[Tx4obama]

With the biggest story of the past 24 hours undeniably being the sparks flying at last night’s CNN/Tea Party debate, Jon Stewart gave the event his Top Story treatment, spanning the ridiculously long introductions, the team attack on Rick Perry, and the strange case of the audience cheering for the death of the uninsured.

3. CNN Panders to the Tea Party

CNN Panders to the Tea Party

By Robert Parry

CNN, which likes to boast that it’s America’s non-ideological cable news network, revealed in its Republican presidential debate collaboration with the Tea Party Express the hidden political reality behind “centrist” journalism – a never-ending pandering to the Right.

The basic truth about mainstream journalism is that the careerists who dominate the national news media are keenly attuned to where the worst career dangers lie and steer away accordingly. And, by far, the biggest risk to a journalist’s career is to be deemed “liberal” by the Right’s powerful attack machine.

So, while CNN would surely recoil from a suggestion that it co-sponsor a Democratic debate with, say, Moveon.org, the “No Bias, No Bull” network saw no problem in associating its journalistic credibility with the far-right Tea Party.

Similar tendencies in the U.S. news media can be noted in everything from the endless fawning over Ronald Reagan’s glorious legacy to the reliably pro-war tilt of most key news outlets, as underscored in an article on Sunday by the New York Times former executive editor Bill Keller.

5. Like it or not, it's the corporate point of view

Which is right wing. They may say publicly that they don't have any "bias", but they're corporate owned. That's a bias.

7. Think it's progressing rapidly ... same people and corporations who gave us

Hitler/Nazis and that engineered depression which had an international effect --

have control of our corporate-media --

and US Congress "is controlled by the oil and coal industries" per Al Gore/Rolling Stone


Pretty clear -- !!

8. I did not realize The Debate was actually a CNN comedy show.

Did not watch it.
From what I could see on the clip, the pilot episode was pretty funny tho.
It is a weekly series now?
Gotta give Perry credit for such a good Ray Gun impersonation.
