On every channel....but not Fox.

[deadpansev.livejournal.com]

He is on fox as well, only he is shown with horns and a trident on that channel.

I know you all couldn't handle a few hours one morning without your bewb tube. What did you do with yourselves, anyways?

it's funny because Obama's twitter (http://twitter.com/BARACKOBAMA) is a glorified press release RSS feed, but Republican politicians/talking heads like McCain (https://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain) and Gingrich (http://twitter.com/Newtgingrich) actually use theirs. Palin (AKGovSarahPalin) used hers, too, before she quit, like a quitter, for America.

I always enjoy when "Obama" updates his Facebook with some notice about what he's doing or when to see a speech of his. The comments are lit up by people who think they're actually messaging the President.

LOL

Quitter for America, LOL!

Do you remember those jokes about Khruschev and Brezhnev? "Газету открыл - там его речь, телевизор - опять его речь, радио включил - снова он, вот я и побоялся бритву включать!"

[pacotelic.livejournal.com]

That's a good one. Конечно, средства массовой информации гораздо больше степени, than in the 70s, так что вы можете слушать кого вы хотите, чтобы сейчас.

[chasovschik.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a lot difference... still...

[annainthecity.livejournal.com]

Yeah and that would be kinda similar if we had only 3 channels like we did in the good ole' motherland and they were all government run.

[chasovschik.livejournal.com]

Who knows. Have you heard those hints about newspapers bailout?

[annainthecity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and how does that relate to the Sunday media blitz, exactly?

[chasovschik.livejournal.com]

This relates to state-controlled media. Step by step, you know. Even Putin didn't restore state control over media at once, it took him about three or four years.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying that's exactly what we have here. You guys always take things too literally. No, it's not even close - yet. But I don't like the trend.

[annainthecity.livejournal.com]

Yes, the communist boogie man is coming, run for the hills!

[dwer.livejournal.com]

This relates to state-controlled media.

No. It doesn't. There's no such trend in any way shape or form.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

You mean the one proposed by the newspapers?

[chasovschik.livejournal.com]

In USSR all dramatic changes like raising the food prices etc. always were proposed by workers of some well-known factory. :)

1. It's funny because he's a jittery Luddite.

2. It's funny because this is a stereotypical Fox Noise viewer, complete with stereotypical intellect.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

you mean your phone doesn't jump around making tweeting noises when someone is on twitter?! BUT IT HAS A BIRD AS A LOGO. THIS IS LIKE WHEN WE HAVE TO RECITE THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ANYTIME SOMEONE BOOTS UP AMERICA ONLINE BECAUSE IT HAS THE WORD AMERICA.

[dwer.livejournal.com]

it's funny because somehow a president who makes appeals to the public at large is bad NOW, but back in 2001-2008, it was JUST PEACHY.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

It's funny because one appearance on Letterman is suddenly ballooned into "every channel."

[merig00.livejournal.com]

Here's NYT answer to your statement (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/21/us/politics/21watch.html)



No one shifted an armchair, moved a flower arrangement or asked an unexpected question.

[new-wave-witch.livejournal.com]

that's tv news for you. not really surprising. i guess that's why including news channels in the "every channel" bit isn't surprising to me either. i kind of expect them to talk about the president.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

So it's the same hard-hitting journalism used in Bush interviews?
