		<description>&lt;p&gt;The sad thing is that Obama himself might help in Atlanta but hurt in the rest of the state.  The whole skin-color thing, y’know.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Glenn Beck is the disproof of the “It’s all about ratings” argument. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the greatest “disproof” is rush limbaugh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he was an incredible flop and hated when he first hit the air and yet clear channel broadcast him nationally, sometimes three times in the same market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;faux news is another disproof, they lost tons of money and didn’t turn a penny until hannity and billo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;media is corporate propaganda, even if it didn’t make a penny on broadcast they get dividends down the road with the influence they peddle&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yes, they are able to get the middle class voting against themselves, voting against their children and their own parents&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it is bizarre, corporate media is able to get turn them into marionttes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we really do need a fairness doctrine…and pronto&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Way late here, but noteworthy that Tweety also was makin’ much ado about nuttin’ and the ballots in the backseat on his show Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All these guys are doin’ their best to reducing political discourse to the level of pro wrestling.  And too often succeeding.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ah, but for the most slavish retransmitting of Republican recount nonsense in a media outlet with a national reach — aside, of course, from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News — one must go to the New York Times. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s getting even stranger with MSM, isn’t it.  They are getting into soap opera territory.  Each day, each and every player needs to appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I say that with no authority…it’s my imagination…I watched Luke and Laura.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Pat Buchanan, George Will, William Safire, David Brooks, Bill Kristol, David Gergen, Michael Gerson, Joe Scarborough, Jonah Goldberg, and God knows who else were all Republican operatives before they were media people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are ex-Democrats in media too (Estrich, Stephanopolous, Matthews, and the late Tim Russert), but none of them do the job for the Democrats the way thoe Republicans do the job for the Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m convinced that these guys are forced on the Times and the Post by outside pressure and are for that reason untouchable.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Glenn Beck is the disproof of the “It’s all about ratings” argument. Not only is he a scummier guy than even Limbaugh or O’Reilly, but he consistently has the lowest ratings of all. But he’s still there.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
