My son and I think this is the end of the national news media's reputation. (Not that I've believed anything CBS has said for years!)

Thanks for the ping

Jen

Jen, that would be great, if true. The problem is that the media spin is so well tuned that they may get away with it again. Remember Slick Willie? Slick as snot on a glass doorknob? Sorry for the graphic, but even when we really believed he had his a$$ in a crack "this time" he would manage to get away with it.

Here's the problem as I see it. The constituency of the democrats are the people who are really struggling to keep their lives together. They work hard all day and go home to work hard until bed time. They don't take the time, or have the time, to read the papers. It is easier to listen to the MSM. They are being pounded with spin. The get animated in their discussions about politics but they can't explain why anything they say is right. They just believe it is true because they have heard it from so many places! Spin. spin. spin. Basically not well educated about the issues, they know only that they are at risk if they allow the Republicans to run their lives. They don't realize that their hardships are the direct result of the actions of those they are looking at to save them. They don't know that the success of the democrat machinery depends on keeping the hard working masses uneducated, overworked and pigeon holed.

Pretty pathetic. The National News Media isn't going to go down any time soon, imo. We just have to keep pushing the message and challenging the spin.
