Why is MSNBC covering tea party rally 24-7 but only bothered to look in on National Action Network's
event today when Ed Shulz was speaking - and then only for about 10 seconds?

Just wondering . . .

8. Affiliate with the Beer Party and Orgy Party and then they will cover it!

4. When NAN starts headlining batshit crazy stupid speakers, the MSM will cover it.

The media thrives on GOP freakshows and the Obamas. Ratings spike in both cases and MSM coverage reflects it.

5. Bill O'Reilly spoke. Michael Steele will speak.
But I guess the fact that the people at the NAN conference are there to listen and learn makes this all much less interesting to the media.

6. True, the other half of the equation has to be there, too = batshit crazy stupid audience.
Let's face it, Democrats are too intelligent and sane to be good political fodder for a MSM freakshow.

7. Because negative publicity keeps the focus off the good news!
That is what MSNBC does way too much of. Limbaugh could eat six pounds of horse manure and they will waste half an hour saying how eating horse manure is not good for your health. Meanwhile a lot of promising pieces of news are pushed aside.

So if Limbaugh farts and O'Reilly pisses do we need to keep hearing that each day? Haven't they been shown to be assholes unworthy of detailed analysis? Just link us to a website so we can battle them and their minions. Meanwhile let the people hear the good news too!
