Always in search of the truth...the alphabet networks..
« on: June 08, 2012, 12:06:20 AM »
  The well known "alphabet networks" have been all over the Wisconsin story for about a year now.  These cheer leaders for the teachers, unions and socialism, have been hammering the story.
   However, once the people spoke and the special interests have LOST their unreasonable claims.."the alphabets" clammed up and exposed their biased butts by ignoring the biggest story of the week.  Should we have expected more ?

IG, they know there audience. Most of their watchers are not interested in the real news. The Middle East,N.Korea,Central America, are more of a bad movie to them, not real life. Until it bites them personally, they don't want to deal with it. When riots,food shortage's,gas line's at the pump, happen in their backyard, they'll be the one's to look around and wonder,''how did this happen'', and want the govt. to bail them out. gypsyman

This is a good example of "what they don't report is just as important as what they do report".

I will never forget the '06 mid-term elections. The company I worked at had a talk station that was a CNN radio affiliate playing at all times. Every hour on the hour for months leading up to the election CNN radio would report something about the "Mark Foley Scandal". They ALWAYS prefaced every report with the fact that he was a Republican. On the day AFTER the election there was not a single peep about Mark Foley. I paid attention to the radio for the next few months and CNN did not talk about Mark Foley at all since their beloved Democrats had taken control. It was a pretty disgusting display of bias.

I saw a bit on media coverage of Fast & Furious which pointed out that during the same time period in which CBS had run dozens of stories, Fox had run even more, even NPR had run a few but ABC, NBC, and MSNBC had never even mentioned it.
The story of David & Goliath only demonstrates the superiority of ballistic projectiles over hand weapons, poor old Goliath never had a chance.
