In an interview with Politico, Senator Harry Reid argued that the media is being unfair to Democrats in its coverage of the shutdown. Reid said he believes that there is no way someone viewing the situation objectively could conclude that Democrats are at fault for the shutdown.
You and other journalists have a real shortcoming in that you are trying so hard to be fair that you are unfair, Reid said. Democrats have had almost nothing to do with the problems here. Its all Republicans.
The shutdown of about 15 percent of government activity began last Tuesday. Since then, Reid has led a unified Democratic caucus in the Senate against any compromise bills passed by the House, much to the frustration of House Republicans. Reid has even turned down meeting with Republicans to discuss a compromise.
Media Research Center, a conservative media-watchdog group, found that in 39 stories in the two weeks leading to the shutdown, CBS, ABC, and NBC blamed Republicans 21 times for failing to reach a budget agreement, both parties four times, and didnt once blame the Democrats. In the 14 other instances, the reports blamed nobody.
BwaHaHaHaHaHaHa !
If Letterman hadn’t just signed a new contract I’d have thought the comedian Dingy Harry was after his job.
I sat next to Harry Reid this morning! I had to go to the bathroom, and, believe it or don’t, Harry was in the next stall! Do you know he talks when he’s on the pot? Here’s a little of what Harry Reid said while he was sitting on the toilet.
“Look at the shine on those shoes. Pathetic. You think you’ve finally found a job that Al Franken can handle, but no, he can’t even shine a shoe. How can the people of Minnesota send a man to the United States Senate who doesn’t know the difference between a can of breath mints and a can of shoe polish? Every morning, there he is in the cloakroom, big tears rolling down his cheeks trying desperately to shine a shoe with a white breath mint. And he thinks the shoe Polish gives him fresh breath. The Republicans are starting to say he eats crap sandwiches. Well, he does, but that brown tongue is from shoe polish.”
He’s preaching to the choir. The GOP and Tea Party, and consevatives have had their heads slammed against the wall for the past 5 years by the MSM as they painted a vision of what the future utopian version of socialism would look like while continuously lying to the American people about what Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood were up to and omitting any news stories that would reflect badly on thm. Well guess what, Harry? The MSM are whores. They report what gets them the most ratings and right now 0’bummers not the rock star he usec to be and The Republicans have been shining their flashlights and exposing him for the vile creature he really is. Of course that could all change if his horns start popping out of his head and he declares martial law. Then the press he gets definitely wont be good except to Satanists, liberals, and our enemies (wait both are the same thing)
He is correct in his statement. The media is unfair to the RATS - they never fairly cover the story that makes the RATS look bad.
Is this a Semmens piece??
Their internals must really, really stink now.
Harry Reid continued talking from the bathroom stall.
“Boomboomsheboom deboom boom!
I’m a real rapper when I’m sitting on the crapper!
Boomshankalanka boom boom!
I can really sing when I’m playin’ with my thing!
Boom boom de boom boom!”
“A grey sock and a green sock? Huh. I got another pair just like this at home.”
Sheese! LOL!!
Even more from Harry Reid in the stall.
“Dang it! I peed on my tie again. This is a two hundred dollar tie. Now what am I gonna do with it? Looks like Obama gets another tie for Christmas.”
“When did they start putting the tags on the front of underwear? Oh, I’ve got my underwear on backwards. Just another job Al Franken can’t do right.”
“One sheet of toilet paper? Who leaves one sheet of toilet paper on a roll? Well, I mean besides Nancy Pelosi. She thinks using the last sheet is bad luck or something. We don’t call her ‘Old Crusty’ for nothing.”
Harry Reid’s final comment from the stall.
“Look at that? Why that one looks just like Bill Maher. Everybody says Bill Maher’s face looks like s**t, and by golly, they’re right!”
If Obamacare is the law of the land then all laws are the law of the land and congress should not be allowed to change any law. Therefore we should also shut down the house and senate.
Surely this is from the Onion, no?
Love to start a Monday by ROFLMFAO!!
Message to the propaganda organs: “Toe the Party Line, comrades.”
And the media will crawl on their bellies and confess their ideological impurity.
Absolute proof that Harry Reid is senile and in the early stages of dementia.
So, in a sense he does not intend, Ol' Harry is correct: The media is very unfair to Democrats. If they were fair, there wouldn't ever be a Democrat in office, anywhere, ever again.
