AP: Benedict examined American society, saying he detected anger and alienation, increasing violence and a "growing forgetfulness of God."

Uh-oh, the Pope said Americans are "bitter"!

Why does the Pope hate America?
Good grief.
The APs job is to advance the Neocon-WAR-MACHINE agenda.
Just like Hillary.
Reports are that Morning Joe stomped off the David Gregory show after a dust up with Rachel Maddow. I watched the exchange between Maddow and Scarbourgh and at the time I thought to myself, Scarborurgh doesn't like Maddow and it shows. His attitude was downright snotty and sarcastic and this isn't the first time he has performed this way with Maddow. I don't know if he only dislikes Maddow or does he dislike like all women who have thinking minds?
As in unglued. Dan Abrams right now is raking Stephanopoulos over the coals. Will ABC or more importantly will Stephanopoulos ever regain any crediblity? ABC for sure will survive but I think people will begin to see Snuffy (tired of typing that long name) in a much different light for a long time.
What ABC was trying to do was NOT examing electability at all - they were attempting to give more wind to the sails of their own created "controversies" that were acquired from the right wing. In other words, both moderaters were only interested in trying to get sound bites from the candidates to promote their own manufactured "issues" - they don't give one damn about the American people.
We cannot let this go - this is too blatant and too important. Someone needs to get smart enough in an interview with one of those ABC bozos and explain to them that, just because conservatives apparently run their network, they don't reflect the thoughts of the majority of the American people. Steph's remarks are the perfect evidence of just how elitist and arrogant the news organization is at that network - and how completely out of touch they are with the American people.
They should not be allowed to continue covering the election campaigns.
I happened to catch a report on Fox News today (it was already on when I entered the room, I promise) and the analyst was simply mocking Obama as someone who couldn't stand a little pressure. They played a clip of Obama saying how he didn't like playing gotcha politics and the pundits just went crazy about how this showed he couldn't handle the pressures of being President.
Seems to me that I'd rather have a president who wants to talk about the issues instead of playing gotcha politics. But then again, why would I expect Fox News to have any commonsense when it comes to knowing what the people actually want to hear.
he's a goner.
What is even more telling is how the AP believes that Republican supporters should be interviewed for "balance" about candidates in Democratic primaries - part of Rush's chaos conspiracy, I suppose...:-)
The smirking little traitor.
This is another example of why the establishment news continually fails us.
On a really upbeat note; Yahoo biz says there are 7 great things about a recession:

ABC is laughing all the way to the bank. The debate was a huge success in #'s of viewers; especially in the #'s who stayed and watched it to the end. In spite of some stupid questions; almost everyone thinks Obama did well. Hillary's attempt to explain when a "lie" is not a "lie" was so sophomoric as to make the viewers squirm in their seats.

Busboy,
You're confusing viewer interest with a successful debate. They're not synonymous. Judging by the debate reaction at ABC's website, in the papers, and on many blogs...the debate was an unmitigated disaster. I expect ABC will see a lot of fallout from this, which may hit their wallet.
Regarding Yahoo Biz...right, it's great being unemployed, homeless and on food stamps. Bet they recommend it to everyone.
Oh. I bet you meant the superb links he brings to these threads.
Yeah, that too.
;-)
OT of the debate:
McCain Admits His Economic Plan ‘Disagrees With The Experts’
Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) presented an economic plan that offers a $1.7 trillion tax cut for corporations, “more than twice as much as McCain gives families with his child deduction,” as The Wonk Room’s James Kvaal and Robert Gordon noted.
Today on MSNBC, McCain was asked if he is understating the costs of his tax cuts. “Independent experts say your tax cuts would cost at least $100 billion more than you say and that the savings would not materialize,” Andrea Mitchell said. McCain retorted:
"I disagree. I disagree with the experts. I disagree. I disagree. I disagree with the experts. I have experts of my own. I have many experts of my own who say that this will stimulate the economy, will create jobs, and increase revenues over time."
McCain said Ronald Reagan also reduced taxes in 1981. But when Mitchell noted that Reagan did “bust the deficit,” McCain tried to dodge: “Not early on it did — I am a deficit hawk.”
Good video, too. McC was getting pissed at Andrea Mitchell:
