AMERICAblog: This just in: Shocking new "fist bump" revelations from the corporate media

  • jr · 1 year ago
    The beltway bumpkins think a fist bump is a bigger deal than Carol McCain being abandoned, Cindy McCain not paying her taxes, John McCain's Keating 5 involvement, Cindy running up 750k in 1 month on her credit cards, John McCain being on disability despite having a 6 figure job and wife worth 9 figures, McCain's flip flopping on economic knowledge, gun control, immigration, Roe vs Wade, gay marriage, Social Security privatization and taxes

    I *cough* love the "in like FLINT" error.
    Very unintentionally funny.

    Corporate media is White House propaganda. Rove must have Gannon's blackbook of press whores.

    Is it any surprise that the two best reporters in Iraq have now beeen slimed by their opponents in the MSM? Michael Ware has been the ONLY reporter I've heard who tells the truth about the failures of Iraq and the attempt by the Republican MSM to promote prolongation forever. Unfortunately, they simply will have to do more to get him out of sight. Let's look to see if Michael is removed from CNN which will be further validation of where the MSM in general ,and CNN in particular, are headed.

    John, you forgot to specify that those donuts should have sprinkles. Red, white and blue sprinkles.

    Andrea, I am only going to tell you this one time so get it straight. Your favorite boy, McShame, is NO hero. Get over it. You and Mika were disgusting Monday morning. And you call yourselves journalists! I used to feel sorry for Mika for the way Joe treated her but have decided that Joe knows only too well how stupid and self serving Mika is.

    And Andrea, didn't anyone tell you that you can retire at 65? You are way past due.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    Can I add something: her plastic surgery does not conceal the fact that she's a Senior Citizen.
  • Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago
    Excellently put Born! I second every word and the direct way you put it!
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    Both Andrea and Alan G ought take a looong vacation in retirement. They have collectively done enough damage and ought just goooo awaaaay.

    The media is circling like vultures already. They have been spending the spring and summer telling people how weak Obama really is with voters. They are priming it for the coming feeding frenzy in the name of Rove and McCain.
    They are thrilled over the left being upset with Obama on FISA and watching the blogs now. They don't understand that we can criticize and be angry at a candidate for something but, not turn our backs on him. They are hoping we will eat our own for them. But, if not, they are gearing up for their usual role in being cheerleaders for the right. Only this time it will be with more relish as they have their boy, McCain, running.
    clark was just a test drive.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    Let's not fear the Republican slime machine. Know them for what they are and have been. Surely the past 7+ years of Bush/Cheney/McSame/Republican disasters ought be sufficient to overcome the clear slanting by the MSM and the slimesters.
  • vwcat · 1 year ago
    I don't fear them. I get p.o.d at them and the media that enables it. there are so many average voters who do not read blogs and are not aware of the misinformation being peddled. They think what is being reported is true.
    And I feel like I want to do something to fight back. I do not want to go through the same shit as in 2000 and 2004 where our candidates were sunk not so much by republicans but, by a compliant press.
    not this time.
    I do not want them to do this this time. Things are too serious for these games to be allowed to be played.

    If left wing Dems are wondering why Mr. Obama is tacking to the center, then they dont understand corporate media.

    It may be a damned is he does, damned if he doesnt.....trying to stay on that knifes edge, to stay out of a all-blown-out-of-proportion kerfluffle. Beltway bumpkins have been doing this to our candidates since Clinton. It sucks.

    I dont know the answer to this either, just hope the Obama campaign can navigate the waters and come safely into the harbor in victory this coming November.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    Obama's huge advantage are the 7+ Bush/Cheney/Republican disasters and no amount of MSM pollution can change that history. Regardless of one's age, can you even remember a worse situation facing our nation? So much damage. So much of it long-lasting. How on earth can any voter vote for more of the same ( McSame)?
  • lauren1959 · 1 year ago
    Rachael Maddow got attacked rather shamelessly tonight on MSNBC by four conservatives with Scarborough leading the charge, for standing her ground on Obama NOT changing his mind on Iraq- that they simply were making up news.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    I heard it on Air Americ Radio. Rachel did just fine compared to the other bozos.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    lauren hit it right on. Why was Joe even there with that configuration? Rachel did hold the fort and the viewers could recognize the truth of her position even with the 4-to-1 gang.
  • hartporter · 1 year ago
    I read two newspapers a day, and I NEVER see the ridiculous stories you are always citing here. Are papers outside the Pacific Northwest really this much worse? If I see anything about the candidates at all, it is usually not on the front page, and is concerned with actual news.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    hartporter makes a very valid comment. In my area , Page 14 of the local paper is the only place one may find some political or Middle east war(s )news.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    Mrs greenspan attended the same college I did. ugh!


    MEANWHILE, whenever stupid questions are asked about label pins, muslim issues, etc. a person should stare at these clowns and say, "well since you are lowering the level of discourse, sure I'll answer your questions if you answer my questions first:

    Why did McCrazyCain call his wife a c***?

    Why did Cindy Mc cain steal drugs?

    Did Cindy ever become addicted to drugs, legal or not?

    Why?

    Why didn't McCrzyCain pay taxes on one of his house if his wife, Mrs. McDruggie, is spending over $700K in credit cards.

    These questions are soooo important for the American voter you know, so please answer wth the truth,not lies, ok?
  • Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago
    FunMe: I think your questions are fine and I'd like to add a couple more:

    Has McBush3's father Adm. McCain ever had his records looked into? It would seem he must have been VERY busy behind the scenes cleaning up Jonny's multiple messes.

    Does anyone know the truth around a rumor I hear that McBush3 received some sort of veterans benefits based on a FULLY DISABLED status?

    Why will the MSM NOT get into the real truith about McBush3's miliary record?
    Would the light of truth tarnish and shatter the carefully nurtured and polished veneer of lies built up over time?

    And I must strongly agree with your observation that Andrea Greenspan's face lifts do nothing to conceal the fact she is a senior citizen, as am I, but I'm
    sorry to add that the latest work has left her looking more like something unwrapped in an Egyptology Department.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    The histories of GW Bush and J McCain are strikingly similar in every phase. One C student and the other who finished in the lowest five. Each with a strained military record of AWOL to being allowed to continue to crash Navy planes. Presently a 95% support of the Bush legisilative agenda by McSame completes the cycle with the Bush team now in charge of the McSame campaign team. How can McSame be denied????

    Picky picky I know but,

    In like Flynn

    Meaning

    To be quickly and/or emphatically successful, usually in a sexual or romantic context.

    Origin

    in like flynnThis phrase is commonly said to be a reference to Errol Flynn, the Australian film actor. Flynn was famous for his romantic swashbuckler roles in Hollywood films and for his flamboyant private life. His reputation as a hard-drinking, hell-raising ladies' man was apparently well justified, although it has doubtless been enhanced by his delight in playing up to his image. For instance, he entitled his autobiography - My Wicked, Wicked Ways and also did nothing to dispel the incredible but nonetheless widespread rumours as to the the size of his penis and the number of women who had shared his bed. Flynn was acquitted in February 1943 for the statutory rape of a teenage girl.

    We can expect him to go on George Stephanopoulos's show and proclaim his love for Ms. Rome by jumping up and down on George's couch.
  • Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago
    Karen: Does this mean you admit to watching programs on ABC?
    I can only assume you do it for amusement as I have appreciated many of your comments heretofor.

    BUt... it is THE CLOWN NETWORK as long as it continues to employ such dishonest hucksters as Stephi & Charlie" the Wimp" Gibson.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    What is there left to say about Fox and ABC? The corporate takeover of the MSM is now being shown for what it really has become. Voters will have to be very alert about who is saying what to whom? Creating " issues " to fit their agendas has become part of the Republican -MSM- slime machine. Upon reflection, one can understand why the corporate MSM takeover is part and parcel of the corporate control off our government.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    Few people are really fooled by this bearding: 75% of on-line poll respondents say Crist is getting "engaged" for political reasons.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    It is absolutely amazing to hear and read what is forthcoming from the MSM these days regarding any nonsense " issues " they manufacture to fit their agendas. This is a very serious change in how we will get real news. The challenge to Americans to get real news is greater than ever. Will American voters be fooled once again ( for the third time ) by the Republican slime machine with the active assistance of the MSM?
