Comment on "Mainstream Media" coverage of E.M. Kennedy
2009-08-27 | Mike Acker

a man who is an habitual drunk is not going to contribue much to society. nonetheless our "mainstream media" is fawning over the loss of "the greatest ever senator"

this reflects rather badly on the "mainstream media". not that any of us here would be at all surprised at that but worth a comment anyway


TOPICS: Society
KEYWORDS: kennedy; mainstream; media

Liberal ideology trumps character. I honestly think that they would still celebrate a liberal politician who was a drunk, killed someone, used the KGB to undermine a President, lied, .....come to think of it......

I have yet to see any "mainstream media" coverage of Toady Kennedy's death. I didn't watch any cable at all Tuesday. Last night I was watching either O'Reilly of Hannity for a bit, and when they were just about to mention it -- I switched over to the ballgame. I intend to keep it that way.

I don't HAVE to listen to that crap and I don't intend to.

If Kennedy was our best Senator then we need to recall the rest of the worthless Pr***s.

I think it may convince some more Americans that the mainstream media lives in a different World from them. Aside from Democratic partisans, I don’t believe most people care about Teddy Kennedy.

Last night Ken Burns put Ted Kennedy and Daniel Webster on the top shelf. A case of East Coast bias to the core- Daniel Webster must take a back seat to Henry Clay. I guess puttting a Kentuckian from the heartland over a New Englander was too much for the film maker.

I never thought I’d say this, but I’d rather listen to the Michael Jackson coverage. At least he made some good music before he went wacko.
