Media Coverage @ MindSay

I had the extreme displeasure of watching the shreds of ABC's momentous "debate" and "coverage" in the wee hours today, and I was a bit put out.

For reference, go watch these:

• Clip 1
• Clip 2
• Clip 3

Now, I dislike Obama.  I disagree with Obama.  I think he will be bad for the country.  He is a neofascist of sorts, and a misguided populist socialist at best.  All that having been said, WTF, ABC?!  This isn't news, it's pap and smear.  This is what passes for coverage in this day and age?

Now, in all fairness, I don't watch TV news anymore for five reasons:

1. CNN
2. FOX
3. ABC
4. CBS
5. NBC

If I need to watch something government-related, it's CSpan, and I make up my own damn mind.  This travesty that ABC pulled wasn't coverage, and it wasn't a debate.  It was nothing less than a full-court press for Hillary.  The coverage got even sadder watching ABC scramble to pull a giant CYA, and they actually relished that which should send them to the corner in shame.

Were the "moderators" running for president?  There was no excuse for this, and it was far worse than I was originally led to believe.  It's like the 1990's Clinton spin machine is firing on all cylinders.  Wake up, PA.

NBC can't crash tech Chevy pick-ups.  CBS can't avoid forged memos, and now ABC can't even run a DEBATE?  Really?  I'd be impressed by the level of incompetence, except that I can tell this was a Clinton Spin Machine inside job, and Obama walked right into it.  Where did the anchors get hired from?  I've heard better lies on a used-car lot.  It's obvious that the big 3 aren't even trying anymore.

If it wasn't for T&A and idiot viewers, I guess there would be no more network news.  As for me, I wouldn't miss it.  Let dead tree and TV mediums die, and let us be rid of them.  A pox on them all.  If we continue to make decisions based on this sort of thing, we are well and truly screwed. 

I'm not an Obama fan, and I can't say that enough, but I haven't seen someone trashed in such a dirty fashion by this Clinton outfit since Paula Jones.  They even brought in George Stephanopolous back for a nostalgic touch. It was like a video version of the GOP smears on Ron Paul.  Shame on you, HillBillary, for dragging us down into the swamp again.

Look at that low playing! Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed...

It is amazing to me at least (or amusing, take your pick) that the media of this country is so blatantly one-sided that it borders on propaganda...

Take for instance the two leading (at least in the eyes of the media) candidates for the office of the president. One would swear that there were only two candidates for the office. What of the other folks who have at least expressed interesting in running? Why don't they receive the coverage that the two anointed ones receive? It appears at least to me that the media has already decided for the American people who will be best as Commander-in-Chief of this land without bothering to ask the people what their opinion is...

Which brings my brain to the Pittsburgh Penguins. As some of you know the Pens are my favourite sporting team. All one hears from the media is how good the offer is from the state and the city, but deep down I have the feeling that the only reason why the latest offer is being proclaimed as the greatest of all time is to detract from the reason why it is the company that received the slot license actually received the license in the first place - waggin' the dog in the 'Burgh. Why would any city turn down an offer to build a multi-function facility in the city free of taxpayer dollars? Maybe it is have control of the facility for that is the reason why we have government - to take control of our lives so that we don't have to...

And this brings my brain around to the Iraq war. I have friends in the military or were in the military, and they paint a different picture than the one the media presents. All we see is the body counts, and yet there is more to the story than how many died on a given day. If the media we have now had been active during World War II, we would quit long before it was over. If it hadn't ended sooner, the fighting on D-Day would've been the end of it and we could've left France in German hands though this may not have been a bad thing. In the Pacific, Midway would've ended the conflict and we could've been done with the entire mess...

As I have stated a bazillion times before, I really should stop watching the news for it is no good for my soul. It is especially bad for someone for someone who questions the motives of all the crap he is fed...

Way back in the past, a generation in the country stated that one should never trust anyone over 35. They were absolutely correct though they are now the people over 35 and they expect everyone to believe what they have to say...

This is the Word of the AntiCrust...

Praise be ye who Read the Word...
