now will the mainstream news media whore MORE or LESS...
since we're seeing a shift back to reality as evidenced by the many democratic victories tonite?

will news editors and directors continue to alienate the non-right-wing majority in this country after tonite?

...or will they continue a-whoring after faux news?

1. Hopefully they will not matter soon enough. In NJ, all the media was
pro-Forrester. They went goo goo over this guys bullshit. All the local and Major papers including the so call liberal NY Times endorsed him. All the radio stations, even the FM music one's are all GOP, they all speak with one GOP voice.

BUT,

The Democratic Roots are strong in NJ

We always tell everyone we know and see that the media is lying too you and they are all owned by the GOP. The tactics used by the Corpofascist GOP MSM media are all known and quite predicible now. Only the real dumb repubs believe the media is liberal here these days.

2. New York Times supported Jon Corzine
But from what I have heard the radio stations were supporting Forrester.

3. I think it'll be interesting to see what CorpMedia Inc does

I've already noticed a disturbing trend. Take Anderson Cooper. They give Aaron Brown the boot, totally redesign their news lineup over rising star Cooper - and what does he lead with on his first week back? Crap like "DIVORCE IN AMERICA" or unraveling the mystery of the frozen WWII soldier. Not to mention that hack Paula Zahn. Eating disorders belong on Oprah, not primetime news.

I suspect the strong winds of Democratic power will just force the Corporate Media to give us "missing on Aruba" stories until they figure out what to do.
