MSNBC pissing me off on Arnold
Took the day off from work sick. Watching MSNBC, because I can't really stand CNN and Fox. WHat's wrong with the news channels? All MSNBC is talking about is the attacks on Arnold? What about the veracity of the "attacks"???

The conservative bias of the media really gets my goat.

2. Think of them as MS-RNC
It puts a real perspective on what they do.

9. I've been calling them MSGOP for days and days...

...pretty much from the get go. When Clinton was elected back in '92 it became quite obvious which way the media was slanted, it's been like that for decades. They kissed Reagan's ass, the whole "Just say No" fraud, the contras, supporting Iraq against Iran, on and on.

Think about it...

4. The spin seems to be
Edited on Fri Oct-03-03 11:38 AM by LibDemAlways
that these are "old" allegations - some dating back 30 years. Conveniently failing to mention that some are very recent. The whores are spinning overtime to blame the Dems for these "last minute" allegations.

I've said it before and I maintain that Davis should have gone after this cretin on the character issue back in August, and forced him out of the race back then. Now he's so covered with repuke teflon that nothing will stick. He could fondle a female news reporter in full view of the cameras at this point, and it wouldn't make any difference.

6. I don't care HOW old admiration of Hitler is...
...especially considering WHAT it was he found admirable, Hitlers ability to stand in a crowd of people and get them "to agree with whatever he says". Arnie does not need to be let NEAR the reigns of power, or stadiums full of people...

5. They want him to win.
Same reason they wanted the war. Ratings. Who do you think is better for their ratings--Cruz Bustamante or the Governator?

11. You hit the nail on the head!
These mediawhores want Stormtrooper Ahnold to win because he means ratings. That's their bottom line -- it's all they give a damn about, just like ESPN when they hired Skinhead Rush.

7. Yeah, they said something like the groping was in his distant past
which is just plain wrong, it's all through his life, up until 2000


Is 2000 the "distant past?" Maybe if you're three years old.

It's all just very weird, this whole media thing. I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.

10. LA Times opinion piece by GOP'er critical of Arnold:
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-oe-forbes3oct03,1,1037159.story

What Schwarzenegger's boosters in the GOP establishment
fail to understand is that this is not about an old
extramarital affair or someone's sex life from years past.
This is worse. This is the story of a guy who rode the
elevator, groping a woman on the way up, and who is now
about to get off on the top floor: the governor's office.

Simply put, Schwarzenegger is unfit to be governor.

8. They're desperately trying to not believe their lying eyes
What's so ironic is that many of the same conservatives who were so offended by Bill Clinton are trying to alibi for Arnold Schickelgroper. But they know he's screwed. Even if he wins. Anyone who has actually read the L.A. Times expose knows his crude behavior did not just offend. It was offensive.
