I was just thinking, how could the media get it so wrong?? There's no controversy to what he said. But I think he touched a nerve with corporate america and corporate media. His words told truth to power to these people and if it had gone on uncontested, then these people might just realize that they've been oppressed for so long and wake up and start a revolution.
This affects all of corporate america. They can't have poor people starting to descent and go against everything that they had been brainwashed with since they were young.
If they wake up and revolt, media loses the control they have over them. They've already lost a little of it with youtube. The media started to panic a few years ago with the innovation of independent oline media forums like Dailykos, talkingpointsmemo and americablog.com. They then tried to conquer that tool and incorporate "blogging". Thus, you have CNN's 360 blog, MSNBC's first read, Politico, Huffingtonpost. They even bought out Ana Marie Cox's wonkette.com She went to time.com and then got canned. It's all about conquer and control.
If the poor people revolt, corporate america loses control. When the people speaks, descent and become independent, corporate america loses political power, consumer pricing power, production power, money power, environmental waste power, shareholder power, etc.
If the oppressed revolt, politician's lose power and control. If their political divisive message of guns, race and religion is overturned, then they have nothing left but to either get the fuck out of washington or do their fucking job.
But make no mistake, the political, corporate and media control are all intertwined with one another which explains why they all all of the sudden turned on Barack. They now want to destroy him because if he gets too far ahead, they will all lose control and then the people will control again.
Update: There aren't any poor people in the media. Heck, Chris Mathews make 5 milliion a year??????? What do they have to worry about and what do they care?
Remember earlier this week when Obama came out with the proposal for shareholders to vote and bind on executive pay????
Was it the day before bittergate? I believe so. I think this set them off. CNN of all people because own everything.
It's not paranoia. This is real. I was so happy after Obama walked off the stage lastnight, but when the moderator and the other guests started afterwards like he was evasive, I was like....... What???? You can't be serious!!! This shit is not serious at all.
