I'll bet if you check their personal wealth indexes over the last 8 years they have all gotten quite the income boost (like they needed it) for all of the insanity they've been happily pushing. (Hell, some of them may even be on the list of super rich who have been dodging their taxes via Licthenstein)
Right wing nut radio has turned into one long commercial selling mcsame and denigrating Obama.
I don't listen to much but what I do listen to, the subject is always Obama the Messiah, etc. or how mcsame is not being given his due.
They are not serious about journalism, but they are serious about pol-porn.
How sad.
FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.
limbaugh is an expert on viagra/oxycontin cocktails. that's it.
Well, isn't that special.
But could you please explain this recent obsession of yours of constantly referring to Andrea Mitchell as Mrs. Greenspan? I'm pretty sure you don't believe a woman is defined by who her husband is.
Anybody notice all the whining on the wingnut stations about how Obama is treated vs mcsame?
They are all whining from the same whining play book. You would think they were all reading from the same sheet of talking points.
I really believe that they know deep-down that if they covered this thing properly, Obama will land-slide McCain in the election. That, of course, would not benefit their business operations.
Look at how 'close' they kept saying the Clinton/Obama race was all the way through June even though it was over by the beginning of March. Obviously, making the primary sound closer than it actually was was good for business. Look at how good the ratings were. They want that all the way through November.
Meanwhile, the media is mute when McCain violates campaign finance laws, misidentifies belligerent parties in Iraq, can't find the countries of the Middle East on a map, or hires an economic adviser who talks the candidate's campaign into a corner. So, when the media decides not to report on McSame's McSameable moments, he doesn't get much coverage.
What we have here is a media organization so desperately entrenched in manufactured spin that they no longer have any idea how to gather information, exercise ethical standards, or provide reliable information for the American people. Their quote of some wingnut congressman and Rush Limbaugh - himself completely unqualified academically and professionally to understand anything about the nuances of media bias - merely make the Associated Press seem more like the Republican shills they are.
And I am Marie of Roumania.
McCain has never been neocon enough for limbaugh and now he's having to fall in line like the rest of the GOPers...then again, McMaverick has been pandering his ass off lately to this crowd...should be interesting.
