Republicans Are Normal, Democrats Are Not

"March 30, 2009 03:30 PM ET | MichaelBarone | Permanent Link | Print
By MichaelBarone, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
My U.S. News column this week is on the roadblocks the Obama administration is encountering to its expansive budget and economic policies."

Now tell me the one about the Three little Pigs............

You honestly do not understand the playing field, do you??

US News is the magazine-mouthpiece- of Wall Street and the multinats.

They will use the Faux crowd like most people use toilet paper- and for the same reason.

See, the TRUE rich are very rich, but lack numbewrs because that's how it works when a few control so much of the wealth.

Therefore to get some numbers they have to convince someboby..... anybody.... in the former Middle Class to vote against their own economic interests.

So, Barone and ilk will do- say- anything to keep their hegemonic situation in our political system.

Oh I get it.

Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.

GOP jams the airwaves - Politico.com Print View

"If she had been monitoring MSNBC last week, she would have noticed that more congressional Republicans than Democrats appeared on the network to discuss the stimulus — by a tally of 15-9.

In fact, more congressional Republicans than Democrats appeared on all of the major cable news networks — CNN, Fox News, Fox Business and CNBC — during three days last week surrounding the House vote on the stimulus plan. That’s according to a report by Think Progress, a project of the left-leaning Center for American Progress, which added up congressional TV hits related to the stimulus bill."

Finally, the myth that MSNBC is "Liberal".

If anyone does not know by now, I'm a news junkie.

MSNBC is the station I most frequently watch these days- not because they lie (to the corporate right- in their case GE's Boardroom) any less than the others do, but because I used to watch CNN and then Fox, and MSNBC is just the next network in my rotation.

Of course, for real news-facts- I use other sources- foreign one's- Match, O Globo, The Guardian, and the best for last- C-Span and Democracy Now.

And from all of this, it's easy to tell:

A. Anyone who thinks ANY mainstream American media is credible and honest in their reporting is foolish, or perhaps provencial, at best.

B. Anyone who thinks MSNBC is "liberal" is admitting they just don't know the facts.

I think we all know what we are dealing with here. It really would be sad if it weren't so funny.

Happy 4th all!!

wikipedia is not totally partisan but they do their best to try to keep it that way.

Go find "global warming" and try to edit that page.
Go find something non contriversial and try to edit that page.

You do not need an account there to do it.
