e-mail I sent to MSNBC, after listening to all the "press piranhas" circling for carrion on Obama:
Question for Gregory: Where were you and the rest of the press with tough questions for Bush? Bush has been the most corrupt and dangerous president in US history, and Gregory, as part of the White House correspondents did nothing but dance with Karl Rove.

The same goes for the rest of the "press". And now you want to taint Obama where there is no sign of dirty dealings AT ALL???? You have a lot of gall.

1. This is the thing that disgusts me the most
They are manufacturing a scandal for Obama, yet they were silent during the illegal war & subsequent war crimes, torture, renditions, & the blatant disregard of the Constitutional and our rights.

:argh:

2. Any group who would sit and laugh at this--


--is the most despicable collection of losers on Earth.

As I've said often, "When Bush pulled this stunt, every self-respecting journalist got up and walked out..."

3. I was thinking about that yesterday. Obama is always held
responsible for the actions of OTHERS, while others don't even have to take responsibility (and are not held accountable) for their OWN actions. Talk about f*cked up double standards! :mad:

5. Thanks, LittleApple. We need to keep
right after the so called press/corporatemedia just like we did in the primaries and the general election.

What they need is reform..where are they with Don Siegelman going to jail under false pretenses?

8. You hit it right on the nose...
This is what I scream at every tv moderator,pundit,columnist and other talking heads. Right now they know that Bush is not doing anything as the country is spiraling to who knows where and they are busy trying blame Obama for it even though he hasn't even been sworn in yet. We can already see what he will be in for and he needs us to counteract this bullshit. Everytime I try to email these stations something always goes wrong with the transaction so I email congressmen, women and the senators.

If they want to try to link Obama with every so called vicious or dirty person we should start making our lists of the insane nuts that associate with Bush,Cheney, McCain and the rest of these nutty ass fruitcakes who are running the country..For these people who continue to keep on their blinders and make excuse for bush and the rest of the crew the only conclusion I can come up with is that they are INSANE!

9. Funny that they now have all kinds of probing questions

They protected Bush the entire time he was in office.

Guess they didn't see the need to ask a dummy questions ~ :puke:
on all of them.

I am grateful that there will no longer be a Dummy in the WH.

10. why can't we question the msm publiclly?
as on, on tv or youtube?

I'd really like to ask our fourth estate some questions.

why no reporting on bush's looting our environment during our last election? why did they never question bush, sold us an illegal war, but now want to flex their muscles and act like they have courage and integrity by questioning -- no, smearing in advance of the evidence-- our POTUS elect.

Do they really think we are that stupid?

If it wasn't for KO and RM I wouldn't even bother watching the poison box. And I work in this industry. What a joke.

Perfect.

One day of legitimate tough questions would have landed Bush at the Hague.
