Its 1:05 PM CST..and not one word on the CNN site about Cantor walking out of talks

[Peacetrain]

I spent well over an hour bouncing between CNN and MSNBC and caught a minutiae of comments about Cantor walking out of the Budget talks.

Walking out, to leave this country bankrupt and losing bond ratings which will mean more of our budget will have to go to pay the interest.. further cutting programs.

And not one word on the CNN site.

But I must have heard 20 minutes on Casey Anthony and another 20 minutes on what some jail bound celebrity was going to wear to court.

I know this is my second op on this subject..but this is the plan.. this is what we are fighting.

The right can do anything to undermine any attempt we have at job creation etc..and nothing is said..but Anthony Wiener shows his and it was 2 damn weeks of wall to wall wailing.

1. This is what people need to remember: the MSM is GOP-FRIENDLY

They are not going to lift a finger to report on news that makes the GOP look bad, especially when election season is approaching.

2. Cake, I checked out for almost two hours eating lunch and flipping channels

to see how this was covered.

No wonder so many people are uninformed.

But Lindsey Lohan looked really cute walking into court.. :crazy:

8. Of course people are uninformed. The goal of most of the cable news channels

is to fill air-time without informing the public. I call it "News to Keep You Stupid".

3. It is now 2:03 CST still nothing on the CNN site.

4. Time of war ... Troops in the field ...

all of that went out the door in January of 2009 ...

People want to put this kind of stuff on the dems. Yeah, they can be feckless as all get out. But, the corporate media, there is NO way to make up for the way the game is rigged.

None ...

5. MSM whore "news" coverage is all about ratings. It's on NYT front page, though.

If it were Steny Hoyer or James Clyburn acting like this under Bush II, there'd be non-stop coverage and outraged clucking all around.
