She's talking about having watched the convention just like we all did, then watching the corporate press corps "analyze" the events of the night and having the total "Whaaaa?" reaction to their commentary.

Like were they in the same frickin' building? Are they deaf, blind, or just stupid?

They are trying to keep their cushy jobs at the expense of the people. Its the Busharian way.

Failure of the media is one of the biggest reasons I have so much confidence in my prediction:

The former US will consist of at least three separate countries by 2010.

My stream is not working, WTF? Does Nova know this? I've tried to stream through the Denver affiliatte, too. This is weird, it's never happened before, anyone else having probs?

Use the Los Angeles affiliate KTLK

Or the Florida affiliate WJNO

The Phoenix feed seems to be working fine for me.

Thanks peeps, I got it now, but I missed the first half hour, the nova stream was just playing a Malloy commercial and then it would stop, so I tried going back to the main site and it worked. It's all good, I get very ornery when I can't hear she who must be heard can't be heard.

I agree with OP.

I did hear Mike Barnicle talking to Brian Williams today (MSNBC) about how the media is, and they can't sit still if they don't have a dust-up to talk about.

Now Fixed New is a whole other world, running tape of anarchists.

Two best quotes so far?

Randi: "The vets on the floor are better prepared than the frickin' press corps!"

Randi: "We got Walmarts closer than VA's!"

They HAD to. They were the nimnullish leptons who decided to hang their Hot Klieg lights just a bit too close to the sprinklers and their whole broadcast booth got flooded out last night. That's what happens when you give Luddites technology.

But it's more than that. Not only are the regular pundits going on a desperate bashing fest, but look who they lined up as guests and guest commentators! ALL hardcore righties!

They had so many members of the Reagan Administration on one panel last night, the could have held a frickin' 80's reunion! "Mr. Morals" Gamblin' Bill Bennett, David Gergen (served Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush Sr.), and Ed Rollins (Reagan's campaign director in '84, Huckabee's campaign manager, who also worked to try elect Katherine Harris to Senate) all on the SAME PANEL. And that was BEFORE Larry King's all Republican review of the night's Democratic Convention, and McCain's jaunt on Leno, or continuing "insight" from famed homophobe, Pat Buchanon.

It's not just biased, it's fucking blatant.

I agree. The United States will literally be torn apart if the insane geezer buys the job. I have already heard serious discussion of The Eastern Union, consisting of: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Northern Maryland and Eastern Pennsylvania.

I am becoming more convinced that McCain's base (ignorant, racist, rural trailer park trash) have no right to inflict their 1952 mentality or lunatic cult religions on me.
