Has anyone else noticed how the MSM is working overtime to downplay all the scandals in the Democrat party lately? You have Blumenthal lying about his military service, but apparently nobody cares. You have an illegal bribe from the white house and a confession, but still the media runs distraction. Then on top of all that Obama has not taken a leadership roll in the oil spill and yet he still gets a pass! At what point do people realize that we basically have state run propaganda for media now? Are you all starting to see that Bush wasn't near as bad as the media made him out to be? If a Republican had lied about his military service, do you think the media would have given him a pass? Do you think they would be content to ignore a bribe scandal from the white house?
He's going to get jumped by a bunch of hoods after his term ends I bet. (Obama lol) But you're right, I occasionally flip through this crap and FOX is really the only legitimate one. Even if slightly. I don't watch any MSM news networks. It's very clear that Obama was elected because of the power of the press; that's why if you spread lies on national TV while protected under the 1st Ammendment you should be indicted or something.
From this morning: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv7I1uhz1RA]YouTube - 'Press Wouldn't Cover Sestak Story If Rahm Announced It On Pennsylvania Ave. In A Speedo'[/ame] Don't you love how they report on the fact they are running cover?
But, the fact that it is SO obviously a big farking joke that I just can't help but laugh in the faces of people who voted for Obama.
From what i can see there is no excuse for what Blumenthal did.. He comes out of this looking like a pussy.. Its an insult to all those who served in Vietnam.. Even though i think the US should never have been involved in that war you have to have respect for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country and those who served in Vietnam.. The Sestak "job offer" is something that goes on the whole time in Washington.. There are allegations that Sen. S.I. Hayakawa spurned a Reagan administration suggestion that if he dropped out of the crowded Republican Senate primary race in California in the early 80's, that President Reagan would find a job for him.. Reps and Dems are both the same.. Full of sleaze and corruption..
My father is a Vietnam vet, as is my grandfather on my mom's side; Blumenthal should get beaten like Neil Armstrong did to that reporter. What a schmuck. People should really be held accountable for what they say on TV. I believe George Orwell's allusion in 1984 with those TV screens in everyone's home is a precursor to what is happening now, in a sense.
Yet, the entire MSM (Fox excluded) has been openly supporting him. No, it doesn't. I need to find the law, but it seems they really did break a law. You cant seriously believe there would be no investigation had this happened under Bush. At the very least, the media would be going nuts over it.
That's sad that they just openly talk about how the press refuses to cover it. Why do people trust the media?
Maybe I'm reading it wrong but isn't he saying that this type of behavior is just typical of D.C.? Not that it isn't wrong or illegal but that it's just normal to have this happen - no one is saying anything about punishment or crimes being committed, just that it's typical politics. And these types of things did happen to Bush and you're right the media went berzerk . . . probably because he fired all those attorneys so they wouldn't come after his ass.
No, thats what the Democrats/Obama shills are saying. The rest of us want an investigation. You know, like the 50 or so investigations Democrats started under Bush? Clinton fired a lot more than Bush with absolutely no media outrage.
