NBC's <i>Today</i> Focuses on Obama's Remarks About the Gates Arrest, Not Health Care

What, is this the first time you've watched the MSM? You expected "news"?



What the heck is wrong with you?!



The MSM is a structured outlet for "reality" show vignettes. All they care about is wallowing in conflict.

It sells ads. So that's what they show.



Discussing adult issues doesn't have any chair-tossing and doesn't sell. So it doesn't get air time.
