If you saw Glenn Beck today, you would know that he was livid over the lack of attention that the MSM has paid to the ACORN revelations recently over at Big Government. Heput up a chart of the major media including the three networks, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post and their coverage of the undercover video. Among all of these media, CNN lead the pack with a total number of mentions of three.

I have to agree. I don’t know why Glen is so surprised. The msm is in total cover up mode for Obama and the dimoKKRATS.

As Limbaugh said the other day... to hope that the msm will change their ways is futile...

Looks like they were all caught with their pants down again. Another major story develops right in front of their eyes and breaks without them.

FOX should change their motto.

“We report because they don’t want to.”

A Lib “friend” of mine accused us Conservatives being overly fond of Fox News. “Yeah”, I said, “and you have the rest of the stations”.

As was taught in class from Professor Limbaugh, the ‘MSM’ (main stream media) is now to be referred to as the ‘SRM’ (state run media).

And the ‘SRM’ is most definitely on the other (anti-American) side!

-"CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post"

There is absolutely nothing 'mainstream' concerning these news mediums.

They should be brought down because they are nothing more than an IDEOLOGICAL PROPAGANDIST medium for the government! No different than "Pravda" (Soviet Union), "The People's Daily" (China), "Granma" (Cuba).

Well, two kids got the story that the entire Stone Age Press couldn’t. Pretty much shows that we don’t need them anymore.

Pray for the March on DC

Fox and the conservative alternative media are serving up some tasty dishes. The MSM have all gathered around carrion.

MSM - MIA

The entire MSM was just upstaged by a couple of college age kids.

How stupid do they look right now?

Instead of investigating ACORN, the MSM is investigating people like Joe the Plumber.

CNN (Blitzer) did spend some time on the ACORN videos today. However, at this point, its just a reaction to Fox News cleaning their clock in the ratings.

If the GOP had any gonads they would confront the SRM reporters EVERY time they encounter them and don’t let up and ask them when they are going to start covering the corruption in the administration and democrat party

They have nothing to lose as they are already demonized by the SRM
