MSNBC Replays Rubio Water Sip 155 Times in One Day, Far More Than CNN and Fox News Combined
Newsbusters ^ | 2/15/13 | Randy Hall

The liberal hosts on MSNBC just couldn't get enough of watching U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio reach for a glass of water and take a sip during his rebuttal of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, airing the snippet a staggering 155 times during the Wednesday broadcast schedule.

Other cable news networks showed the footage far less often. CNN aired it 34 times, and Fox News Channel played it just 12 times -- all of which took place on “The O’Reilly Factor” and “Hannity” while the hosts discussed the media's obsession with the Florida Republican's “watergate” incident.

MSNBC's total would not have been so overwhelming if the host of “The Rachel Maddow Show” hadn't aired it 101 times, along with a loop of the moment at the bottom of the television screen for more than 13 minutes.

It is that easy.

The left wanted a benevolent dictator and an autocratic class of elites. They have them. Now, listening to local left wing talk radio, they are asking people:”Do you want to give this sort of power to a right wing fascist?”

I do not expect to see a open conservative in any office anywhere by 2020. The media has made every descriptive pertaining to the political right into an epithet. That is why we have RINOS.

Post #15 is exactly correct.

Benghazi was allowed to happen for its PROPAGANDA value and then was actively propagandized. “See what the stupid right wing has done with its stupid film.” Now we even have Doris Kearns Goodwin and Stephen Spielberg butting in with how to “cut off the Republicans” and position them against the weight of the media in the coming battles over budget.

Did they ever show this pic even once? No way.

If I'm thirsty, I take a drink of water. If it's raining, I put up the umbrella and get out of it.

I wonder what the MSM does - if they have to take a crap, would it be better to mess in their drawers than attend to a bodily need? (OWS might have given us a clue).
