Mother . . . . . . Fucker
CBS Evening Nooz, with the Couric woman not in evidence, had a story on Mr. Beck's rally tomorrow at an unfortunate place and on an unfortunate date. Blah, blah, blah. In the course of the story, they interviewed Al Sharpton. They edited him down to a few soundbites about Beck.

Not one word from CBS about the rally Sharpton's sponsoring tomorrow.

And at the most fundamental level, how is Beck news?

Every fucking time I watch CBS, I get pissed off at them. Every fucking time. Why no mention of Sharpton's rally? Is Beck a serious man and Sharpton a clown?


Mother

Fucker

11. If that were true, Sharpton would be on every day
Big Media is on the side of Satan, just as Beck is

14. Emphasis was on the freak there
The media seems to generally be interested in the whackos who stir up a ruckus. That's how the Teabaggers, anti-gays, anti-choicers, and other hateful whackos are always in the news while the voices of sanity and peace go virtually unnoticed in the melee, though there are many more of them than the former.

9. that's true
I am surprised at the number of DUers who patronize the fascist media and then come here to bitch about it. It happens every day.

7. This will continue, and get worse
until we have had enough, and decide to take the country back. I am unsure how it will start, or when, but eventually a small group of real Americans will decide they can't take any more, and will do what others have done. Granted, to this point we have allowed a complete media takeover, election theft, murder, incitement to murder, treason, slander, the complete corruption of the court system, and the complete rape of the Bill Of Rights (except for the 2nd Amendment) to pass off with zero retribution. But I still have a germ of faith in the people of the US, and believe that at some point we will do more than express outrage to each other.

Here is a pretty good preview of what we're in for:

8. the mainstream media is absolute garbage.
what complete and utter bullshit they spout. Screw all of this lying, corporate filth that laughingly poses as "news". It's nothing but slimy corporate propaganda, and the reporters and editors infecting the tv, radio, and newspapers today are disgraceful suckups and hacks.

13. I got rid of my TeeVee when I started taking blood pressure meds.
I finally 86ed the stupid thing a couple of years ago.

Blood pressure at the doctor's visit today was 102/68. :-)

15. I don't know why but I hate Beck more than anyone else on the right.
Am I just projecting or is he really the ultimate in sleeze and slime?

18. Many of us saw EXACTLY what CBS was the way they kissed Bush ass and kicked Rather to the curb
in 2004. And Schieffer's coziness with the Bushes is classic subservience to the BFEE and has been for ages.

25. Yes he is and when the crap hits the fan he , Sarah and the
rest of the assholes will claim they had nothing to do with the violence.

They are accepting no responsibility for what they are doing to this country.

29. Right wingers never accept responsibility for anything they cause
. . .their whole meme is finding another boogyman . . or. . boo-gay-man to bear the brunt of their fear and anger. It is ALWAYS about the "other" for them.

If conservatives had to live with the kind of treatment they dish out to others, most would melt.

22. CNN's Situation Room did a reasonably good piece
Edited on Fri Aug-27-10 09:01 PM by Turborama
They said don't be deceived by the size of the crowd, "look how it's all going to be compressed", or words to that effect.

They did mention Al Sharpton's rally, but they didn't give its location for people who want to go to it. Apparently John King did an interview with Sharpton but I haven't seen it yet.#

ETA Anderson Cooper just said that Al Sharpton will be on his show shortly...

in DC that's been there since the late 1800's.

28. If three teabaggers show up on any street corner in America
with one poorly spelled sign, the entire mainstream media runs hours of "specials" on their every thought and action. The rest of America doesn't exist to the media.
