A sad state of things...

Posted By: jumper297 On: 09-15-2009 @ 22:32:19         Reply | Edit
Is it any wonder things seem really bad in the country right now when the news media, and its audience, is more concerned about what happened at the VMA's than the healthcare debate, radicals in positions of power, and 2 wars going on?

That should be a 30 second blurp at best.... Kanye West is a douche bag who accosts teenage girls at awards shows. End of story.

I mean it's every fuckin' channel... even the "hard news" programs.

I love how the Acorn thing barely got a blip of news on most media outlets at first.

EDIT: And when will they drop the "you lie" bs? Every president has been yelled at and heckled in speeches by the opposing side, but the media is acting like he killed someone.

I love how the House is working up a resolution to admonish him. Like there aren't more pressing issues to deal with in this country.

It's hardly %75. This wasn't a political thread, it was about an entertainment story. If you don't like it... click the back arrow... pretty easy.

"I thought that was really inappropriate," Obama says. "What are you butting in (for)? ... The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person. She's getting her award. What's he doing up there?"

A questioner chimes in: "Why would he do it?"

"He's a jackass," Obama replies, which is met with laughter from several people.

I think it was off the record chatter, and a news reporter heard it and posted it on twitter.

It was off the record, but it was recorded.

I completely agree that this is bogus to become wrapped up in such a stupid issue when there are much bigger things to be concerned about, like was previously mentioned. On top of that, how many times was George W. Bush called a liar and such. Quite a few.

Booing v. a direct accusation, I think there is a difference in weight, but neither one is THAT big of a deal.

Oh and American Idol and the VMAs will always be the top on the list. Its a nasty cycle, the more people become accustomed to watching crap, the less they are concerned with things that matter. Nice, brainless, numbing entertainment rather than pay attention to anything which requires an ounce of thought. Of course the same could be said about one sided political communication where the viewer just sits back and nods.

I understand tradition and decorum. I think Wilson was wrong no matter if I agree with him or not. I think Biden traveling to Iraq on the eve of war and calling the President a liar was FAR worse... but he got a pass, and a promotion.

What I find infuriating and offensive is the FAR stretch being made to equate it to racism. Most conservatives like myself are proud our country is to the point where a minority can be elected... but I fundamentally disagree with his ideology. This coming from the worlds foremost anti-Semite (Jimmy Carter) is laughable and an imbecile like Maureen Dowd doesn't even hit my radar. If we were all such racists would Bush's cabinet have been so diverse? Would we have put a black man in charge of the GOP? It's an absurd accusation.

I agree that neither is a big deal, but the bush one wasn't booing, it was just several people talking instead of one loud one.

I heard the "jackass" thing today from Obama. I laugh everytime I hear it. All the radio stations are playing just that one word randomly through out the day.

If I ran a tv station, I'd never show another award show ever.
