3. Is CSPAN covering any of it?
Also, are we massively e-mailing them on the unfair coverage?

4. And they estimate 100,000 people are there.
No fucking coverage. Why can't they show the whole damn speech like they do with McCain and Palin??!!

12. The park grounds around the Arch are enormous!
I'm sure that's exactly why they decided to hold the rally there.

10. If They Let People Hear Obama Speak, They Might Vote For Him
and the MSM doesn't want people to vote for Obama, so they give him practically NO airtime unless he pays for it,
while they will give McAin't lots and lots of FREE airtime.

6. I despise the corporate whore media with a passion.
They cover all of the Big Dipper's events even though she and her followers give the media her middle finger. They must like the abuse they receive from McPalin.

13. I sent an e-mail to CNN and MSNBC even though I do not think it does much
but at least I tried.

this is what I said:


Subject: Why do you show all of the Republican rallies in their entirety and no Democratic rallies?


If Sarah Palin does not want us citizens to see her answering questions from the media so we can judge her qualifications, why do you even bother to show her talking? That is an insult to the people. And this way they do not need to buy advertising. The Republicans must be feeling smug about giving you a frozen shoulder and getting you to fawn all over them.

15. Shuster is now on MSNBC
just showed the clip about the 'welfare' tax

"Lately, Senator McCain has been attacking my middle class tax cut. He actually said it goes to, "those who don't pay taxes," even though it only goes to working people who are already getting taxed on their paycheck. That's right, Missouri – John McCain is so out of touch with the struggles you are facing that he must be the first politician in history to call a tax cut for working people "welfare."
