If was just a "liberal elite thing", then we would have had Kerry as president. My take is that the medial is blatantly incompetent. Instead of reporting the news, they like to weave stories that fit a predetermined theme. Didn’t the media slobber over Dubya.

It makes us want to wring the necks of those smug idiots who thought their own judegement, based on nothing but tingles up their legs, was better than the judgement of people who actually read things. I get furious. Then, I just calm down and remember to wait quietly and patiently for my "told you so" moment with each and every one of the smug people I know personally.

It pretty much recapped everything that was pointed out and documented on NQ. That he put it in book form now, I can't help wondering at the motive? I would have been more impressed with Goldberg, if as an insider and a Pulitzer winner, he had pointed how to stop the media from being activist instead of doing there job - informing the citizenry. Zeigiler at least called MSNBC and Andrea Mitchel on the carpet for their actions on Morning Joe for their deliberate use of missinformation. Agree with you Tricia

In Bobo's case, his staff goes around asking if anyone wants a house, an increase in welfare checks, etc. to give their stories on camera. I'm waiting for the prez to say (just like Oprah), "and you get a house! and you get a house! and you get a house!"

Almost like Hollywood has possessed them. Nothing is for real, it is all manufactured as photo-op or a sound byte. I am not sure how this will end, but am beginning to think it might not end peacefully, if at all. Everything coming out of the far left is a “production” anymore.

Even though I think they should have voted no, we cannot start thuggery to make people vote a certain way. Maybe in this case I like it, but whatabout another situation.
