The next election is about who can beat the media.

I'd argue that the GOP has the advantage in the media today. The Right is much better organized to spread misinformation and the traditional media can't sort anything out because they're all focused on the scoop.

I have no doubt that you'd believe that...and it's stupefying that anyone could say such a thing.

Did you see the cover of TIME magazine I posted? Is that the Republicans controlling the media?

It's ONE magazine cover. Is it even making a political statement? Did you read the article? Is it critical of Christy?

Spence, in one thread, you denied the magazine cover was a shot at his weight, and you said that the GOP has the advantage in the media. Well done.

I never denied it, the other context simply outweighed it. You accuse Time of taking the low road rather than discuss issues but that appears to be exactly what the article is about.

It's funny this disdain with Time like it's a pillar of liberal thinking. I can't think of a single time in my life a liberal actually mentioned something in Time magazine. I doubt most modern progressives even acknowledge it exists...

You accuse Time of taking the low road which they clearly did rather than discuss issues but that appears to be exactly what the article is about.at least a one sided 'discussion' of the issues

It's funny this disdain with Time like it's a pillar of liberal thinking. traditionally...have you seen their covers?

I can't think of a single time in my life a liberal actually mentioned something in Time magazine.that's because liberals don't actually read TIME, they just subscribe to it and leave it laying around the house hoping that the mailman and visitors notice it and think they are well informed, I know many liberals who do this

I doubt most modern progressives even acknowledge it exists...they don't acknowledge a lot of what exists

I'd argue that the Dems have a disadvantage in the truth today.

you can't make this stuff up...probably organized right wing misinformation

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (CBS Charlotte) - North Carolina’s largest insurer is having its share of problems with the Obamacare website.

Internal emails obtained by WNCN-TV show that Blue Cross Blue Shield show that only 1,000 people had filled out applications as of October 15th.

In fact, only one person was able to successfully use Healthcare.gov to enroll in the new exchange.

But even that single person has not paid, which means the enrollment is not complete.

The emails suggest the “payment re-direct option” on government servers isn’t working.

Blue Cross Blue Shield found the entire system is so filled with glitches that the company decided not to upload data because it was afraid false information might enter its computer system.

And the emails reveal a scammer was using the insurer’s name to try to obtain personal information.

A person was making phone calls claiming to be with the “National Health Care Registry,” and falsely claim it was taking over healthcare reform contracts from the Blue Cross.

BCBS spokesman Lew Borman told WNCN-TV the company is working with the government to solve these problems. there's your problem right there
