MSNBC promotes Racism for ratings

[exhelodrvr]

I think the backlash highlights the racial, age, and class dividing lines here in America. I find it all to be incredibly fascinating as I am continually struck by how fear has bred such ignorance on both sides of the line.

I have heard radio interviews in which a gentleman admitted that the reason he didn't support the health care reform was because it would allow for more lazy Blacks to sponge off the government; when asked how his health care was funded, he responded Medicaid.

You have those on Medicare concerned that their benefits will lessen as the public option will drain funds from supporting the older population; you have those already receiving government funded health assistance asserting that they are trying to force a Socialist program down our throats. Its all just... fascinating.

I think those are an extremely small minority, cherry-picked by the news because they fit the picture they are trying to present. Accuracy be damned.

These individuals were people who called in or were interviewed for NPR programming. I put NPR into a completely different class than I would MSNBC or Fox News as NPR tends to be more passive about the people who speak out on the air where as the news channels are more aggressive about finding people who represent an extreme.
