Today's bias score: 30-5

30 Dem shills and liberal journalists (but I repeat myself) vs 5 GOP talking heads who will be asked exclusively to criticize Romney.

Don't know who is worse at allegedly playing "referee" : MSNBC, or the NFL replacement officials...

I suggest that unlike the MSM, the replacement refs actually made some correct calls.

The replacement refs aren't keeping games under control.

The MSM is fanning the flames.

Well, Bob. There always alternatives for those who desire pre-digested right-wing clap-trap. Try Fox, Drudge, WSJ, Breitbart, etc. They can be depended on to tell you what you want to hear.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out...

If you want right wing biased reporting, go to Fox "News". The older established network news operations like NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN are too objective for you right wingers.

Yeah, I was surprised when ABC called the president a liar regarding Fast and Furious timelines.

I am a member of the 47%, I worked hard and I contributed to Social Security and Medicare, so I am entitled. Romney sees me and others as garbage living on the back of the government. No , no, I will not stand for it. i will vote for Obama . Nothing this corporate raider do could get me to cast a vote for him

    Joyce - What is Obama's answer for maintaining Social Security and Medicare? The entitlements have to be paid for and maybe put to a means test, I don't know but it has to be resolved and just raising taxes won't do it. BTW, I draw Social Security and I am paying income taxes on it.

    BTW, if you are 55 or older (it sounds like you are drawing SS) the Romney/Ryan plan would have no effect on you.

    You are only "entitled" if there is enough people paying taxes to continue to support the program. It is a TAX. The money they took from you was given to other people. There is no acct with your name on it. Your future receipts are dependent on others and their willingness to have their labor confiscated from them to provide support for you.

    Don't bitch and whine, thank them and hope it continues. If you wish it to continue, that is reason to vote for Romney. There are 1 million fewer people in the labor force since Obama took office. 1 Million people who would be paying into the system to provide you with the support you think you have "earned". Obama's failed policies are killing more and more jobs every day.

    So, a vote for Obama is a vote for your demise.

    Vote Obama, vote stupid.
