If you think we have any friends in the media, think again.

This Sunday morning was just one example. And example of this Sunday morning is the interview McCain gave to Face The Nation. For the rest of the day, you'd think no one else said one word. There were no other quotes in the news on radio or teevee except the pearls from this sorry sack of shit.

From local weekly rags that survive on Work From Home classifieds to the major networks, to all the cabal nooz yakkers, the theme was how will Democrats survive with the shitty economy which is getting worse with every day of the Obama presidency and OMG can you beleive what they're saying about Rmony and how unfair is that I mean after all it is only a few million in Bermuda and Switzerland and they're all "thrilled" he's successful even while he was offshoring and bleeding companies but let's not talk about that.

How bad off IS the Obama campaign?






This shit happens every election cycle. There is NO safe zone on the media. None. There is no place on the media where the unspun facts are available. Certainly there is no place that is left friendly in the way the major media are right friendly.

1. Chris Hayes was good as usual over the weekend

he had an actual unemployed person on his panel Saturday, and did an in-depth show on the heat wave Sunday, had the author of a book on the 1995 heat wave in Chicago which killed an incredible 700+ people.

Also on Saturday was the "Epic nerd fight" over LIBOR. Did any of the other Sunday shows discuss LIBOR?

Up with Chris Hayes Panel Erupts In Epic LIBOR Nerdfight]

Let’s face it, pretty much any argument on MSNBC’s Up with Chris Hayes can be called a nerdfight, but on Saturday morning’s show, host Chris Hayes and panel engaged in an exceptional example revolving around a big Mitt Romney fundraising bundler, and something called LIBOR. Like an episode of Star Trek dubbed in Esperanto, the segment was hard to understand, but still entertaining.

The whole thing has to do with Bob Diamond (I love on-the-nose names like that, or Storm Field), a Mitt Romney bundler who recently resigned from Barclay’s because it was learned that the bank was rigging LIBOR, which, despite the name, is not a ’50s-era sci-fi robot.

As Hayes explains (after a brief discussion of Carly Rae Jepsen‘s Call Me Maybe), “According to regulators, from 2005 to 2007, and then again during the 2008 financial crisis, traders at Barclays gamed the worldwide financial system by fraudulently manipulating a key global lending rate, the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, known as LIBOR. ”

“The rate has an opaque name, but its function is simple,” he continued. “It’s the interest rate banks charge to lend money to each other. It’s also what the banks use across to world to determine how much interest you should pay for credit cards and student loans. We’re talking about a potentially massive number of loans, owed by ordinary consumers, that may have been affected by the rate rigging. In the state of Ohio, as much as 60% of prime adjustable rate mortgages, and nearly all subprime adjustable rate mortgages, are tied to the rate.”

3. MSNBC is the worst of them all because they lie about who they are.

I am sure the hosts think they're doing the right thing, but management has them leashed. So long as that's understood, then what they show is at least left sounding.

2. It's amazing to me Republicans call that the liberal media

yet when you tell them anything the liberal media didn't tell them, they will not believe you and launch into denial.


They are lying on our public airwaves to make money for themselves
This is in violation of their FCC license which states they will serve the public interest on our public airwaves.
I think they need to be held accountable in order to save our democracy.
