Let's start with their worst show on CNN which is, no surprise here, the John King show down a whopping 41%. Nevermind the fact that this ass is one of the worst reporters on the planet and whose debate moderation skills fell somewhere between Elmer Fudd and Helen Keller. Want to save your network? Then fire guys like this and hire real reporters to hunt down news that actual matters. The reason Fox News is doing the best out of anyone is that, beside their idiotic night time crap like Sean Hannity, Fox actual reports the news during the day. CNN and MSNBC seem to be constantly running show like Lock-up and To Catch A Predator repeats. If I wanted infotainment, I'll watch Discovery. Know what I want when I turn on a news channel? NEWS!
These networks act like there is no news to report so they harp on whatever notroversy they can dig up like Hillary Rosen's comment about Ann Romney or the latest who's worse to dogs story on the Presidential trail that really doesn't matter. There are real problems out there and all we hear from all the channels is that the economy is recovering/not recovering, the government is either working fine or out of control depending on the spin the channel takes, and Obama/Romney is the anti-christ. But what about what is really going on? What out there is not spin?
How about this gem that is getting zero press: 100 black youths beat a young white couple badly in Virginia a few days ago. Police refused to even bother looking for the assailants as they were "underage juveniles that the worst they could do is tell their parents." Is this really what the police are supposed to do? Reverse this situation and Al Shaprton and Jesse James would be foaming at the mouth about racism in this country. Beat up a couple of white folks though and that is okay. Racism is real on both sides of the aisle. However, it is not the prevalent racism seen back the the fifties and exists to a much smaller scale nowadays. Yet, anytime a black person gets arrested anymore, it's because he was black, not because he was doing something wrong or the cop was a total ass. I am whiter than white and let me tell you cops have been plenty dickish to me in the past, including setting me up for crimes I didn't commit or giving me tickets for things I didn't do. I loathe cops. Racism has nothing to do with it. Most, not all but most cops, are just dicks. Luckily, in my town, the police here are quite good and competent at what they do.
Many other similar attacks have happened across the country in retaliation for Trayvon Martin, which is funny because George Zimmerman is Hispanic, not white, and hurting someone for his race is a hate crime in every definition of the word, not that any black person has ever been convicted of what is a whites only crime at this point.
What else are the news media leaving out? How about how bad things really are with our economy. While Fox News gets points for talking about this somewhat, it is entirely done to make Barack Obama look bad. They conveniently leave out how bad Europe is doing and that the GOP are attempting to simulate this in its entirety. Here are twenty reasons why things are going so bad taken from End of the American dream website:
#1 Why is the TSA being allowed to conduct warrantless searches at bus stations and train stations all over America? According to an article in the Guardian, the following motto is displayed at the TSA's air marshal training center: "Dominate. Intimidate. Control." Why is there no outrage over this?
#2 Why does the TSA believe that it is necessary to pat-down a 7-year-old girl with cerebral palsy? Does touching the private areas of disabled little girls really improve our national security?
#3 Why does the Department of Homeland Security need Predator-B drones to patrol the border between the United States and Canada?
#4 Why is a militarized "Red Zone" being set up in Chicago three weeks prior to the upcoming NATO summit on May 20th and 21st?
#5 Why is the Milwaukee Red Cross being told to prepare for an evacuation of Chicago?
#6 Why is cesium-137 from the Fukushima nuclear disaster still showing up in milk in Montpelier, Vermont? The following is from a recent Forbes article....
8 Why aren't more people in the mainstream media alarmed that the economies of 11 different western nations have plunged into recession?Radiation from Japan has been detected in drinking water in 13 more American cities, and cesium-137 has been found in American milk—in Montpelier, Vermont—for the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday.
#7 Why is there such little uproar over CISPA? CISPA is going to allow companies to share our private online information with the government almost at will. The following is from an article posted on the website of the Electronic Frontier Foundation....
CISPA creates an exception to all privacy laws to permit companies to share our information with each other and with the government in the name of cybersecurity. ... CISPA’s ‘information sharing’ regime allows the transfer of vast amounts of data, including sensitive information like internet use history or the content of emails, to any agency in the government including military and intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command. Once in government hands, this information can be used for any non-regulatory purpose so long as one significant purpose is for cybersecurity or to protect national security.
#9 Why did an ounce of gold only cost $58 in 1972 but it costs more than $1660 today?
#10 Why has the median price of a new home risen from $17,200 in 1963 to $212,000 today?
#11 Why are so many banks issuing credit cards that can have information silently stolen off of them by any thief that is willing to invest in a contactless credit card reader?
#12 Why have most Americans never even heard of the University of Pittsburgh study that found that common vaccines that we give our children produce autism-like symptoms in monkeys?
#13 Why is Wall Street laying off thousands of workers if the economy is getting better?
#14 Why has Spain banned all cash transactions over 2,500 euros?
#15 Why is there such a push to get more kids to go to college if most college graduates cannot find a decent job once they graduate? Why is Mitt Romney telling young Americans to borrow money from their parents to get the education that they "need"?
#16 Why does the mainstream media in America almost completely ignore the brutal terror attacks that happen regularly in many countries in Africa? For example, just the other day more than a dozen Christians were killed by a terror attack in the northern Nigerian city of Kano. Back in January, nearly 200 were killed in coordinated attacks in that same city. So why does the U.S. media very rarely ever talk about this?
#17 Why was a radical activist who once stated that he "wished all Republicans were ****ing dead" invited to speak at the National High School Journalism Convention? Is it any surprise that he declared to his audience of high school students that we should all "learn to ignore the bulls— in the Bible"?
18 Why did Barack Obama recently update an old executive order so that now he will be able to take charge of all food, all energy, all health resources and all transportation resources in the United States even in "non-emergency" situations?
#19 Why are federal government agencies stockpiling massive amounts of food and ammunition? Do they know something that we don't?
#20 Why will a mysterious Spanish company be reporting the election results for hundreds of U.S. jurisdictions on election day 2012?
#21 Why do "scientific reports" that proclaim that there is a desperate need for global population control get very prominent coverage in newspapers all over the western world?
Not one of these stories is being mentioned by the MSM. How bad are things getting here? Read this:

Things are so bad with tourists from foreign countries coming here that, for the first time ever, we have to spend our tax dollars to entice people to come back. Here's some comments from travelers coming here:
After two visits I'd have to say no. Lots to see in the US but
not worth the problems getting into the place. All the security and passport
staff seem to think they're in a film. People arriving in a country for a
holiday don't expect to be treated like criminals at the airport. by charmless,
aggressive and rude officials. I've never come across such unnecessarily
unpleasant people in thirty years of travel round the globe. So no thanks,
anywhere but the US.
The US needs to sort out its unwelcoming officers at
passport control and their new VISA system is shambolic. I used to love the US
and visited almost every year since the late 80's. However, after long
immigration queues and miserable arrogant border officers never again. - boot,
in them thar hills, 1/5/2012 21:54 It's ridiculous that Brits need to be
squeezed through that passport control process as all the other tourists. They
are basically visiting one of their ex oversea colony. A little bit more respect
from the US border officer's ought to be mandatory.
employing moronic TSA muppets to grope visitors' groins
and leer at visitors' naked-xrays is hardly going to encourage more visitors.
Just sayin'
