CNN, FOX, NBC et al, where are those tapes? Inquiring minds want to know.

How rich is this? The GOP is all upset that Obama is "politicizing the killing of bin Laden."

..........................

They will, of course, deny that they politicized 9/11 or terrorism. But they forget, we have the video tapes. And, if the cable "news" media fails to dig out those tapes and run them every time the Republicans bash Obama for succeeding where they failed, then we should get our hands on them and flood YouTube with them.


So let us demand those tapes. You and I know they exist, because we saw and heard them back in the day. So where are they now and why haven't producers dug the out to run every time Republicans charge Democrats with politicizing the war on terror and the killing of bin Laden? You gotta know that, had Bush II bagged bin Laden instead of Obama that would be right on the very top of the GOPs talking points right now, about how Obama is "weak on terrorists."

So, CNN, FOX, NBC et al, where are those tapes? Inquiring minds want to know.

Of course we already know that politicians can't be shamed. What we need to know now is which or any media outlets can or can't be shamed.

Wouldn't you love to find out? I would.

need to get Turner back. He was great for CNN. But that is what happens when you try to kiss the tea party ass and people see it and know it.

The lady host said ' the Democrats cut the budget for terrorism, it's so sad' and she shook her head ruefully. Classic Fox news GOP crap.

Like we don't remember how the GOP used 9/11 as a political sledge hammer from 2001-2008.

Leave it to the media to 'forget' how the GOP used the largest intelligence failure of all time as a reason to be re-elected, yet turn the Democrat's biggest intelligence victory into a political liability and a reason to not vote for them.

I laughed out loud today when I saw CNN and Suzanne Malveaux talk about the importance of a free media - in other countries.

It's time to realize that the media has been corrupted thoroughly by right wing interests and it's never coming back. It would be easier if we just stopped expecting it to.

10. How about just a side by side picture -- Mitt at 911 vs. Obama in Afghanistan

The anniversary of failure versus the anniversary of success.

And Mitt's quote about how he would not have killed OBL or the drama queen one about not 'moving heaven and earth to catch one person.'

Cable news is worthless.
