CAUTION! MSWHORE MEDIA is sucking US back in..over Rove/Plame!
Should we be WARY? Those of us who tuned out to the "WHORE MEDIA CABLES" and CUT IT OFF or Tuned Out!

Personally...I find that our new Internet Progressive, Far Right, Labor Liberal Web Sites are WAY AHEAD of the MSM/Cables...so even though I've "tuned in" and am "monitoring" the cables...I still know NOT to get the
REAL NEWS from these sites.

The "Whore Media" will always be the "Whore Media" but MY NEWS comes from the great liberal Bloggers....so I'll "check it out" for "spin" but they aren't going to get me watching...because MY NEWS comes from the INTERNET?

Anyone else feel this way?

:shrug:

1. Not sure I follow.
If you mean that they're covering it to shore up bad ratings then I'm inclined to agree.

5. Well the MSM media does bear watchign
It's sad to say but people don't trust bloggers and liberal websites the way they do mainstream sites. Politically minded people do, of course, but for less political people, the news is the news. So it's worth having some of thsoe stories in your pocket to show people.

6. Hey, Hardball is supposedly covering this story exclusively
all week (Tweety missing, Campbell Brown subbing tonight). This story has been on most MSM stations; I'm ecstatic that it's being covered at all so I'll take small victories where I can get 'em, though I'm way more informed by my beloved DU and the participants here. It's all good for us at the moment, and after many dark days it's a relief and inspiring!

8. Agree....suddenly the "MSM" is the darling of the DU...when some of us
have learned: "Spin, obfuscation, disinformation, and all of the rest of this.

WHERE WERE THEY BEFORE? NOW...they come with bags in hand....with Corporate Whore Money looking for RATINGS and not TRUTH!


They play us like "violins." They know the "Left" is so hungry for media coverage and their ratings have tanked so bad going after the FOX audience and their "producers making millions" and their owners "Making BILLIONS" are hammering them every day saying ....PERFORM! PERFORM! PERFORM!

It's a SPORTS GAME. BUSH VS PUNY DEMS! Let's play this one up big...it might get the folks who are "tired of AMBER ALERTS to tune in.

MEDIA WHORES...as they sing their SIREN SONGS and SPREAD THEIR LEGS OR BUTTS...THERE's NO DIFFERENCE!

11. Look to the polls
When * is ahead in the polls, attacking him becomes ri$ky.

Well, he's plummeting and there's nothing they can do to save him

SOOOOOOO

Time to turn and bite the hand that's been feeding them.

The wonders of capitalism.
