Hmmm...sounds to me like you have most of the major news outlets summed up pretty well there. And no, I'm not going to single out Fox here. They are all guilty! "Criminy, I loathe the corporate media for teaching our children that this crap passes for news and analysis." Me too! @thebewilderness: “unless your news consists of speculation regarding motivation and subtext.”

Anything written or verbalized anywhere will be believed, out of context or not, until proven otherwise." Ah, Cooper, you know good and well even if it's proven otherwise people will still believe it. I'm just saying. @cooper: “They can’t seem to use logic, or even common sense.

They can't seem to use logic, or even common sense. Anything written or verbalized anywhere will be believed, out of context or not, until proven otherwise. They couldn't come up with that video someone made up, and so they decided to find some truth and place it in a context which makes it look ugly and go with it. yup it's gonna be a long haul.

The shock is not in the fact, since everyone already knows it, but in the stating of the fact. How dare you speak of what everyone already knows, doesn't seem like anything to hang a news cycle on, unless your news consists of speculation regarding motivation and subtext. Criminy, I loathe the corporate media for teaching our children that this crap passes for news and analysis.

An historic day ! Well done Barack Obama, for inspiring those of us outside the US to connect with this election. The outcome matters to all of us but especially to the world's poor, disenfranchised and usually people of colour who have been utterly ignored, destroyed, trampled on, used, killed and maimed during the Bush years. Change. Change. Change. For all of us. Yeah, it’s going to get a whole lot worse so let’s celebrate the here and now.
