The GOP are just being their scandalous lying selves....it's the media who's way out of line!
Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 02:01 AM by FrenchieCat
I expect the GOP to howl and holler about everything that this President says or does.
I expect the GOP wanting to distort and twist the various debates this country needs to have
in respect to health care, National Security, the economy and other concerns.
I even expect the GOP to lie and connive and do whatever they can to stop the Democrats.

What I still have a real problem accepting is the mainstream media in this country and how it assists the GOP by having them on programs in large numbers although they are the minority party who just lost, reporters quoting GOP talking point as run-of-the-mill facts, while not pointing out the fallacy of those talking points.

The fact still remains that the large conglomerates known as the American Corporate media have almost has much power as the Iranian Supreme leader....and that is a scary thing indeed.

1. mostly everything we think we know, including the frames we process info through, =
2nd-hand.

the frames & grounding info are established when we're very young, & = part of our very identities.

2. France is equally bad, is that what you're trying to say, Frenchie?
By all accounts France has a functioning health care delivery system;
no way can it be equally bad there!

9. That's okay, it's not totally clear to me either.
Frenchie could probably help clarify it
except she has herself (and me) on 'Ignore.'
