16. how many of you
have driven across the country lately?

If you haven't, I highly suggest you do. And while doing so, keep the radio dial on. The *entire* dial, and every non-music station has nothing but right wing hosts. Rush Limbaugh , Hannity, Dr. Laurua * are on every dial*. Every worker in American from the guy driving his tractor to the mechanic are listening to this swill. And guess what? There are no other choices on the dial. None. this is what has caused the dems to lose votes since 2000. We need to give them a choice. The only reality they see is the crap on cable news and the radio. And when Dan Rather fucks up, the giant, seething, swarming mass of right wing media tries to destroy CBS as an "outsider".

Who gives a flying fuck about Johnny Liberal and get out the vote efforts in Hippiestock Massachusets? Those people will vote anyway.

Bill Clinton himself helped seal the fate of the dems by passing the 1996 media ownership rules. And he's a fucking moron for doing so. You could only own 30 or so stations before 1996. Now, Clear Channel and other huge right wing corps have bought *thousands* of stations, and they run their top down right wing programming from a single nerve center, all thanks to Bill Clinton and the 1996 congress.

It is a huge mistake. And one of the reasons Kerry had trouble in 2004 was because he wanted to reverse those rulings. So the media looked fo any single thing Kerry did and jumped on it. Never mind that Kerry made Bush lie twice in the debates about owning a lumber company and his comments about Osama Bin Laden. *that wasnt news*, but Kerry's haircuts and Teressa's comments were.

It simply ASTOUNDS me that John Kerry got as many votes as he did in this nazi media. IT's simply amazing.

When Bush wipes out environmental protections, rules are *eased* according to the media, lol. That says the rules were "too tight".
This kind of crap in the media is all over the place. All over.

You saw the lack of fair coverage of the Kerry events on cable news. You saw the biased crap from Hardball and various other networks.

None of it matters. NONE of it. They bought up the emdia and now control the debate. *they control the debate*.

It doesnt fucking matter who the head of the DNC is, for he will always be a commie weenie according to every radio dial and tv news in America.

It doesnt matter if we run an injured marine who fought in Falujah for president. He will be the guy who hid behind buildings while his mates battled the enemy.He will be the guy who questioned authority...and did he really earn those medals?

dont you see? None of it matters. None of it.

So fuck you Soros. You have to be the dumbest, emotional reactionary billionaire in the history of the world. And fuck you Ted Turner for losing control of CNN. And fuck you Bill Clinton for letting the media ownership rules expand from 30 owned statons to thousands.
