Why is the media shielding fox...

[butterfly77]

is it so that they can now say some of the things they were afraid to say about Obama are they trying to pretend to the public that they are fair and balanced because, we all know that they don't report the news they try to make the news. This morning Scarbourough told some who emailed the show don't look at it if you don't want to hear the truth.

Now,they (all of the so called media) want to pretend that they are some really solid journalists who are digging in to find out the truth about every issue when we all know that if McCain was the president these asshole so called journalist,media talking heads would not say a damn thing about anything.

They all knew/know about Halliburton/KBR and they never have done or reported anything now, all of a sudden they suddenly have new revelations about everything that is going on in the government. Now they want us to become suddenly outraged about things we have been talking about for years.

The media doesn't report the news they tell us how we are suppose to look at the news, and how we are suppose to react to it. Now,they all get together on tv and try to tell us that the whitehouse has no right to tell fox assholes where to put it or to say that they are just an opinionated station.

1. their hands aren't clean

they don't want a debate on what is "really" news and wah isn't, becasue they have all been part of the entertainment division since the 80s. The line between fox and the rest of the nets is rather thin and growing more so every --balloonboy--day.

3. Bingo!

Take a close look at the King, and then you see that the other royals are suddenly lacking clothes, too.

2. They ALL serve the same master - the corps that run, and ruin, Amerika. Fuck is simply the

lead animal to guide the rest of the lemmings off the cliff.

Do not assign ANY noble purpose to the M$M. They are not journalists - merely pitchmen for a defective product.

4. Because the American media networks all have the same goals

and intentions in mind. Don't be fooled that they may be owned by different corporations. They all act as gatekeepers. If one goes down, it damages the integrity of the rest. The whole Rev. Wright "scandal" was started by FOX and picked up by the rest.

5. Scarbourough is fighting like hell for fox..

and the asshole Tapper at ABC news, Tapper has hated that Obama won the presidency from day one. Scar said if you don't want to hear the truth don't turn on his show. What truth his and fox's made up truths, the problem is that they can't handle the truth and that is why they make up their own news like faux...

6. I couldn't believe how off the wall Joe was this morning. He just wouldn't let it go.

Even Mika was trying to change the subject. Joe was on a complete rant...

8. MediaWhores have to stick together or divided

they fall.

10. Yes,Jake Tapper...

has been trying their best to find to attack the Pres...

[butterfly77]

9. Today,he and Mike Barnicle were doing a tag team..

did you see their faces when Mika went off script,they began scrambling to stay on the Obama should leave faux alone theme. Mika said she thought the pres was right to fignt back.

11. Wasn't that telling? She was really trying hard to change the subject because Joe was so

embarrassing! I can only surmise that Joe felt that Obama was winning on this one and he just couldn't stand it. It didn't fit his narrative. He was obsessed! He went on and on...

14. Shocking!

"Mika said she thought the pres was right to fight back."

Every once in awhile she comes up with some common sense.

7. Keith Olbermann sure isn't and he, Maddow, and

a very few others are the only ones who count.

This vid of KO regarding faux is priceless.

And, here's a cross post on Eric Boehlert doing the smack down on jake tapper for defending faux.

12. Because if people start looking at fox with a critical eye

they'll realize the whole institution is dirty and quit being about journalism a long time ago.

15. Yep- nothing but a cartel of overpaid liars and propagandists.

You can really see the difference when you spend time in other western nations- where ethical and honest programs are the rule rather than the exception.

13. I really don't think it matters that the media shields fox.

And that's the beauty, I think, of what Obama has done. He has cast the truth light on fox knowing full well that the other networks are going to be twisting and turning on the impact of the message. That's their problem to deal with however they want. I think the main point is that you can't trust the medium and fox at the very least.

It doesn't matter that they all get together and try to tell us what to think about this White House action. The White House is saying notice this change, this new medium, pay attention to us. And it's working.
