I was so wrong about the MSM press being in the pocket of Obama. It's now quite obvious that Obama is in the pocketof the NSM, purposely making Rush, Fox, et. al., into media superstars. Just how much is Obama getting in kickbacks for this?

Due to a little corrective surgery and orders to stay in bed, I had theopportunity to do a little extra reading and tv watching over the last couple of days.  Finished 'Arms of Krupp' a truly wonderful book by William Manchester and watched for the first time all the news anchors at work.  Of course, the battle between FOX and the White House was one of the main topics on all the channels.  I saw Katie Couric for the first time as she delivered her nightly ineptness; I saw for the first time too all the CNN giant intellects deliver their version of White House talking points; and, I hate to admit it, saw MSNB's entire lineup of liberal reactionaries.  I even saw that fat guy Ed Shuster bust a vein talking about just plain nothing.  While taking all this in, it occurred to me that viewers aren't flocking to FOX because of the Obama wars, they are flocking to FOX because all the other news outlets are so god-awful bad.  I mean really, how could anybody watch CNN for more than five minutes and not get the feeling that the talking heads there are talking down to you no to you.  I don't think I have ever seen such a condescending attitude expressed by so many in so short a span of time.  Hell, the commercials were a relief.  And, Katie Couric?  What's the story there.  She's terrible and talks to her audience with such contempt.  She should start every sentence with, "Listen you dumb asses, I know what's good for you and you don't, so listen to me or I'll smack you in the mouth."  How any viewer watches and listen to her is beyond me.  I could go on and on describing the ineptness of these media professionals, but suffice it to say that viewers are tuning to FOX because they don't like being talked down to and sneered at by liberals with bad attitudes.  And, what was MSNBC thinking when they put Ed Shuster on the air?  I think he's really Rachel Meadow dressed up in a costume.

Scarborough: "Fox News right now, you can tell by looking at the ratings starting at 5 AM, America's waking up in the morning, click, they turn on Fox News."

Amazing he would say that as his show starts at 5 am.  I do turn on FoxNews, but if they didn't have decent guests to interview (KUDOS to Michelle Malkin, Karl Rove, Laura Ingraham, etc for getting up early) I usually switch to radio as I can't handle those three hosts by themselves. 

and realize that people are actually turning on FOX News because it is the only place to get a balanced report and real news

Sad is that these two are just thick enough not to realize that they just gave each other "the answer", for credibility, audience loyalty and Rhiches! ---> yes, riches!, when you deliver an honest, reasoned and rational product or service that people desire, you get rewarded,,, ((silly lap dogs)). 

Value producers are people too!

The press is so bad in this country I just can't believe it.  I can remember reading, in the old days, about reporters stepping over each other for a "scoop".  Now it seems they're tripping over each other to run away from any bad stories about Obama.  What's up with that???

If Scarborough wants to raise his ratings, perhaps he should send out those crack investigative reporters MSNBC has hiding from the news, and get them to sneak a peak at some of those secret papers COUNTRYWIDE has on Chris Dodd's mortgages, delve into Obama's grade transcripts, find of if the thesis stories floating around are correct or not.  It's amazing that people say this is the smartest president we've ever had yet you can get ahold of the documentation.  I remember liberals looking for Bush's transcripts and making fun of them, until they found out Gore's were worse.  So, if this is so important, why not Obama's?

So there you go Joe, a shot at big ratings and I'll bet it won't happen because you work at the "in the tank network" MSNBC. 

Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.  

I saw on one of Beck's shows last week his theory that this bro-ha-ha that the White House has stirred up is simply a distraction .... get all the air in the room sucked into the "White House Vs..." faux controversary... while in the background the White House and Congress get thier Health Care thing moving along.

It makes sense to me.

Less attention on this stupid fight and more onto what the Congress is doing.

They are all so full of it. Its the hypocrisy I cant stand. Today, Fox reported the Director of Freddie Mac will receive a $5m bonus to go with his $2.3m salary. But, of course, we cant stand those greedy wall street folks now can we. Oh, wait, Freddie Mac operates on taxpayer money so that means Barny approved this bonus with money Congress appropriated. Another story for the Fringe Media to ignore.

              Personally, I have programmed my tv to block the other networks..........                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

They better hope that millions of Americans are only driven to Fox News and not to the streets looking to flog their would-be enslavers.

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.
