WASHINGTONTIMES.COM reports:
Media bias has gone from bad to ridiculous. During Mitt Romney's overseas visit earlier this week, 86 percent of the coverage on ABC, CBS and NBC "emphasized Romney's perceived gaffes," according to a content analysis of 21 major news stories by the Media Research Center, which also compared Mr. Romney's trip to a similar excursion made by President Obama in 2008.

    I was referrin to the tea-bagging racist that have infiltrated your party. You know, the whole reason your retarded Reich wing party kept bitching about his birth certificate.

    Now that I know you are incapable of understanding even the simpliest of jokes, I will refrain from telling them.

    Of course I can take a joke. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And again you assume to know my party. You shouldn't assume anything if you're not sure. I say this with a light chuckle!

    Obama gave the Queen an Ipod of one of his speeches, you don't call that a blunder?
  • Kern Brendakp 2012/08/03 20:47:53

    I call that "what the queen requested." You, the dumb one, will believe anything you're told and that is why you are a Republican. You are incapable of thinking for yourself and therefore look for a daddy figure to tell you what to repeat in simple bumper sticker slogans.

    " It's true that the president and first lady gave Queen Elizabeth II a video iPod when they visited Buckingham Palace in 2009. But there was more uploaded to the device than the president's 2009 inauguration speech and his 2004 speech at the Democratic National Convention when he was a state senator. ABC News' Jake Tapper reported that dozens of well-known musical show tunes were uploaded on the iPod given to the queen, as well as photos and video from the queen's visits to the United States in 1957 and 2007. There were also photos from the 2009 presidential inauguration. Tapper reported that the Obamas also gave the queen "a rare musical songbook signed by Richard Rodgers."

    The White House said the queen had requested the iPod, according to a report from Fox News' Major Garrett. While the queen reportedly already had an audio-only version of the iPod, she did not have one capable of playing video. The queen's gift to Obama? A signed photo of herself, and the Duke of Edinburgh, in a silver frame."

    Thanks for playing but you lose.

    Is that all you people know how to do is call names? Ha! No, you lose, I'm not a Republican. Maybe she did request the IPOD, but with his speeches on it, I don't believe for a minute that she wanted those.
  • Kern Brendakp 2012/08/03 21:10:18
    Kern
    Yes, that is all "us people" can do is call names. See this why you are a Republican, you are incapable of generating your own thoughts. Of course she didn't request everything on the iPod.

    So once again a stupid Republican talking point proved untrue. Does that change your thought process? Of course not. Facts aren't your friend so you ignore them and move on to the next bumper sticker slogan.

    Of course they are. When newly arrived dictators arrive on the scene the first they do is squelch or indoctrinate the media as did Hitler and Stalin. The next step is to offer the lesser intelligent of the masses free lunches which the new media supports 100%. Last, but not least, comes the confiscating of guns from the more astute populace. Of course the brain dead media endorses this idea as favorable. Once this is accomplished, any such country is well on its way to being another Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, or a Castro Cuba.

    "WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 - Federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush's education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.

    In a blistering report, the investigators, from the Government Accountability Office, said the administration had disseminated "covert propaganda" in the United States, in violation of a statutory ban."

    " Last, but not least, comes the confiscating of guns from the more astute populace."

    Please point out one policy the Democrats or President Obama pushed that would take away your guns. Don't forget, the guy who is running for your party is the only one who signed into law a ban on assault rifles.

    So you can't point to one policy that Obama tried to pass that would restrict your right to own guns? I didn't think so. The truth is not your friend.

    I do not think the media coverage of Romney has been negative. It is just that he made some bad moves, when in Great Britain and Israel. But voters can laugh it off, the same way they did for Ronald Reagan, when in his radio address, he said "we will soon start bombing Russia."
