MSNBC Anchor: "You ever seen anything like this"

[independentchristian]

When interviewing a guy from the Wall Street Journal about all of these pro SS privatization groups that are going to run ads trying to get people to support Bush's scheme.

Why didn't that idiot say "you ever seen anything like this" with just as big of a smile on her face in reference to the groups who are against SS privatization who were denied the right to run their ads on NBC affiliates?

These two-faced idiots make me sick!

Your company denies one group the right to air their ads that are against it, and then you come on television and pump up the people who are running ads in favor of it?

I am sick and tired of this crap.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

1. wait...

so.... there are going to be advertisements on TV for the plan but they are not going to allow any advertisements against it?

is this just NBC?

wow.

[rqstnnlitnmnt]

3. LMAO

it's friday, down another one and just watch the shit fly

of course they won't, why are you surprised?

[SheepyMcSheepster]

7. yes, i am kind of suprised

how can it be justified?
i mean, usually there has to be some kind "argument" one would make saying that there is some reason for denying the ads, i am wondering what the "reason" could possible be?

10. NBC is owned by GE which also owns GE Financial.

They would make out like bandits on this scam!

5. Got the issues mixed up.

My bad, it was "TORT REFORM". So many issues, I got'em mixed up.

Oh well, be on the lookout for this.

Same issue though. They are denying a group the right to run ads AGAINST BUSH on tort reform, but they were pumping up people who want to run ads in support of SS privatization.

It's still hypocrisy.

2. Corporate whores

I just wish they were all going to be around when it's Social Security come to Jesus when all people retire and there is NOTHING there to take care of them.

4. We need to PROTEST loudly and in the streets against the MEDIA as

well as the administration. This is totally ridiculous. There ought to be a law against the media doing this but thanks to de-regulation by the Republicans they can get away with it! We must take our message to the streets!! Even if it means marching in small towns across America.

6. Write to NBC and complain!

Write to FAIR and Media Matters for America to report it.

8. RE: SS privatization

These 2 states a day propaganda trips Shrub is doing. Are we, the taxpayers, footing the bill?

[Warren Stupidity]

11. of course we are

* will visit some federal facility. That will pay for the trip on AF1 etc.

[havocmom]

15. And then the local communities have to pick up the tab for extra security

and traffic control. Most communities can't even afford the basic emergency services their own tax payers need!

All communities visited by Dimson and Chicken Hawk Dick should demand an up front deposit to defray costs associated with police manpower for such visits. If their needs are not met, they should not provide so much as a traffic cone to deflect traffic. Let the SS run around and keep the thief-in-chief and green parka boy safe without any help/expense from the locals. Only the select few get to attend their photo ops anyway. Let them pay for their own damned security.

Maybe security and keeping protesters hidden wouldn't be such an expensive issue if they stop pissing people off.

9. Immelt at GE is behind Bush 100% on this AND war. More money for them

on both matters. Their profits are WAY up.

14. General electric makes military equipment

Then they make money when we use it in war
Then they make money when NBC covers the war

[Up2Late]

12. I'm beginning to think that all this SS "Reform" Hard Sell is a "WMD"

"Weapon of Mass Distraction"

Anyone else think that maybe this all a bunch of BS to get Democrats all worked up and working to defeat it, when even most of the Senate, is saying it has got about a Snow Balls chance in Hell of passing?

Then they go and slip a bunch of really bad stuff past most Americans.

Or maybe it's just a "hard sell opening bid?" You know, ask for $1,000,000.00, even though you know it's worth $250,000.00, in hopes that the other party will offer LOW (say $200,000.00), so when you settle for less, everyone thinks they got a good deal?

13. This is grounds for another boycott. nt

17. I bought a new refrigerator a couple of weeks ago, I told the dude

selling them, "Show me anything but a GE product." Ended up with a Whirlpool. Last I heard they will still trying to make them in Michigan, but they may have closed down their last plant. Not sure. In any event, at least Whirlpool is not into making nukes and war profiteering.
