Take your fucking "infomercial" and shove it up your ass!

[11 Bravo]

MSNBC, CNN, FoxNoise, and others are referring to this evening's address as an "infomercial". An infomercial tries to sell you a fucking kitchen gadget! This is the next President of the United States speaking to the citizens whom he will govern both wisely and well. Take that "infomercial" bullshit, fold it 5 ways, and stick it where the sun don't shine!

He is, after all, being hired complete with resume by the American people to do a job

4. I sold broadcast media for over twenty years and a :30 mintue block of time is

often refered to as a infomercial... They are correct in calling it this.

5. Just sour grapes

I imagine the mainstream media is just overwhelmed with the loss of power they're experiencing, first with Internet sites coming up that are better at spreading a wider variety of news and opinion and now with a candidate who can raise so much money that he can go right around them to speak directly to the people. It was a wonderful way for Obama to let people know who he is and what he plans for the country, unfiltered by the talking heads with all their built-in biases.
