I Tell You I'm Friggin' Sick Of IT!
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 11:24 AM by chitty
Listening to Stephanie Miller on my drive into work this morning on Nova M radio.

Her show finishes and then they go into AP radio news before Thom's show.

It's probably a 60 second newscast and what do they manage to play..............

McCain's new ad about Obama and how he thinks Iran is not a threat.

Just how much free airtime is this fuck going to be allowed to get?

How much more bullshit do we have to hear from MSNBC & CNN? They have really got it going today.

These people are trying to divide us and they are also giving McCain an unfair advantage with all this free airtime.

We have got to have turnout this year. I belive that's the only way we are going to win.

They are trying very hard to stack the deck against us.

1. AP radio carries the same RW slant as it's other "news products".
The owner has been outed and a staunch RNC supporter. Please complain to the radio station, but remember to be polite.

8. You can tell it's AP after reading 2 lines....
..I was reading an article this morning and it started out right away slamming Clinton's speech last night.etc,etc. "Something smelled fishy".. I thought? Then I look at the 'by line'...Lo and behold it's RON FOURNIER of Associated Press. Its getting so bad.. you can recognize his reich-wing Neocon bias without even reading his name. And they call this "Journalism"....

(Snip)

"Analysis: A perfect Night for Clinton, Obama?"


Barack Obama is my Candidate..But did she mean it..would it matter?"

2. Yes indeed. Get used to it, it will be the theme of the campaign
I'm quite sick of it myself. We'll see if they do the same during the GOP convention.

4. CNN is horrible right now (12:22pm)
Bimbo is saying how some Hillary supporters are going home right after Big Dawg's speech. Saying there may be a walkout of PUMAS shouting etc: How they are angry ANGRY about the convention & the whole process. "Hillary was robbed" and there still might be a chance she could hijack the monination." PEUK PEUK!
WILL THEY DO THIS AT THE PUB CONVENTION NEXT WEEK? Will they talk about how Mitt supporters are going to riot, how Rudy's people well disrupt the convention by chanting "9-11", or how Huckabee people will pray in the aisles impeding the process? I doubt it! RON PAUL's folks may make some racket but you know what? THE MSM WILL IGNORE IT!

5. Is that the black PUMA woman?
They must have her in heavy rotation today.

What we are witnessing is utterly disgusting and a travesty.

6. I was cooking and only caught the white CNN bimbo.
But I know who you mean. She was on Fox last night spouting her RNC talking points. I'll bet she has a heart tattoo on her butt that reads "I luv Karl Rove"

7. They keep running McCain attack ads as news pieces so McCain
doesn't have to pay for them.

10. How is that even fair?
Even Howie Kurtz asked that question on Sunday.

The news networks are giving away millions of dollars in free ads - mostly to McCain.

How is this fair? Why is this legal?

12. I think they can hide behind freedom of the press to get away with
this but they are doing it so overtly that I think it might backfire. Income wise they probably figure that if they run the McCain attack ads for free then Obama will just have to spend more money countering them with pay ads. To try and make up the difference. This also works to deplete Obama's funds.
