A nation being led like lemmings off the cliff by the media

[Herman Munster]

“The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcolm X

1. this is a good example of why John Edwards was right and the right candidate

[Triana]

13. Absolutely.

It's SO DAMN SAD we didn't get to choose him. Along with Gore, Kucinich, Dean, etc. etc.

[MercutioATC]

2. We don't agree on much....

...THIS, we agree on.

[K Gardner]

where a new America waits on the outer shore, far from the maddening crowd :-)

[annie1]

9. yes.or maybe you can walk on water like obama!

[K Gardner]

10. Keep hate alive!

[Jamastiene]

12. NOBAMA! n/t

[scheming daemons]

15. You see it slipping away, don't ya Hermie?

You're in the 4th stage of grief:

Stage 1: Denial

"I can't believe this many people are being drawn to Obama!"

Stage 2: Anger

"I hate these people who don't agree with me about Hillary! They're pissing me off!"

Stage 3: Bargaining

"If we agree to name Obama as Veep, will you guys stay home and let Hillary win this? Pretty please?"

Stage 4: Depression

"This party is going to hell in a handbasket. Obama is leading us over the cliff."

All that's left for you, Hermie, is Stage 5... the last stage.... Acceptance:

"Oh well.... looks like Obama's our nominee."

[andyrowe]

19. Bam!

There it is.

[joshcryer]

20. I just hope, for Obama supporters sake, that the MSM continues supporting him after his nom.

[featherman]

25. Nation being led (to elect a progressive Democrat)

And this is a bad thing, why?

[candice]

16. Corporate media selling O like W, but it killed Gore and Kerry...

...to the benefit of McCain.

[VotesForWomen]

23. absolutely; they're giving O the 'gee, wouldn't ya like to have a beer with him' treatment. sheesh.

[joshcryer]

18. A democracy deserves the government it elects.

[avaistheone1]

21. Yes and no.

Given the media is the message, there are a ton of people who don't know much of anything unless it is on their idiot box.

There are lots of people who are working a couple of jobs and also have to take care of their families who don't have the time to learn about the issues and participate in our democracy.

22. Yes and no.

26. Without DU I would believe the media's nonsense

That's why despite all the bickering, I am here a lot.

I learn a lot.

Before DU, I had no idea there was a DLC pulling strings.

On so many issues, I have learned so much.

It doesn't always make me ahppy, but it does keep my brain active.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

24. you give the media too much credit - this nation acts like lemmings all by itself

[AX10]

27. One of the most obvious things around.

[poppysgal]

28. Amen

Very well said.
