Quote cats meow: Key findings Number of times Beck's and Hannity's programs, combined, referenced ACORN, Abramoff, Blackwater, and Halliburton/KBR from May 8, 2006, to September 18, 2009 (NOTE: For the purposes of this study, a "reference" is defined as the specified topic having been mentioned by either a host or a guest on the program being studied.): * ACORN: 1,502 * Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH): 62 * Blackwater/Xe: 4 * Halliburton/KBR: 43 Conclusions: * Beck's and Hannity's programs were approximately 35 times more likely to reference ACORN than any of the military contractors. * Beck's and Hannity's programs were approximately 24 times more likely to reference ACORN than either Abramoff or Ney. something to think about And how many times has ACORN been mentioned by the Main Stream Media (ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN)? Charlie Gibson didnt even know what was going on with ACORN! Seems like they just didnt want to report on a major scandle. Why? Because they are all in the tank for the President? Just goes to show you how irrealavent the MSM has become. something to think about? |

Maybe there are more important things to be concerned about. Iran, the war in Iraq (wrong country,huge cost of life, huge # of injured, HUGE deficit) deciding what to do about Afghanistan (because it wasn't handled correctly the first time), repairing our image around the world), Global Warming, energy, Health Care, repairing the economy. |

If the media would stop giving air time to all of the idiots comparing our President to Hitler or calling him a socialist and claiming he wasn't born here they maybe we would hear some real news. Many so called newsmen are just stirring the pot and laughing all the way to the bank. We are just helping them do it. totally agree with you |

They are just too far out there. |

They are just too far out there. Boy do I agree with you guys. If they would quit allowing those idiot hate mongers on tv maybe some of this would die down. Other countries are laughing their butts off as they see the American people in the almighty USA acting the same way that they are condemed by us for doing. They are watching and seeing that we are being divided politically. Remember "United we stand and divided we fall". |

The sole purpose that these 'screamers and yellers' have at the town hall meetins is to disrupt and prevent others from expressing their views, and to make their statements show up on TV. Of course, that's about all the media gets at these town hall meetings, so why blame them - they're reporting, and the screamers and yellers are taking advantage of the media and then crab and bellyache when the media focuses on it. If the media would concentrate on real, uncontrived situations, they would have more time to show other concerns, i.e., Acorn and other issues. I agree, the media needs to focus more on the meat and not the potatos! And, I'm not talking about FOX meat. They concentrate more on skewing facts and presenting adulterated news(?) in order to fit their bias! |
