1. Oh, this was the best belly laugh I’ve had in months.

   Posted to all our FB groups.
   Thank GOD for THE ONION.

2. not sure why …but all i can see is a 7/11 ad!

3. Does anyone else agree that we have to start calling the media: THE REPUBLICAN MEDIA ?

   I mean, the mainstream media/corporate media/”liberal media”, whatever you want to call it, we have to simply start calling it: THE REPUBLICAN MEDIA.

   They are off the charts ignoring Romney ties to e-vote machine companies, talking about BENGHAZI for TWO FRIGGIN’ MONTHS, when Romney makes a blatant gaffe, it’s really on the internet…not the mainstream media, don’t get confused. etc…etc…

   The GOP TOTALLY DRIVES practically everything that the “mainstream media” talks about.

   Let’s seriously start calling the mainstream media: THE REPUBLICAN MEDIA.

   Rush Limbaugh starts it, with Hannity, FOX “news”, Drudge report…then they have 99% of talk radio shows (according to Thom Hartmann) who ECHO it all week.

   THEY TOTALLY CONTROL THE SO-CALLED “MAINSTREAM MEDIA”.

4. These two time-tested things are as true today as years ago when they were put out:

   The Republican Noise Machine:

   Then, in 2002, Brock came clean. In his memoir, Blinded by the Right, Brock admitted that his work was based on lies and distortion, and part of a coordinated smear campaign funded by wealthy right wing groups to discredit Clinton and confuse the public.

   Since then, Brock has continued to expose the conservative media onslaught. In his newest book, The Republican Noise Machine, Brock documents how right-wing groups pressure the media and spread misinformation to the public. It’s easy to see how this is done. Fringe conspiracies and stories will be kept alive by outlets like Rush Limbaugh, the Washington Times, and the Drudge Report, until they finally break into the mainstream media. Well-funded think tanks like the Heritage Foundation overwhelm news reporters with distorted statistics and conservative spin. Mainstream cable news channels employ staunchly rightwing pundits — like Pat Buchanan and Sean Hannity — to twist facts and echo Republican talking points, all under the rubric of “balance.” Meanwhile, media groups like Brent Bozell’s Media Research Center have spent 30 years convincing the public that the media is, in fact, liberal. As Brock says, it’s all a sham: “I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth.”

   NOAM CHOMSKY: Myth of the “liberal media”, MOUNTAINS of evidence proving the mainstream media is NOT “liberal”:

   We’re talking about BENGHAZI for 2 MONTHS!!! They’re even talking about WACO & THE 1993 WTC bombing…

   …but SKIPPING 911 where the Bush administration was in charge, and a LOT of that gang is in the Romney campaign. ANOTHER story the “liberal media” isn’t reporting. Michael Chertoff, Dov Zakheim, Elliot Abrams, & John Bolton were in the Bush administration, and are in the Romney campaign (advisors, etc…)…NOT reported on in the “liberal media”. And there’s probably MORE THAN THOSE 4 that were in the 911 Bush administration that are in the Romney campaign.
