2 days 2 months 2 years

Post by _subgenius »

So, considering that in the past 2 days we have heard more form the press and the white house over the Petraeus sex-affair than we have over the past 2 months over Benghazi and over the past two years over Fast and Furious....can any democrat, or Obama supporter, claim that this President is anything more than style over substance? and that the media echoes that?

So you're upset that the legitimate media doesn't follow in lock-step with the Right Wing media/entertainment/conspiracy industry?

Got it.

When will you guys accept the fact that the rest of us don't live inside your little bubble?

I think the problem is that the Left-Wing media is in lockstep with the Obama administration.

can any democrat, or Obama supporter, claim that this President is anything more than style over substance? and that the media echoes that?


Of course they can't. You just saw one of Obama's biggest supporters above illustrate how unable he was to do so.

It's a sex scandal. What do you expect?

Although I can only imagine what Benghazi and Fast and Furious would have looked like in the media if Bush had been President. He would have been drawn and quartered.

I don't see the connection between the media's obsession with a sex scandal and your belief that Obama is nothing more than style over substance.

Can you please elaborate?

Inflation will eventually hit tin foil too, Kevin. Stock-up while you still can (a year's supply would be nice, to go along with your stash of Che Guavara T-shirts and Bush/Hitler bumper stickers).

Got it.


No, you quite patently do not.

When will you guys accept the fact that the rest of us don't live inside your little bubble?


We've all accepted that long ago. For decades. The Left has long been trying to bring about the dissolution of civilization, and that particular bubble (what's the body count now, Kevin?) will eventually burst and, as the scriptures mention, "great will be the fall of it."

Some of us just don't want to be pulled down by the suction.

The media in this country, left or right, is a capitalistic enterprise, which makes money by selling ads. They will cover the news that bring in viewers. Bengazi and Fast and furious appeal to the right wing nut jobs that tune into fox news, and no one else.

Why do you hate capitalism?

can any democrat, or Obama supporter, claim that this President is anything more than style over substance? and that the media echoes that?
Of course they can't.

This is circular reasoning. You keep following this laughable entertainment industry that you like to call "News," and it doesn't matter how horribly wrong they have shown to been in just about every aspect of their "coverage." Part of the reason they are successful at getting dupes like you to watch them is that they sell this line about how the "elite media" is some massively biased organization that conspires to support Democrats no matter what. And so they present themselves as the saviors for "fair and balance." LOL!

FOX, WND, Brietbart, Heritage and all the loonies on the Right keep coming up with one conspiracy theory after another, and it doesn't matter how many are shown to be false, they keep citing each other as if they are legitimate news agencies, and you just eat it up uncritically. So when the rest of the world, preferring real journalism over your crack-pot fear-mongering syndicates, chooses to leave you to your delusions, you see this as a self fulfilling prophecy that everything FOX said was true. But FOX's talking points are ignored because of some devotion to Democrats. They are ignored because there is a difference between professional journalism, and that crap you keep spewing from the far Right.

Ultimately the only people who keep listening to FOX are the devoted sheep. You stay in your little bubble OK? The rest of us will continue to respect legitimate news agencies who report the facts and actually try to be objective by leaving out political opinion as much as possible. I'm not saying MSNBC falls into that category, but your attack on the "elite media" usually encompasses the BBC, ABC, CBS, etc. All of which are infinitely superior to your little club of pseudo-news outlets.

So who do you think you're kidding? Benghazi has been shown to be a non-issue that stays in the Right Wing media as a huge deal, because they need something to bitch about constantly. They need to reinforce their carefully crafted image of Obama the evil anti-American who sits up all night thinking of ways to kill Americans and bankrupt the economy. Keep up the good work by the way. You're sure to never win another presidential election again.

We have a media biased towards yellow journalism. Cable news is tabloid media.
