It is so obvious that the news has been 'dumbed down'.
   
There is hardly a word about the protests on CNN. It's mostly 'Happy Time' all morning.
Joey Scar is apparently now a lame comedy show with a few mentions of the protests.
What has happened to keeping a nation informed? We have corporate fascism in this country
and it has talking heads on every network promoting it's values.

The protests are being covered as if they have nothing to do with us. The media is missing it again just like
when we were led to invade a country for no reason.

I miss the old days of on the fly television and newspaper journalists with guts.

1. It's really obvious that the revolution stories are being squashed...
   
Wouldn't want to give anyone in this country any ideas.

Shame on the Ministry of Propaganda for not reporting real news.

For the past couple of weeks you morons have been saying that Rush, Beck, Hannity, Fox news all need to be shut down for inciting violence.
If CNN and MSNBC were covering this wouldn't they be as guilty as Sarah Palin if you goons started rioting?
Or does that (il)logic only apply to righties who speak?

 :mental:

They say beck is a huge liar every day yet, they are proving his statements that the left is just itching for a violent revolution.
No wonder they hate Beck so much he has exposed them.

Fox viewers won't get any ideas. CNN and MSNBC, well it would be like publishing Rioting for DUmmies.

Fox news must think it's viewers are pretty smart. They were just talking about it again.

MSNBC won't cover the protests.  Aren't they running another episode about porn stars, strippers, sex in America, or whatever dumb shit they play?

I don't know what CNN's excuse is.  Maybe they just don't want to cover the riots because they know it's driving you DUmmies nuts?

CNN has been covering it but they're so boring and self-congratulatory about it, it's almost impossible to watch.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

I am kind of surprised they're not blaming the troubles in Egypt on Sarah Palin.

It is so obvious that the news has been 'dumbed down'.

And yet, you still don't understand it, you poor little booger-eater.  Tragic, is it not?
