Did we get Snookered when the WH Press Corp Challenged Scotty..for
a "few days?" We thought the Media "turned" in our favor.. But was it TOTAL DECEIT?

A way to get us to "Tune Back In" for a "Corporate Controlled Media" who was just "taking a breather" in their WHORE FEST FOR BUSH/CORPORATISTS?

It seems to me that "THEY...they.." were trying to get ME to forego cancelling my "Time-Warner Cable" in a last ditch effort to try to "look like" they were FINALLY going to report the NEWS as "Fair and Ballanced."

Sheesh..how many times have they "snookered me" and I've turned off my TV for Months and then a story so favorable to Democrats or "Americans with Honor" comes along..and I "think" they will FINALLY REPORT THE TRUTH."

They give us a 24hr. cycle of Dem News...about ONCE every 6 Months. Why should I keep my Shit Cable for this CRAP? (I only kept it ..if you want to know the truth..for C-Span all these years...and even C-Span has gone to the "Dark Side" lately. :shrug:

1. i wasn't. there hasn't been an objective media in this country for years
It is corporate dictated

News is suppossed to ask the tough questions, no matter who is in power

the ONLY reason they appeared to ask the tough questions to the press secretary is because "THEY" felt betrayed. It didn't have anything to do with the publics right to know, or that the public was betrayed. In fact, the public HAS BEEN BETRAYED by the media in this country for the last 13 years

3. No, it's just that the internet/blogs are beginning to dictate
the news cycle and the dinosaurs in the MSM are having a hard time keeping up!

I was suspicious of the reports they went back to reporting news even so.
