Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Can't Control the Press....

Then make your own.

Tonight, Olberman reported that the FEMA press conference that was held yesterday, was not really a press conference at all. Come to find out, the press conference that was televised live yesterday on Fox and MSNBC, was filled with staff members of FEMA asking the staged questions.
Not one reporter was invited or even allowed into this so called "Press Conference".
Though reporters were allowed to call in, their questions were not even allowed.

They weren't allowed in because they want us to be on the Gold Standard.

Your first problem is that you watch Olberman for news.....

Now, RP, we haven't had enough conversations for you to consider me ignorant....I may be, or could it be the other way around? hmmmmm......


I am getting rather frustrated with the constant insinuation that if I as a conservative, don't buy into the 'twilight zone' type thinking from some on the left here, then I must be either, 'ignorant', 'uneducated', 'stupid', 'a dupe', or 'willfully blind.' All of which are nothing more than name calling to distract from the larger question. Which in this case, is why take Olberman's word at anything?

Now, the first response when a conservative accuses the liberal of blindly following the talking point line, the answer is undoubtedly, 'liberals can't be pigeon holed into an idealogy.' Well, bunk! Because if you feel it is ok to do to a conservative, then it is perfectly ok for you as well....

Question where you get your news from? Is it all sourcing from a singular message being put out by more than one outlet? Or is it a variety of different views?

Now, I have posted quotes from left, as well as right leaning sites in here to make my point, however from what I see of those representing the dissenting viewpoint here, they are much more singular in their sourcing. So who's in lockstep huh?
