White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

You might feel that way while we're talking it about it but we, as viewers, ask to be lied to. We tune in to television far more than we should. We consume in ways that make it economically profitable to advertise 24X7. We give viewership to these news channels all day every day.

If we didn't create a market for the lies, then no one would find it profitable to sell lies all day. :shrug:

When Guttenberg first came up with the idea of moviable type the number one seller was pornographic novels even out selling the Bible.
 
True. And here on the thread topic, I think it's more appropriate for viewership and other commentators to address that when it happens. The White House should be dessiminating facts through press conferences and interviews; not sniping at news outlets over insults real and imagined.


The WH press sec'y is there to speak for the pres and advocate for the president's policies, in addition to disseminating information. That's fine. If the WH were to lie, that wouldn't be fine.

Some commentators do correct errors, even Bill-O ;). I can't think of an argument in favor of who cares if they're lying, they're commentators (as some in the thread appear to be saying).

Some how I get the feeling this surprises you?
 
News...shouldn't be reality TV soapopera's that just throws lies out there for the sake of dividing our country..

There is something seriously wrong with that.

True. So instead of railing against the beast, we as a society just need to stop feeding it. :shrug:
 
And called on the lies they tell, every time they tell them.

Oh wait...... that's what all the fooferall is about. :doh

This is exactly how the Dems should have been responding to the "Right's" lies years ago....:applaud
 
Some how I get the feeling this surprises you?

Uhmmm no.

But i am comparing Fox News to porno. They seem to be on the same intellectual level.

True but I think a lot of exception is being taken to the way this advocacy for the president's policies is being carried out.

I just don't see anything beneficial about making it about whether the White House can out snipe a press organization. It defies all sound judgment.

I think it is more about confronting the Right's continious lies headon..something the Left hasn't done until now. I think it is refreshing and it is very humurous just how loud the righties are crying about it.

Every single one should be called out publicly. We have seen in the past just what they will do if they are not confronted with their own lies.

You think lying is specific to the Right? The Left is always swimming in lies, too.

One thing I can say about Bush is that he wasn't sniping at news outlets about it.

I don't recall him actually going out of his way to attack the NYT. If he did, I missed it as I tend to tune out idiot sniping when I am looking for news.

I certainly don't remember him and his staff making the sunday morning rounds taking every effort to insult any specific news organization.

Fact is Jall...Fox News is nothing but "Rightwing Radio" on TV and they damn well should be called out for every single lie they tell...especially if it's only goal is to divide this county for self-serving politcal reasons...AGAIN.

Yeah. :roll: Fox News should leave it to the professionals who don't want to "divide" anyone.

You gotta love it. The lefties down in the valley trying to shoot up at FNC who dominates the mountain! :rofl

Yeah, I heard that talking point from the White House, too.

No one said their idiotic attempts to garner support against a media outlet would be totally ineffective.

Oh boohoohoohoohooooooooo

:boohoo::boohoo::boohoo::boohoo::2bigcry:
 
Obama's fight was retarded and will continue to be. I give Bush credit for letting his opponents say what they want and pretty much ignoring them. From a tactical standpoint give the peanut galleries attention only signals to them that said gallery is a threat to them.
 
That's right, CD. Acknowledging your enemy only validates their threat.
