If you don't listen to Fox News or Rush....

It has become the JOB of the mainstream media to misinform the public so they can advance a progressive/Marxist agenda.

So why would the mainstream media "expose" what Goober did?  He was just helping the media do their job. 

EDIT:  I just wish the mainstream media would be as honest about what they do as Goober was about what he did. 

Just once I'd like to see Washington Post, NY Times, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN or anyone else run a story that says, "Yes, we lie to you all the time and cover up stories embarrassing to the Marxist politicians because we're Marxist elites.  We believe we know better than you do, and we believe deceiving the public is okay because the ends justifies the means."

 
Foxnews has more viewers than any other cable news show.  How much more mainstream can they get?
 
FNC is my main news channel, though I do also use others.

Sorry, I don't much care for Rush. It's not his content, it's his style. He's a bombastic blowhard, and I really don't like that. I used to listen to Tony Snow in the same time slot. His views were much the same, but his style was SO much better (IMHO). Alas, he's dead now.

In percentage of Americans reached, 71% still watch local TV news, 65% watch network news, 38% watch cable news.  And remember that local TV news gets their non-local news from the network. 

The first two, plus the major news organizations like Washington Post, NY Times, etc., represent mainstream media.  NY Times drives many of the stories covered on network news, which just compounds the problem.

Their progressive agenda is engrained in their inner being.  At our recent high school reunion, the keynote speaker was a fellow graduate who has been employed by the NYT for many years.  He is an editor and has frequent articles in the Editor's Opinion Blog.  He gave an excellent speech, well-written with a mixture of intellect and sincere midwest warmth.  Yet, he was unable to set aside his liberal advocacy for a 10-minute speech.  He was compelled to promote gay marriage and make a derogatory reference to income inequality. 
 
If you only watch FOX and listen to Rush and they tell you the mainstream isn't covering it how, would you know if they are or aren't? Talk about a head in the sand way to insure a self fulfilling prophecy.

I listen to NPR a lot. It seems like every time I read on FaceBook (or the FFF) that the media is ignoring an issue I have already heard about it on NPR. But the lemmings will regurgitate whatever Rush tells them is true.

Reminds me of the breathless posts of a video that has been "banned from the internet". Duh, how did you link it if it is banned from the internet?
 
Ideologues will act like ideologues, whether liberal or conservative (or any other extremism). You come to expect their issue to serve a dominate role in their speech,  energy,  etc.

And, like sub,  I've been hearing about this story on NPR quite a bit. Even Slate covered the story. 
 
My prediction. On "All Things Considered" weekly review with E.J. Dionne and David Brooks tonight, this will be covered. Dionne will try to minimize it as a mis-statement. Brooks will take a more critical view but will stop short of acknowledging that the cat is out of the bag.

Try following the link.  The OP wasn't TB saying, "as far as I know".

Well, I don't have an exact figure for NPR, but I'm guessing the breakdown would be something like this:

In percentage of Americans reached, 71% still watch local TV news, 65% watch network news, 38% watch cable news and 1% get their news from NPR. 

Oh, and David Brooks... now there's a real intellectual.  “I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.”  That's why I call him David Brooksback Mountain.

And?
 
MSNBC is covering this.  CNN is covering this.  Slate is covering this.  NYT is covering it.  WP is covering it. 
Some of these are defending Gruber. Others are not. Either way,  it's completely wrong to claim they are ignoring it.

And as far as the ones defending it,  the Right's media is just as quick to defend their team when they say equally stupid things.

In many respects,  both sides have much more in common than they have differences.
 
Politics has become the intellectual equivalent of USC - Notre Dame.

Head in the sand!
Please.

The lemmings who follow dinosaur media are the ones with their heads in the proverbial sand.
NPR is slightly to the right of MSNBC! Except they can't make it without the gubmit funding.

If they are, it's only since yesterday. Until then it was hardly mentioned, once it think on CNN, nothing on the Sunday Shows or the evening news on the so called big 3.
And the only reason they did, if they did, was because it was forced on them by FOX, talk radio and the internet media outlets.
You are such a lemming.....

FOX news says no one else is covering it and rsc2a and I both gave examples of coverage in other media outlets. So how is the OP link anything more than propaganda foisted on those who won't actually go see what the other channels are reporting?

"MSNBC and the rest of the 'lamestream media' isn't covering it"

"yes they are, here are examples"

"no they aren't, Bill O'Rielly said so"

"yes they are, he is not telling the whole story"

"lalalalalala, I can't hear you"
 
[quote author=Tarheel Baptist]NPR is slightly to the right of MSNBC! [/quote]

Sounds like HAC talking about how liberal BJU had gotten.
 
If FOX is so good why did it take them over a year to "expose" this thing?

You know, it's a matter of public record.
