Paul Krugman: There’s A “Virtual Blackout” On Wisconsin News Coverage

February 28, 2011 – 11:50 am

No, seriously, and it gives him “That Iraq Feeling”

I don’t watch cable news, or actually any kind of TV news. But I gather that there’s a virtual blackout on the huge demonstrations in Wisconsin, except on Fox, which portrays them as thuggish and violent.

So, wait, wait, he doesn’t watch any TV news, yet, he “feels” that there’s a virtual blackout (except on Fox), because of a post at Digsby (the link he offers up as “proof”)? BTW, Paul, it’s not just Fox which has highlighted the violent and un-civil rhetoric and actions of the protesters. Many outlets have. Except the NY Times, which chooses to avoid highlighting what is going on by your lefty peeps.

But, wait, it. Gets. Better

What that makes me think of is January-February 2003, when anyone watching cable news would have believed that only a few kooks were opposed to the imminent invasion of Iraq. It was quite spooky, realizing that hundreds of thousands of people could march through New York, and by tacit agreement be ignored by news networks whose headquarters were just a few blocks away.

And it’s even more spooky to see it happening all over again.

Really? Perhaps you should have actually watched the TV news in 2003, Paul: You might have seen the huge protests. Of course, he is referring to Fox News, which, BTW, showed the protests. They also gave a platform for many anti-war liberals, like Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and Martin Sheen.

    So Paul K is a “Foxy”? He must watch it, or he wouldn’t know about the protests at all!
    I think that it’s high time that these liberals learned that by telling only their side of the story, some things won’t get reported at all. And that my friend, is not reporting! Is that what they teach in Journalism school nowadays?
    Crazy leftists. When will they ever learn?

    Well. Paul has his narrative, based on not watching the news, and he’s sticking with it.

    What is the matter with you? Don’t you know liberals are entitled to their own facts?

  6. I don’t read Paul Krugman, or actually any kind of New York Times editorials, but I gather there’s a virtual blackout on critical thinking there. « The TrogloPundit says:

    Feelings, nothing more than feelings…Seriously, that’s all they got. No substance, not values. Just feelings.
