Rahm's 21 Conversations That Never Happened

Jed put together this most excellent mash-up of the media's frenzy to tie Rahm Emanuel to the Blagojevich scandal. Read his post at Daily KOS here.

21 times 0 is still zero! The repugs got nothin, who's makin this shit up for them?

A media that won't verify information is dead, dead!

!

My money's on Rove.

back to their day jobs - bullshitting the american people.

EXACTLY!

Interesting we had 8 years of lies and crimes and not one question from the Media to the Bush Administration. Obama get's elected and the Media can't understand a word Patrick Fitzgerald said and even the proof isn't enough. Bush annonced the US DOESN'T TORTURE for 7 years as Cheney saids yesterday the US DID TORTURE AND STILL DOES SO.
Every appointed Attorney General by Bush as lied and committed crimes while the Media is silent. Mike Connell got death threats from Karl Rove and was killed in a plane to keep him from talking. The Media hasn't said one word while it's all over the Foreign Press. The Media is reporting Rahm who did nothing but not reporting Hank Paulson giving out free taxpayers money to cronies. The Media Executives should be fired and take the GOP Journalist with them.

media is owned by repugs.

The most grievous criminal acts in American History aren't as important as Democrats talking.

BTW -- It's Mission Accomplished for Media Executives and "Journalists".

I could help but think while watching the Evening news tonight/Tuesday that both the media and the GOP seem to be in overdrive trying to "dig up" the first Obama scandal. And suddenly I'm thinking, "Is this what the next four years are going to be like? Hell, the man hasn't even taken office yet and ALREADY they are looking for a scandal to pin on him!"

The night before, did I see/hear a single network newscast bring up the suspicious circumstances around the crash of Mike Connell's plane? Hell no!

This apparent eagerness to sully Obama's reputation from Day One (actually Day -37) is despicable.

To create a news item out of Obama's vacation. We must stay vigilant. Perhaps it's time to stop watching the cable news networks.

Man -- you ain't seen nothin yet.

I guess this proves that the media is only in the tank for controversy and ratings. Next week, it will be another talking point that will lead nowhere.

21?

Maybe it was 21 words in one conversation! LOL

Meanwhile, the republicans are murdering anyone who can be a witness against Rove and company.

are easy to take out with a 50mm.

Once you accept the fact he central bankers run our world then you at least point in the right direction when signaling out corruption. Check this OUT:

What curious timing as Blago is indicted right after he points his finger at BOA. http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/501.html

21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times 21 times , , ah, that feels good. but tell me Lou Dobbs, why don't you just fuck off.

Barb, you've forgotten Hannity's "21 HOURS" quote! And I'm sure that by tomorrow Hannity will be claiming that Rahm Emanuel was married to Blagojevich for 21 years ...

Al those a-holes have scheduled on air apologies.Unfortunately they have all scheduled them for Dec. 12,2012. I guess the Mayans were right.

I hate the Manatee with a passion. I hope his new show fails big time.

Is it too early for the Rethugs to start impeachment proceedings against Obama?

They're working on it.

The people on the news programs are just well paid liars.
lou dobbs, hannity, all the people on faux snews are way over paid for reading the telepromter.
But that is for a reason. The mory you pay someone the more in debt they are to you the easier it is to get them to do what you want.
These people are way over paid, not just a little they are overpaid like CEO's of companies that have been ripping us off for years now, and the people on the news have been lying for years.
I totally quit watching the TV news in 2003, and don't give these people one minute of my time. The only place I ever watch them is in clips on the internet.
I will never give these people the courtesy of listening to anything any of them have to say ever again! Why bother it's all lies!!!!!

The OJ car chase. Just sensational reporting, anything to get the spotlight and have viewers say "Oh my". Facts only get in the way because the facts are boring.

now these jerks decide to report 'news'? 21x? oh my!!!

Mr media? can you please tell me how many times Gannon/Geckert (you remember the Gay Prostitute who posed as a fake reporter in the White House press corps) how many times did he meet (or is it meat?) with someone in the white house? how many times did he go to the white house and on how many of these times were for actual press conference?

I love how they will ignore actual facts but the made up shit they will report 100% of the time. - our 4th estate is dead and these imposters should be ashamed of themselves. But then they are the one who helped kill the 4th estate so I guess they are actually proud!

and MediaMatters. We have to start attacking the right-wing media in a way they understand. Great reporting and exposures by Progressive writers. The Nation magazine and The Progressive are also excellent.

I stopped my subscription to the local republican rag masquerading as a daily newspaper too!

Check out Common Dreams too!

People who work as journalists and are actual journalists and are not completely full of shit:
Jon Stewart
Bill Moyers
George Stephanopoulos OCCASIONALLY
Cokie Roberts OCCASIONALLY

People who work as journalists who shouldn't even be allowed near the microphone next to the cash register at a Burger King and ARE completely full of shit:
All the rest of them.

Jon Stewart is a satirist and makes a bigger impact because of that then any journalist.

Political satire is, and always has been an important form of journalism.

for the media frenzy reporting that there was only 1 conversation and that they were all wrong wrong wrong.

Will Santa get here first?

Republicans are terrific at flogging imaginary non-stories about Democrats, and the mainstream media (take a look at so-called "liberal" network MSNBC) are more than eager to eat them up. If the Republicans were in the majority, they'd be scheduling hearings about this come late January. Can you say "Whitewater"? Remember "Did Obama play the race card/age card against McCain?"
