Should the kerry campaign boycott the media?
Should the kerry campaign boycott the media until they do a better job on pointing out Bush numerous lies in his TV ads? Probably a bad idea but what do you think.

2. why simply Bush's lies....
in TV ads? What about all the other millions lies of Bush that the media is ignoring and instead concentrating on a couple of Kerry's statements/votes?

3. That's a dumb idea if I've ever heard one.
Yes, it would be nice to be able to afford ethical purity and standing on principle. But guess what? We can't. It's not a fair game, unfortunatelly. And Kerry boycotting the media would be RoveCo's wet dream.

The best thing we can do is raise money and counter with our own TV ads.

4. Hell no! The Kerry campaign has to SWAMP the media!
They need a front line squad of spokesmen and women to agressively hammer the lying crooked Bush administration with facts. They need to get on every talking head show there is on every network.

Focus. Focus. Focus.

6. It would be nice
but not possible.

If you leave the battlefield, you forfeit the war to the Bushes.

Our Army must be twice as tough.

7. No, but they should not hesitate to point out over and over how wrong
the media are. And Kerry should coolly and calmly repeat this himself every chance he gets. He should make reporters sweat when they interview him. He should hold those assholes responsible for the sins of their colleagues. Or just act like he's holding them responsible.
