Why is All the media ganging up?

[Greenpeach]

Everyone is trashing, not only Coakley, but Obama. It's like a free-for-all. Everything they've done wrong, and making a super hero out of that disgusting centerfold, Brown

[spanone]

1. this is what our media does

[cliffordu]

2. The churn sells. And this can be spun as major churn....

[eleny]

3. The polls

[zanana1]

4. That's been happening since Obama was elected.

Bush could do no wrong, but Obama can't sneeze without press criticism.

[Blue-Jay]

5. They're paying the bills.

[HipChick]

6. They want to see Obama fail...

so they can write the story

[Grand Taurean]

7. Corporate media

They only liked Obama as a candidate, once it gets to policy, the MSM as it's called supports conservative policies on economics.

[alstephenson]

10. The MSM supports CORPORATIONS. eom

[Uncle Joe]

21. +1 n/t

[Greenpeach]

15. It just seems worse than usual...

Completely unbridled, all of 'em...Schultz, Tweety, definitely, and Kudlow Report was frightening. He almost swallowed his tongue with excitement.

[euphoria12leo]

24. Joan Walsh did interrupt

the bs on the Ed show and say Martha Coakley ran a poor campaign. She listed all the mistakes Martha made including her need to take a break instead of campaigning. :mad: :mad: I guess it was just too cold for her to get out, shake hands and talk with voters. :spank:

[Uncle Joe]

19. +1 n/t

[Uncle Joe]

20. Dupe self-delete.

[TxRider]

8. The media only likes one thing more than building someone into superstar status

And that is tearing them down afterward.

[krabigirl]

9. Because the media is owned by right-wing interests. I just don't watch TV news anymore, except PBS.

11. Dirty Laundry - Still True...

By Don Henley

Dirty Laundry

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry

Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around

We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

:shrug:

12. And they have some guy on Matthews that says---

After Matthews asks him, what do the Democrats do now, if Brown wins. The guy replies well the Democrats have to reach across the aisle and go with more bi-partisanship. They have to work with the republicans. So in other words the Democrats have to let the republicans run things. HELL NO>

WHAT IN THE S.O.B. HELL HAVE THE DEMOCRATS BEEN TRYING TO DO SINCE OBAMA WON....The republicans have refused from day one to work with Democrats. And why should the Democrats work with the republicans anyway. If they had stuck to the fact that they are the ones in the majority, if they had gotten off their a** and did the work they were elected to, they might have shown the public they were fixing bush's mess. This is the most ridiculous and outrageous thing for anybody to say. And I hope to hell the people of MA get the mess they deserve if brown is elected. I hope they sick like a rock. Senator Kerry should tell them all. Look what the Swift Boats did to me, and then they came into MA and sunk Coakley, and you voted for Brown. How much does it take to make YOU PEOPLE REAL AMERICANS.

[Greenpeach]

17. Jon Stewart was great last night

He said "Bush had not nearly the percentage in Congress and did any effing thing he wanted to"

[moondust]

13. It worked in 2000

to install a bumbling idiot in the WH.

[WeDidIt]

14. They decided the narrative over the weekend and are flying blind tonight

The media narrative was decided, Coakley is going down.

They're flying blind tonight because there are no exit polls.

That's why I'm not watching their dumbasses. I knew how this was going to go late last week when the media narrative on it solidified.

[sendero]

16. Our media is nominally Republican..

.. all of it. No surprise here.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Man bites dog is a story. Even Jimmy Olsen knows this.

[Doctor_J]

22. because they're partisan republican whores

and no one ever does anything about any of them

[8 track mind]

23. It quite disgusting. n/t

[MrsCorleone]

25. It's all about big money. Period.

Large corporations, corporations that have absolutely no allegiance to the the people of this country, will not give up their billion $ gravy train, the economy and the American people be damned.

These multinationals own the media (and the Republicans), so the bashing of Obama and the progressives in congress will continue as long as Big Biz's power is threatened by policies that favor small businesses and average Americans.
