Is it me...?...or has the MSM done a complete 180...?
It seems to me now that they are starting to go back to regular MSM mode and are now covering for BushCo and the incompetents...

3. Too early to tell
but they went after Pickles really good a few minutes ago.

However, MOST Americans just HAVE to be totally APPALLED at what is going on.

Especially the reporters who are there.

23. There has been no new feed from the center in NO.
I believe we are facing an intentional black-out.

15. They day will come only when
their corporate masters have no more need for them and turn against them. I.e., when corporations have the power to make law - or when there is no more law.

19. Just in time for the weekend news cycle.
The whores will be spouting off what a He-roe he is and thank God he came to NOLA's rescue. Greatest natural disaster - time pResident ever and all that shit.

C'mon... you all give the M$M too much credit.

Why the only one who stood by their whorish guns this week was Tweety. You should've gotten a clue from that that things were going to revert back to the norm.

6. I thought I couldn't GET any more sickened
but this is WORSE than watching the suffering. I'm weeping. The brief moment of truth is over. Curtain drops. Lights out.

I'm heading to the Activist Forum. I have to turn this disgust and revulsion into something positive.

9. I am outraged!
A beautiful blonde high school student went out drinking with island locals, and has not been found for months.

And you liberal commies actually want someone to help out those hooligan lower class peons?

What the fuck are you thinking? This is AMERICA!

Dear God, if you don't know this is :sarcasm: - I just give up.

10. Well, the 'trickle down" to some of the reporters hasn't fully happened...
Anderson and Koppel will get spanked later...

11. Of course they melt at the mere sight of their emperor
Never bite the hand that feeds you I hear. Unfortunately, when you are starving that doesn't work.

Also, NEVER trust CNN. C'mon people they are evil. Fox is obvious but that damn CNN reels you guys in. I STILL refused to watch them during this..not even with the much lauded Cooper Anderson tears. Just two weeks ago he trashed Cindy Sheehan.(according to DU) I have a pretty long memory and they are not going to trash my reality anymore.

12. If Anderson Cooper, Aaron Brown and Koppell go back to kissing bush.....
...tonight..then we will all know...In fact we'll know two things, one, the MSM has been proven to be owned, and two, this country is completely and utterly fucked...

14. I agree........
They seemed to change as soon as asshat made an appearance with food and water coming shortly thereafter......coincidentally.

16. Yes and No
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 02:20 PM by RummyTheDummy
It would be naive to think with Shit for Brains visiting the region today he won't get some attention. The real questions will be asked in '06 and '08 and there will be plenty of them. His numbers aren't going to go up from here. He won't recover. How much damage that does to the rest of the Rethug party is the 64k question IMO.

Just utterly, utterly hopeless. I give up hope for any common sense or reason to seep through the MSM.

22. Well, they're NOT going to NOT cover him. He *is* a newsmaker
It depends on what the commentary will be around it. Seems like CNN has been calling it for what it is, right?

24. I got that feeling watching the news.
All is fine help is here, la, la ,la pay no attention to the bodies in the street. They are just hispanic and black anyway... :sarcasm:

Hopefully Anderson Cooper and Olberman will take the slack back up tonight. They were both relentless with the truth yesterday.
