Jonathan Capehart let the mask slip on just how much the MSM is one with Pres. Obama and Democrats at large. Here's the WaPo editorialist on Morning Joe today, discussing the daunting task of selling ObamaCare to a doubting public:
"We've got two problems here. We: I should say the administration or Democrats have two problems."
Sorry, Jonathan. Cat out of bag. Toothpaste out of tube. Bell rung.
Not that we doubted the MSM's identification with PBO and the Dems, but still amusing to have it confirmed in this Freudian-moment manner.
JONATHAN CAPEHART: You know, there are legitimate concerns out there about health insurance reform or health care reform or however we're calling it today. But a lot of this rhetoric: death panels, pulling the plug on grandma, I think is sort of lowering the debate. And we've got two problems here. "We": I should say the administration or Democrats have two problems.

August 14, 2009 - 08:30 ET by compguytracyHe even has a previous journalist in his staff. I wonder who she supported during the race, impartial? i dont think so.

Actually, Obama's Got 22 Former Gerbilists in His Admin, 6 in WH
August 14, 2009 - 14:13 ET by farstar99And if you count the stringers at NBC, ABC, CNN and CBS, plus the in-the-tank WHPC, he's got all of them.
Oops! Tell us something we didn't already know.
August 14, 2009 - 08:23 ET by WorriedIt is fun watching the unraveling of the Barry Obama show.
I'm not sure it's going to be fun down the road but you have take this "ram-it-down-our-throat" approach day by day.

health insurance reform or health care reform or however we're calling it today.
ROFL!
That is also delicious, is it not????
But a lot of this rhetoric: death panels, pulling the plug on grandma, I think is sort of lowering the debate.
Really? Then why did they cave and remove the language?
They have to keep changing names for everything they want
August 14, 2009 - 08:36 ET by Worriedjust like "GLOBAL WARMING" has been replaced with "Climate Change."
The memo must not have gotten out to all those on the Energy Committee like that Debbie Stab-U-Now, D-Michigan, who said "she can feel the global warming."
Maybe some needs to remind her it's summer.
Re naming
August 14, 2009 - 11:03 ET by slickwillie2001Yep; the democratics are actually pretty good at this. They know that 'government healthcare', and 'single-payer' have become radioactive, so they are banning the use of those terms. Look for the always popular 'choice' meme, so people have a 'choice' of a 'public option' vs private. Instead of healthcare reform, they are using health insurance reform. Goebbels could learn a thing or two from the democratics.
They have at least three
August 14, 2009 - 08:35 ET by mattmThey have at least three problems - the two you're talking about and your big mouth. Better lay off the ganja before breakfast there, buddy.
" WHAT WE KIMOSABE?"
August 14, 2009 - 09:25 ET by SgthulkaThis is another Dog-bites-man story about MSNBC.
Why bother? Move on.
Two problems?
August 14, 2009 - 09:28 ET by blazermaniacTrust me, the Democrats have many more that just two problems. And those problems will only magnify, when these Town Halls continue for the rest of August.
Too many to count
August 14, 2009 - 09:48 ET by slickwillie2001This kind of little slip happens every day on all the liberal networks. It's way too hard to pick them all out and preserve them. Many more of them happen during election coverage when emotions overflow and folks are working lots of overtime.
Advertisers Should Pull Their Ads
August 14, 2009 - 11:00 ET by rammingspeedJonathan Capehart is corrupt scum.
silly faggot
August 14, 2009 - 11:14 ET by cwnelson79The truth is for people not on MSM. But to be fair, maybe when he said we he was only talking about him and his boyfriend.
KNOCK IT OFF...

August 14, 2009 - 21:01 ET by nadadhimmiSo you think that a man having a boyfriend is some sort of slur?? Sounds like it is you useing hate speech here. "Not that there's anything WRONG with that". Ain't political correctness a bitch?
I don't know why they
August 14, 2009 - 11:31 ET by d1carterI don't know why they continue the masquerade, everyone knows. The dishonesty is revolting.

The Capeharted Crusader
August 14, 2009 - 11:50 ET by Jack BauerTwo problems Capeharted Crusader? You're gonna need a bigger boat to take all Obama's problems.
Starting with himself.
Nothing new
August 14, 2009 - 12:05 ET by Prester JohnI remember in 1986 when a reporter on one of the big 3 networks said, "We've retaken the Senate" or words to that effect, when the Dems won it back.
Chrissy's "JOB"
August 14, 2009 - 12:34 ET by sawing battafunny that he outed himself, but he may simply be trying for an MSNBC gig...afterall, Chris Matthews came right out and told us - on Air - that it was his "Job to make the President succeed"

they arent even shy about it anymore...mgmt has no moral code, so they're free to ignore their journalistic oath in the pursuit of their socialist dreams...
Even with those nice young brain cells
August 14, 2009 - 12:35 ET by StarAZCapehart is still "valuable"--so he better watch it.
Could it be?
August 14, 2009 - 13:00 ET by FeynmanFanCould it be that the MSM is trying to become the 4th branch of government?
Look! They have their head
August 14, 2009 - 13:30 ET by jistincaseLook! They have their head so far up dumbo's butt that if he didn't use hand signals they would break their collective necks. It is such a total disgrace the way they act. I am glad I do not watch the network anymore.
This guy is smarter than
August 14, 2009 - 20:51 ET by nadadhimmiThis guy is smarter than Obama. At least he didn't need the shameless shill George Stephanopoulus to correct him as did the Idiot in Cheif as he seemlessly rolled off his tongue;" my muslim faith".
Great catch.
August 15, 2009 - 14:08 ET by AtTheWaterCoolerI've picked up that quotation for http://www.jeremiahf... page on Obama News Network. Were articles of those who are exposed as being spokesmen for Obama are listed. Such as those on Huffington Post and Washington Post.
Shocked, absolutely
August 16, 2009 - 04:17 ET by RR GOPShocked, absolutely shocked. Murrow and Cronkite are probably turning over in their graves!
What's this country coming to? '-(
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
