How the Media Frames the Debate I
Notice here how CNN:
1. Uses a rather unattractive and insecure reporter. (When do you see reporters like this on CNN otherwise?)
2. Mentions/plans for (plants?) people who shout in the background.
3. Talks about unrelated topics (Joe Wilson instead of the real issues: socialism and health care).
So, the whole feeling I get from the thing is one of rather insecurity and fear of this “mob”…which is intended, instead of encouraging watchers to consider the issues rationally.
So, the entire “frame” is of a bunch of idiots with signs that say crazy things like “independence” on them rather than any to-be-taken-seriously cross-section of the American people.

You know that works both ways. The right wing media tried to claim that the crowd was 1.8 million when it was actually closer to 70,000. They also broadcast photos that were taken from a larger rally in Washington about five years ago.
Does the attractiveness of the reporter determine the truth of their reports?

The Government has corrupted Themselves, and will face the wraith of Almighty God. THEN They won’t be laughing any more, as the People in the days of NOAH found out to their ruination!!! Remember the Sodomites, They to laughed, and God destroyed Them to.

The best brains on the Supreme court in 1973 decided that it was OK to kill the most innocent of all, A HUMAN BABY!

They are trying to turn this Great nation into a living Hell here on Earth, It’s time to expose these ungodly Prople, and return to being a country, by the people, for the people, and under the will of Almighty God, so help Us Lord Jesus!
