We aren't imagining bias against Clark

[OKNancy]

This just bugs the heck out of me:

Clark has been in Oklahoma every day since finishing fourth in the New Hampshire primary last Tuesday. He visited Oklahoma City and Lawton on Sunday, after making stops in Norman, Oklahoma City, McAlester, and twice in Tulsa in the past week.

17. That was fun!

I sent them a news tip including who came in 3rd. :evilgrin:

[alexwcovington]

3. Yeah, the guy's been everywhere and barely left a mark.

Hmmm....

[OKNancy]

6. He's left a mark on a lot of people

and has been able to raise issues that many candidates can't or won't. Also, we shall see tomorrow.

[robbedvoter]

16. Not on the RNC media - or did he? When Lrry King says

the 4 candidates are kerry, dean, Edwards ans kerry, who are they affraid of?

[blm]

21. Same tactic they used on Kerry and Edwards. Buck up and pull through Clark

supporters. Beat the press back where you can. They INTEND to make our primary look bad in every way they can.

[BeyondGeography]

8. Hang in there, Nancy

And thanks for working so hard for our Wes. Oklahoma's our best hope tomorrow. Keep the faith!

Did you get your Mom to switch from Lieberman yet?

[OKNancy]

10. LOL - you have a good memory

Yup, she's on the Clark train now. She even has a button.

[BeyondGeography]

11. That's great!

New Yorkers for Clark are glad to have her on board.

[Hep]

12. Clark who?

Is he still running?

[DancingBear]

13. C'mon Hep

After all your well-reasoned efforts to make the case for Dean, and after all your sincere efforts to get people here to stop Dean bashing you post this????


I'm dissapointed.

[CWebster]

14. hep is making your point. nt

[DancingBear]

15. Hey Hep, are you really that clever?

:) :)

[Hep]

20. I'm not clever at all.

At least not intentionally.

[Hep]

19. Yeah, well, too bad

Sorry you're disappointed. Good thing we actually don't know each other, isn't it?

[TorchTheWitch]

18. disgraceful

I emailed both of the idiots that wrote that article... what utterly crappy journalism.

[xultar]

22. Here's the letter I wrote to the AP

Associated Press GET YOUR Freakin' FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!

What about your crappy reporting and journalistic skills? You said that Clark finished 4th not 3rd in NH. You have got to be the worst writers in the world if you can't get this fact straight. Your bias against Clark is overly apparent. What does KKKarl Rove have you so tied up you can't even report the facts?

The crappy article you wrote is here:

http://www.kotv.com/pages/viewpage.asp?id=57399


You too can email the AP @

[e-mail]
[e-mail]

Let them know that we aren't going to take it anymore!

[Nashyra]

23. Just a little pick me up for Clark supporters

At least here in Reno we have some good public TV exposure. There was a great anti-war colalition debate that went very well for Wes and has been shown and also we have been able to run American Son several times daily for a few weeks.

[democratreformed]

25. This is great to hear.

Thanks for letting us know this.

[Desertrose]

24. Now ya know how Kucinich supporters have felt since last summer

sure sucks doesn't it when the media plays these littel games...

We should have a revolution or something...
burn newspapers & egg radio stations.....
turn off TVs...
yeah right...


like I said...really frustrating when they disappear your guy....

Peace

26. Two Things Hurting Clark

1. He is perceived as having entered the race to siphon votes away from Dean.

2. As much as Dean gets the publicity for nailing Bush, Clark has said in interviews some things that go even further in demanding accountability from the White House. And, horror of horrors, he didn't disavow Michael Moore's comments.

Big media doesn't like that kind of talk. You saw Peter Jennings.

[OKNancy]

27. WooHoo got a response

Dear Nancy:
Thank you for bringing this to my attention- I will check into it personally. I'm pleased you find us to be accurate- the great majority of the time- we certainly try very hard. Your constructive e-mail helps us to keep our "batting average" high!
Thanks,
Regina

Subject: error on Clark story
----------

This message was sent by a kotv.com visitor on 2/2/2004 9:30:46 AM Hello, Notice the AP story about newspaper endorsements has an error. The last paragraph says that Clark placed fourth in New Hampshire. This is not correct. Clark placed third. Thanks for you attention. I've found KOTV to be quite accurate, and I thought you might want to change this. Nancy xxxxxxxx, Tulsa
--------------

Notice how I was nice to them. This helps so much if you want to get results.

[democratreformed]

28. Kudos for your accomplishment!

I agree nice works best. I have cringed at some of the letters I have seen posted. Thanks for your work.

[OKNancy]

29. Just now got a second e-mail

It's the AP error and the gal said they are correcting it statewide!!!!

[democratreformed]

31. Woo Hoo!

Real results. How cool!!!

[JNelson6563]

33. Good for you Nancy!

We've all got to hold the press accountable. You did fabulously! Nice diplomacy.

Rock on :toast:

Julie

[blm]

30. heheh...Miss Sugar Lips.

All sweetness and light....with a plan. heh ;)))))

[OKNancy]

32. Hey, use it if you can

I'm not beyond manipulation. But actually, the CBS affliate here in Tulsa has a rep as being just a tad more liberal than the others. In fact the old news director is (horrors) a Unitarian.
Speaking of which, my daughter was visiting NYC, and saw Dan Rather at the Unitarian chuch.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

34. Well, its corrected now.

I was about to email them but saw that they fixed their error.

[JasonBerry]

35. I predict Oklahoma keeps Clark alive

I expect Kerry to be labeled a "regional" candidate after Tuesday. I am expecting a Clark win in Oklahoma, an Edwards win in South Carolina and a Kerry defeat in Arizona. This will show that Kerry IS Dukakis all over again.

[Mobius]

36. they changed it

"Clark has been in Oklahoma every day since finishing third in the New Hampshire primary last Tuesday. He visited Oklahoma City and Lawton on Sunday, after making stops in Norman, Oklahoma City, McAlester, and twice in Tulsa in the past week.

Good work!
