I would say the msm is a sewer of misinformation. You can start with msnbc and cnn for openers.

Predictable.

Maybe they could just rerun some old episodes warning about Rush Limbaugh.

It would have been nice if at least one person on the panel said something along the lines of, “If it hadn’t been for the internet, no one would have heard about Van Jones and his wackiness.”

Ah, it’s the ‘unfiltered’ bit they really hate.

They lost the franchise. That’s the problem.

When will these morons get it? The reason blogs and conservative media is flourishing is that they give what the people demand. Will the MSM go down with the Obama ship?

What if the state run media whines and no one is listening?

If it's misinformation, why did he quite?

(Just curious.)

It did. All that's left is the stench of death. Weekly.

"the internet is an open sewer of untreated, unfiltered, information."

None of us could have put the issue more plainly:
our information is supposed to be treated and filtered

I seem to remember Dan Rather had similar sentiments about people in their pajamas.

"There is a bear in the woods...
he sometimes plays Ted Nugent music...
and talks about freedom...

the bear is Glenn Beck..."

They have trouble sleeping at night worrying about this
and the One's slip in the polls.

Such sore losers.

Nobody’s buying their song and dance.

the fine, fine Howard Dean was on Fox News Sunday saying poor Van Jones, someone shoved a clipboard in front of him and he didn’t know what he was signing.

Nobody’s buying any of this. We have entirely too much common sense out here in la-la land...unlike in the cocktail parlors of DC where they have none.

I miss Tim Russert. Compared to Gregory, he was a moderate. These MSM celebrities need to recognize they no longer have a lock on the news. And we need to thank God for the internet. Just imagine where we would be without it. The Communist-Green, former Jobs Czar was caught being himself and that’s all. I wonder if anyone at the next Presidential a$$-kissing press conference will even ask Gibbs a question about the resignation.

You are dead on right. The fact that they can’t “filter” it is what they hate.

Some day I don’t doubt they will be able to do just that.
