This week’s Media Bias Sunday Talk scoreboard! GOP 8, Democrats 7

Tomorrow is Media Bias Sunday! Or as I like to call it, Librul Media My Ass Sunday aka John McCain/Lindsey Graham Sunday.

Let’s take a sneak preview of what’s coming up on the Big Sunday Talker Line-Up, per the Los Angeles Times and the Seattle Times, okay? Okay.

This is not a complete list; Paddy provides that to you tomorrow. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the lists include panel members, so bear with me if sometimes those commentators are included… or not. I try not to because panels usually include mostly Republicans, and if there are “Democrats,” they’re about as “liberal” as, well, Harold Ford.

And as you may have noticed, Fox is not included, because, well come on, what’s the point?

ABC’s “This Week”– John McCain (R); Jack Reed (D).

NBC’s “Meet the Press”– Darrell Issa (R); Adam Kinzinger (R); Dianne Feinstein (D); former diplomat Thomas Pickering; Kirsten Gillibrand (D); Jaime Herrera Beutler (R); Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R); Linda T. Sanchez (D).

CBS’ “Face the Nation”– Thomas Pickering; former Defense Secretary Robert Gates (R); Dick Durbin (D); Kelly Ayotte (R).

CNN’s “State of the Union”– Sen. Susan Collins (R); Thomas Pickering; Tammy Duckworth (D); Tulsi Gabbard (D).

It’s time to do the math:

Red Rs + Red Rs, carry the pi, divided by D, times Bias, minus even-handedness… calculating…

Total: 8 Rs, 7 Ds. Please feel free to check the addition and political affiliations.

There it is: Your librul media at work.

Why I didn’t watch the Sunday talk shows today

I made the mistake of turning on “Meet the Press” today. I lasted about seven minutes before screaming at the Tee Vee Machine and turning it off. The entire seven minutes was similar to what happened here: “Does this open the president up for criticism? Will critics have new ammo? Well, will they, huh? Huh?” #LibrulMediaMyAss

All I heard was Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi, criticism of the president over the Boston bombings, and then more hyperventilating about anything else that ever existed within the vast political scope of all things Obama. BAD Obama. FAILURE Obama. INEPT Obama. LEAD FROM BEHIND Obama. BLAME Obama.

I’m fine with healthy, constructive criticism, but this is out of control. There is no more news. News died when it was swept into the greedy, self-serving world of commercialization. What we have now is any excuse to create controversy, to even create a non-existent news story, in order to ramp up the ratings.

What better way for corporate-owned media to achieve higher Nielsens for their beloved corporate sponsors than to bash Obama, ignite passions, beat the drums for war, and scare viewers so that they’ll glue themselves to the screen to catch the next BIG, SCARY CHYRON!

But back to the Benghazi Noise Machine. Today, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) claimed that President Obama’s administration is threatening and intimidating witnesses, but he couldn’t even back up his claim:

But hey, that’s okay, people watched, some pointed and laughed, and some even mistook his warped opinion for fact. Key word: Watched. What more could a news program hope for? Oh wait, that was Fox, not news.

I previously posted a video of a segment in which Chris Hayes said this on his “All In” show:

“Question mark.” You know, there is this thing we do in cable news. Sometimes magazines do it too. You want to grab someone’s attention but the thing you want to say is just too irresponsible to get away with or stand behind. So, for example, maybe I want to say, in discussing Lindsey Graham’s demagoguery in constitutional due process, “Lindsey Graham, comma, Constitution hater.” So no, instead what we would say is, “Lindsay Graham, Constitution hater?” Since you are asking a question, you don’t have to stand behind what you are asserting.

And then, as if on cue, MSNBC displayed a chyron only a few minutes ago that read, “Lame duck already?” Since they asked, allow me to respond: “Idiotic question chyron?” Question mark?
