Media blahs

So today the talking heads are talking about the stimulus package or the spending package if you listen to Republicans.  But what is stimulus if it is not spending?  But the Mainstream media keep rolling out the Republicans one by one. 

I think that the Obama administration expected a better deal from the media but they are only interested in driving up ratings and the stimulus fracas does just that. I was shocked when Wolf Blitzer asked a Republican why they were so eager to bail out Wall Street but seem reluctant to bail out
Main Street. It was the first time I heard someone challenge the opposition as opposed to those in favor of the legislation. This debate has been decidedly one-sided with a pro-opposition approach. Instead of trying to frame this debate as an Obama failure they should be focused on what happens if it fails. It seems that Jack Cafferty is one of the only people asking that question. Perhaps the media thinks that they are immune to economic disaster but they do us all a disservice with their inside the beltway drivel.

Locally, KUTV-2 has been my choice of news programs, but they are parading one republican after another to slam the stimulus bill.  Isn’t it supposed to be balanced to be news?  Or is it more propaganda?

Where is all the outrage about the serious criminal tax crimes? Like the elitist and corporations having the illegal accounts overseas and pay NO taxes.

How about Exxon getting all this tax welfare along with stealing our public oil resources at prices before 1960 and selling it at today's prices.

Why are the crimes of Bush, Cheney Rumsfeld, Rove, Ashcroft and the rest of the republican criminals shoved into a closet and hidden while they talk of sex lie of Clinton, and some democratic governor’s stupid comments?

We need to take the news media back for the republican-corporate leaders and turn it back into a real live news media,,, which gives the American citizens the true fact , picture and let the government be transparent again
