Call MSNBC@ 1-212-664-4444! Ask why they are IGNORING DC Health Care Rally yet feigning concern....
on the direction of the Health Care Debate?

Ask them how they can justify omitting thousands of folks today,
when they reported on a few hundreds during the Tea Bag Party?
Why such different treatment?

4. They covered it accidentally during Mitchell's show
Andrea had Edie Falco (Carmella Soprano, Nurse Jackie) on to talk about Farrah Fawcett's cancer and death. Edie Falco happened to be at the Capitol today to speak out for Health Care reform and even managed to get that into the conversation for a minute or so - in between Farrah talk.

5. I called about 5 times
I all and then push all the buttons and keep pushing buttons to jam the line as long as possible. The calls won't matter unless we start shutting down switchboards.

9. Better yet, ask them why they are laughing at it. Shuster and Tamron Hall just now-
They just picked and played a few seconds of someone at the podium leading in song and made it look extraordinarily anemic and corny. Tamron was audibly giggling. My bet is they will repeat those few select seconds over and over if they show any of it again at all. The media knows how to do this.

Ask them if they have no other footage of anyone actually **speaking on the issues.**

11. Listen Carefully especially to Reporters and Commentators from
GE(NBC, MSNBC)

They have stated if anyone bothered to listen. They oppose the
public option.

GE offers employees some of the best coverage available.

Chuck Todd, Chris Matthew, Tapper(ABC?) Nora O Donnell, the list
goes on: They are pushing the notion that Obama must be able
to assure people who have good health insurance that the public
option will cause them to lose their insurance and force
them onto the Public Plan.

Here is their belief. If a public ooption is there, Companies
like GE will see that and decide--WE (GE) could save a lot of money
if we stopped offering health care benefits. They will have no
reason to feel Guilty because they know their employees can go
on the Public Option and choose a plan to their liking. This is
the GOP talking point and the Media believes it and fighting
to save their own health care.
Our Media are a very selfish lot who thinks only of themselves
(Narcissistic Lot).

It is ok with the Media that average Americans lose their Health
Care every day. People die every day from lack of Medical Care.
God Help us, do not ask the Media to help out the Country.

The Media played a huge role in killing the Clinton Health Care
but have never been called on it.

12. The media has played a big ass role in a whole lot of things,
and yet, we quote them here at verbatim....as though we should believe what they ever say.

We are, what some would call, enablers of this bunch of traitors!

14. It's because these people are comfortable with the coverage they have...
They don't want any change in how health care is divied up in the country...
