MSNBC The Rachel Maddow Show - Oct. 18, 2010: Rachel explains how the accepted media/punditry/Right-wing narrative memes that are being accepted as explanation for why Republicans are going to pick up seats this midterm election are proved false by what's actually going on in the Right-wing campaigns and ads.

It's no longer just a happenstance: For instance, when Obama travels out on the campaign trail, when the crowds are, by any standard, enormous, when the power of that visual image does not conform with the corporate media's narrative, then one can now expect that there will be little to no coverage of the President's speeches, there will be virtually no sweeping camera shots of the sizes of the crowds, and if, by any chance, there is to be media coverage of the President, you can count on it that his message will be dismissed or talked over by some media spokesperson.

This week, a former President of the United State, Bill Clinton, stood alongside his former rival, former California Governor Jerry Brown, and with the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, before a crowd over over 5,000 gathered at UCLA. If there was ever a local news story in Los Angeles, that was it. and the local KABC and KCBS television "news" that evening at 11PM?... . Well, guess what was the breaking news story headlining the evening news in Los Angeles? It was Sarah Palin speaking to a few hundred people at a GOP rally down in San Diego, presented with breathless narration of how well she was received.

And as for President Clinton, Governor Brown, Mayor Newsom and their rally at UCLA? Well, you already know the answer. There was nothing.

Think about that: An event with an eight-year President, a former eight-year Governor of the largest state in the nation, and the Mayor of San Francisco standing on one stage at UCLA does not rise to "news" priority level as that of a 1/2 term Governor of Alaska visiting down in San Diego. Well, that pretty much sums it all up.

When a teabag rally of a hundred crazies -- with the spelling attributes of a nine-year old -- gets prominent news coverage, when Glen Beck's "rally" is feverishly monitored by every news outlet in America along with echoing his "big lie" of a million people being in attendance, you can be sure that there's an undeniable, unprecedented collusion among our consolidated media moguls. Yeah, I know, I'm crazy, but even this fool can tell you there's been a corporate handshake and a wink.

President Obama could speak to a crowd of 1/2 million people tomorrow, but if Sarah Palin happens to twitter that afternoon, well, guess what will be covered?

There's an orchestrated, narrative that is being sent to every American within earshot or eye-shot of any corporate media today. And, apparently, it is very important for Americans to get the memo: the narrative is that the Republican Party, that has nearly destroyed this nation, is now, somehow, the darling of the American People. Anything that negates that narrative will simply not be reported.

It's obvious who the corporate controlled media wants to run the Congress now. And it's obvious that they will make no bones about presenting any fig-leaf of impartiality the next two weeks.

There is a job to be done. And there is a message prepared and to be delivered.

Call it by it's name: It's propaganda.

Not that I disagree with the video or the premise behind this thread (though I haven't really watched the entire video and Dan has as much credibility as a baboon as far as I'm concerned) but man, I can't stand that bitch! and I'm pretty much in agreement with her on a lot of issues. Still, she's so fucking annoying! who the hell watches her show?? honestly!
