Corporate Media Proganda Trick - Blame Democrats for Media's Corporate Slant

Step 1: Corporate media pushes a GOP talking point, "President Obama is saying the private sector is doing fine," while his ignoring comparison between private sector job growth and public sector job losses.

Step 2: Corporate media gives GOP a free pass on the fact that even Reagan did not try to cut public sector jobs during a recession even as current day Republicans continue to insist that we increase the rate of public sector job losses.

Step 3: Corporate media blame Democrats for the corporate media's bias, "President Obama has failed to respond to Republican attacks!"

It is variation of the liberal media narrative, which is used to hide or justify corporate slanted news coverage. Instead, the reason why the corporate media is biased is because Democrats have poor media strategy!

In the end, the question is who will hold the corporate media accountable as they ignore Wall Street scandals, oil company profits, and tax cuts that largely benefit the very rich?

How many times did we hear about Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright but Mitt
used to dress up as police officer and pull people over as they were
driving and that story died in less than 2 days.
