MEDIA: We Care about the Millions much more than the Boring Billions!
I'm soooo relieved that they care soooo much! :loveya:

What would we do if they didn't? :shrug:

You see, the mystery is key! What fun!
Who took the language on bonuses out of the stimulus bill?
Cause that is really why we are where we are today,
The rest of the story is as interesting as newspaper wrap with old fish in it....
specifically because the Millions may lead to hurting the Democratic administration,
while the Billions were hurting the last Republican administration and the complicit
media who touted free enterprise, free market, and wrote approvingly
about deregulation and lack of oversight every chance they could.

One minute Barack Obama is a Socialist,
the next minute, Barack Obama is a Wall Street/big business enabler.

Yeah....whatever!

Far as I'm concerned, we are just getting more of this!

1. Welcome to the age of media distortion and mistruths
They have an agenda, that much is very obvious. Funny how they cannot decide what Obama is now, a corporate hack or a commie.

2. You got that straight
It's astonishing. Every time they get anywhere near blaming the derivative market itself, up pops some miniscule story to send people running in another direction.

3. I know. It's crazy, isn't it? Where have they been for 8 years
while the torture president sacked the treasury?

4. The rich people who bought hedge funds need to get their money from taxpayers, after all.
Funny how the billions going to them (via AIG and hedge fund managers) seems to be "magic money."

5. Where's the diversity networks to counter the propaganda
and practice some REAL journalism.

Imagine a 1 or 2 real news networks with journalists and reporters who look forward to asking real questions and who feel it's their duty to dig for truthful information.

Maybe one day.

6. It's gonna have to be soon. We are already bankrupt
and in enough wars. They have done as much damage as could be possible by this point.
The pendulum needs to swing back from Yellow Journalism to Investigative Journalism...
and not investigating the dumb shit that doesn't matter in the larger scheme of things.
