The ABSOLUTE proof that we do NOT have a "librul media"

[Horse with no Name]

Look at the news coverage that Blahhhh-kman is getting. For fuck sake, we are even talking about her drug induced stupors. This woman is ALL over the news...and the more she is on the news, well, no publicity is bad publicity.The media has LEGITIMIZED her as a serious candidate.

Yet...Dennis Kucinich. A man that COULD make a difference. A smart man. A good man. He was marginalized and ridiculed at every turn...yet, in all probability, he would have made an excellent POTUS and there wasn't a legitimate reason that he shouldn't have run. Well, other than the fact that he isn't corrupt. That tends to be a problem in the beltway. But, his message was drowned out...and he was treated as a fringe candidate.

FUX news isn't the only one that did this...but make no mistake, the slimedia is calling the shots.

1. You don't think she isn't being "marginalized and ridiculed"?

This has establishment (our Wall Street owners, from both parties) all over it.

They want either Mitt Goodhair1 or Rick Goodhair2 if Obama isn't reelected.

People like Bachmann, Ron Paul, Kucinich - they will never get near the seat. As a liberal, I am grateful about the former 2, but am saddened that there aren't viable alternate parties in this country to at least keep these crooks honest.

2. I enjoy calling them F*x Ewes on FaceBook & elsewhere, because it's a double entendre. nt

3. There are plenty of differences between them

Kucinich is older and has been in politics a lot longer. Right now Bachmann is the flavor of the month in part because she is a new face on the national stage. Kucinich was already a fairly old hat during his recent runs.

Also, Bachmann is a woman. Not that many women have run for president and no woman has ever received the nomination of a major party. That also plays into the level of attention she gets.

Lastly (and this goes for Palin too) there is a huge amount of interest in Bachmann on the left. It's not positive interest, but it's still interest. Just look at the number of threads about her here on any given day. In contrast, the right has never been all that interested in Kucinich. I think it's lost on many people how much the left has fueled the rise of Palin and Bachmann as hot topics in the media.

7. Our Media has a little "bullying component." Kucinich is an easy

target. Other Democrats will not come to his aid.
The Media then know they will not get into trouble
so they pounce hard to make themselves feel "bigger
and better than".
