one from C-Span who chose to provide live coverage of this rally on Saturday, Labor Day Weekend....





and one NOT from C-Span, who chose NOT to cover this Rally of the President speaking to Labor on Monday, Labor day.

1. Inexcusable behavior by CSPAN. Oh that durned librul media.

[shraby]

2. The first one of the tparty people seems to be comprised of

the lower socio-economic group of people..ones who really don't need the philosophy that's being espoused.

[Worried senior]

20. I'm also in the lower socio-economic group

but I am a progressive.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. That is disgusting.

Shame on them.

I mean, really.

[sufrommich]

4. Amazing isn't it ? nt

[FrenchieCat]

5. Not so much.....

and get used to it.

Media wants a close race, and they will get it,
by hook or by crooks.

6. As if DU does any better than 'the media'

Look at that Labor crowd there, and read the misinformation plastered all over DU since Trumka's speech. Claims that Unions were planning on supporting Republicans, Third Party people all sorts of convoluted twistings of what was actually said. And look at that crowd. Do they LOOK like they intend to vote for some Republican? No, they do not. And no one, save for the DU hyperbole panic squad, ever said we were. But plenty of them said it again and again and again. Like all the young dudes say, who needs TV when you got DU?

8. Good on you!

I agree with what you say.....
and I appreciate you linking to my post where I provide factual information with links,
that apparently so many on DU had no idea about....since they simply
stay in their little "Obama has done nothing, and he's weak" bubble,
while posting one liner drive byes more often than not.


In fact, in that OP, I was questioning (see the question marks?)
another OP, in GD with 128 recommends - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1878210&mesg_id=1878210

which simply regurgitated a negative Huffpo article without comments.

When I saw that this OP were getting the kind of attention from the
"me too" folks, I figured it was time for some official facts so that they could get
informed instead of my having to watch them as the reacted like mindless dittoheads.

I'm glad some may have read what I posted,
although I know better that most didn't,
cause they simply would prefer to make snarky comments,
then to actually read and acknowledge anything positive,
except for maybe a few.

10. But you were posting, as were many others stuff like this

"This is kind of like Unions doing what's against their best interest....
something we accuse GOP morans of doing."

In that thread. If you knew, as I did, that today's Labor Rally was already set, why post such things? Unions = GOP morans is not a pro-Union message, and it does not indicate that you understood the misinformation, it reads as if you are promoting the misinformation. If you agree with what I just posted, you need to rethink the way you phrase things.
Pretty big to-do the Unions tossed today, for people doing that which is against their own best interests and all, as some were saying, again and again and again.

[FrenchieCat]

12. So you would choose to question me for being pissed

that uninformed folks at DU
would give an OP discussing Obama losing Union support
128 recommendation, and you're aren't questioning them? :wtf:

But at least, I see where your priorities are,
and so I Thank you very much for that.
I always kind of knew, but now, I'm more than sure.

& rec. :dem:

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. Ain't that a kick in the head?

NPR's on board too. It's all Tea Party, all the time. :puke:

[Cali_Democrat]

16. Yup. The Obama Administration needs to call CSPAN out for this

It's inexcusable.

[FrenchieCat]

18. I'm calling them out.....

Perhaps you can help on that.

[Raine1967]

14. Seriously? I wasn't watching much TV this morning.

I actually watched most of his speach on MSNBC as I was looking for news about Austin and the fires, So I stayed there.

Is this REALLY true? REALLY?

My stomach is a little sick.

[FrenchieCat]

15. Yep.....

it is true.

[CakeGrrl]

17. I watched live on C-SPAN this morning, Frenchie...do you mean CNN?

THAT I'd believe.

[Inuca]

19. I watched it on CNN

they had it live. They also had Palin live an hour or so early, I assume the whole so called speach, though I could only stomach 5 or 10 minutes before starting to feel very close to literally sick. That woman is an abomination.

[Supersedeas]

21. CSPAN has made their priorities pretty clear--the distinction could not be more stark
