NBC "News" Kelly O'Donnell just reported that the HCR bill will cost 900 Trillion over 10 years.

[AlinPA]

It is 900 Billion. What a goddam lie. It was on the screen and she stated it.

[FrenchieCat]

1. Got to keep her health Care paid for by GE!

[peggygirl]

48. Precisely the magnitude of exxageration by the GOP against HCR. nt

[Cirque du So-What]

2. Sure that's not 'billion?'

Not trillion or million?

[AlinPA]

3. billion.

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Nice save

These little freudian slips - which I believe are done quite intentionally - have become another tool that the corporate media use to pull the wool over the eyes of low-info viewers.

[AlinPA]

7. My initial "million" is embarrassing in this post!

[Cirque du So-What]

9. Fuhgeddaboudit!

Who can be expected to keep up with the lies of the corporate media and pass along their multitude of lies without slipping up on occasion?

[trapper914]

4. She said Trillion..

...and it was supported with a graphic that read 900 Trillion.

[TransitJohn]

6. Haha..she doesn't know what a quadrillion is.

Come to think of it, at what point to these phantom sums of cash that would be volumetrically bigger than planet Earth really mean, anyway?

[wryter2000]

16. She probably doesn't even know what a Brazilian is. n/t

n/t

[SusanaMontana41]

35. But we know

someone who does. heh.

[formercia]

49. The Duct Tape sucked out her brains.

Wax just didn't have the grip.

[bluestateguy]

8. Does that much money even exist?

[timeforpeace]

10. Ouch. First impressions and all. Hope nobody watches NBC.

[flpoljunkie]

12. They had a chart which read $900 Trillion, as well! It has still not been corrected! Astounding!

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

22. That's good stuff right there.

[Cha]

33. Why would they correct it if nobody calls them

on it? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29104230/ Contact for Nightly News..if someone has a better way please let us know.

[trapper914]

13. Still waiting on a correction

[Supersedeas]

39. Don't hold your breath -- Kelley O' was part of McCain 'approved' Press entourage

[Lisburn]

15. No problem

No one watches NBC ........ look at the ratings.

[flpoljunkie]

19. They are number one for evening news, though.

[Phx_Dem]

11. Reponsible journalism at work! Norah O'Donnell I like. Kelly O'D is a ass

who can't keep her opinions out of her reporting.

[flpoljunkie]

14. Norah O'Donnell is sharp.

[Phx_Dem]

17. Yep. She was great on Bill Mahr last week.

She said about the military tribunals vs. criminal courts, "Of the 3 terrorists tried in military courts, 2 were sent back to their native lands." Nice.

[trapper914]

18. I'm sure John McCain will issue a correction...

...when he's on Meet The Press Sunday....AGAIN!

[customerserviceguy]

20. Yep, I saw it too

It was scary to look at, and no doubt that graphic will be appropriated by all the wrong people...

[SlackWillie]

21. Pretty expensive program if so. Reckon all the GDP's of all the countries ever existed would have a

tough time paying that tab.

[HughMoran]

23. Fortunately, most Americans don't know the difference

:rofl:

[SlackWillie]

25. Most Americans couldn't figure out what 900 trillion divided by 10 was much less know the difference

between a trillion and a quadrillion, imvho.

[HughMoran]

26. ...or a brazillion

:rofl:

[discopants]

24. Oh, cut her some slack ...

she's only off by $899,100,000,000,000. (899 trillion, 100 billion)

[Bitwit1234]

27. Shouldn't news companies held libel for the lies they tell

how come they are allowed to get away with it. And if the post a correction it is a blip and nobody hears it.

[SlackWillie]

29. Do you think the average American knows or cares about the difference between 900 trillion or 900

billion? Do you think Joe the Plumber does? Do you think Nancy Pelosi does?

[AlinPA]

31. The average American may be too stupid to know the difference, especially teabaggers. nt

[SlackWillie]

34. Ignorant, not stupid, imo Alin. If I had to pick 1 group today to label stupid, it'd likely be those

that only see their party as "right" on all issues, regardless of the end result.

[AlinPA]

40. When it comes to teabaggers, it's outright stupidity. nt

[SlackWillie]

41. I know more than a few, Alin. and they are far from stupid. When I see threads like yours, however,

can see the stupidity gene leaking DNA all over the screen. Good luck with that, fwiw.

[AlinPA]

43. I've seen a lot of them around here and know some. Their racist "jokes" show them for what they

are.

[SlackWillie]

45. Interesting drift there, Alin. Typical can't answer, so shift to drift. Speaker Pelosi just stated

today, 2/28, on "This Week" that "...we share some of the views of the tea party..." which means that some of your views are stupid, too?

[AlinPA]

46. Teabaggers were upset from day one about Obama being elected. "He's a muslim", "He wasn't born in

the U.S. ", "We want our country back" (just 2 weeks after the inauguration), "He's a terrorist (at Palin rallies)", and all the jokes about his being black, calendars from the GOP showing him in blackface, watermelon patches at the White House, on and on... That's not racist? You can defend that teabagger stuff all you want, but it's ugly and the people doing it are stupid. I know some of them.

[SlackWillie]

47. Once again, calm down Alin. Take your meds today? There may well have been some real angst as you

described post-election. The Clinton campaign had the same or similar issues pre-election, raising questions about then Senator Obama's birth, religion, middle name and of all things, his "slave owing" great-grandparents. Want to chat about and contrast all of the issues, real and imagined, raised about President Bush? What was it Rep. McKinney said? That W. knew about the 9/11 attack in advance and did NOTHING so the price of oil would go up? And this was a sitting Congressman. So the teabaggers have the "stupidity" market cornered IYO? LMFAO!

[OhioBlue]

36. yes. n/t

[TankLV]

42. Well - we know YOU TEABAGGERS are dumber than shit...

and stink up the place more...!

That Nancy Pelosi know WAY more - I'll bet you my ENTIRE SALARY and ALL EARTLY BELONGINGS.

that you and your fellow dumbshit troll teabaggers don't - I'll also bet that!!!

enjoy your dirtnap...

[wisteria]

28. Call them out on this. They will continue to do these things against passing HCR

if we continue to allow them and the Republicans to frame this issue. We have a chance now to change to direction of the talking points.

[SlackWillie]

30. With majorities in both houses of Congress, just pass it. What's the media going to say? They can

count also.

[Cha]

32. Here's Nightly News Contact-NBC..

37. Enthusiasm exceeding ability. Just like Bu**sh**'s off-the-cuff gaffes. nt

[Supersedeas]

51. leaving the public in Corporate Darkness is the common denominator

38. Well how the heck does it work for France!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

44. Kick.

[donco6]

50. They better get to printin' some bills, fast.

There's not enough paper in the world to make up that many notes.
