When is the corporate MSM gonna STFU on questioning if the Blago scandal will hurt Obama?

[RiverStone]

The MSM is scrapping the bottom of the news barrel trying to find some juicy gossip to tie President Elect Obama into a compromising relationship with crook Blago.

There is nothing to report here. News is slow around the holidays. Speculation is running rampant.

Blago is an arrogant megalomaniac who deserves to land behind bars.

President Obama and his team are orchastrating a transition with BIG approval ratings across the country. There will be no raining on Obama's inauguration no matter how loud the wingnut talking heads bangs the drums.

Somebody needs to tell these people to get a life! :think:

2. Wouldn't it be expected for Obama to have spoken to Blagojevich about a replacement?

Not in the sense of Blago's corruption, but simply to give his thoughts about who he thought should succeed him? Fitzgerald would have mentioned this if there was any evidence of corruption on his part, but why is everyone so damn concerned about one conversation?

4. It would be weird if he didn't.

6. No it wouldn't. Anybody familiar with Blago and Illinois knows that

Blago has been toxic since about 2003. Obama isn't dumb! He wouldn't talk to that son of a bitch about jack because he knows he's a shady character. Why do you think Blago wasn't around during the elections or campaigning for Obama? Obama is a smart man and because he's from Chicago he knows to stay away from that fucker. JJJ just said he hadn't talked to Blago in 4 years! People with brains know this man didn't just become shady...he's been shady for years!

3. I just did. I just called MSNBC.......

Spoke with live person and left a message as well. She seemed sympathetic to my issue.

I asked if she remembered that Obama was a victim in this, being called a Motherfucker.

I asked why the media wasn't more enraged that a governor was calling our next President a Motherfucker. No, I didn't bleep it....just said it softly without a lot of feeling! :)

Everyone ticked off about this should be calling them!

7. You inspired me. I e-mailed and asked for some real journalism for

a change. "I want news on Norm Coleman being investigated by the FBI. President Elect Obama has made his statement, that's all there is. Please."

8. There you go!

Guess we will have to stay on their ass like white on rice till 2016 or till the media is changed by our new administration.

9. Thanks FrenchieCat!

Will do the same after I'm off work. They take stats on these calls, hopefully somebody with a brain will listen.

5. The Right-Wing Scream Machine is doing what it does

Until laws are passed (such as the Fairness Doctrine) to restore some semblance of factual basis to 'news' channels, they'll keep on catapulting the propaganda.

10. Not holding my breath

they'll stoop very low for a story, never mind its value or truthfulness.
They LOVE a good smear.
Fucking liberal biased media.

11. Blago is about as relevant as Rezko in Barack's overall narrative the story has just begun and it's ...

an exciting one. If MSM are trying to manipulate us the simple answer is to just turn the TV off.

12. When the RNC faxes them their next talking points

and they have a life - it consists of pushing the fascist repuke agenda.

[FloridaGrl]

13. Yeah

If the allegations aren't that PE Obama had his hands in this big scheme to sell his senate seat well STFU. Even if they (Obama and Blago) or someone from his team spoke about his replacement so what!
