How does Kerry win when the media keeps whoring for Bush?
Sorry to sound a down note in here, but every time I start thinking the tide is finally starting to turn in Kerry's favor, something happens like everyone on Pat Buchanan's show tonight disgracefully whoring for Bush. You'd like to have at least a little balance, a little truth. Maybe I'm just being too pessimistic, but sometimes I think it's hopeless.

1. No one watches MSNBC
They have less than a half a million viewers

2. Buchanan
Buchanan & Scarborough are two sluts of the republican party. I don't like Buchanana but scarborough i not only don't like, he has not talent either. Why is he on?

3. funny.... over at freeperville, they wonder how Bush can win since
the media keeps whoring for Kerry. This constant dumping on "the media" is ridiculous. And what did you expect from Buchanan for heaven's sake?

4. Kerry will win, but will the media admit it?
Can Bush pull off some scary 1984-type media warp where he is somehow declared the winner in key states, even though he isn't?

Oh, wait. They already did that with Florida in 2000. Well, we can hope it won't be as confusing this time.

6. He IS winning despite the media
That is why the thugs are working so hard at disenfranchising voters.
Cheating is the only way in hell they can stay in and not face the criminal charges they need to face. Kerry's people have a passel of lawyers on the job cuz they know it will be down and dirty. The junta is not gonna turn over power graciously.

7. Scarborough Country is not supposed to be balanced.
It's an obvious republican show. Are you actually surprised by that?

10. At least a half dozen people here are surprised every night by this show
It's getting kind of old. Scarborough is a Republican. Buchanan is a Republican. Scarborough Country is a show for Republicans.

12. I have an idea...DON'T WATCH THEIR SHOW!
It is time for democrats to vote with their remotes, and right now about all we are left with is PBS, C-Span, and CBS. If democrats stopped watching Hannity And Colmes, O'Reilly, Wolf Blitzer, Paula Zaun, Tweety, Scarborough, etc, their ratings would plumit. We only have ourselves to blame. I am SICK of reading this threads that have democrats bitching about the national TV media. They win in the end. No offense to whoever started this thread. -End Rant-

13. There are so many famous people speechifying here & not one
mention or video of them on CNN, MsNBC --- none - not even C Span.

It's maddening. I was interviewed by Australian News today at Clinton's speech in Boca.

there were many tv cameras set up there - but did you see one film
of President Clinton's speech in Boca today?

If we want to know what's going on in this country we need to find out
from other countries.

What's wrong with this picture?

14. it's just something we have to deal with, Clinton had the same problem
including through his years as President. Kerry knows he can't depend on the big media to be fair and that they will whore for Bush.

15. Voter Turnout
That is why it is so important this year that everyone who can, volunteer at the Kerry HQ in your area or go to a swing state and help.
That is what is going to win this electon and it will be sweet too.
