Local News Whoring for Arnold, example No. 98,034,035

[AP]

Reporting on Huffington's withdrawal, they start by showing Arnold coming to the Bay Area for a fundraiser (he didn't go anywhere public--he went someplace private and met with rich people, so liberal SF'ans didn't have a chance to heckle him). Then they show Arianna's clip from the debate when Arnold wouldn't let her talk. Then they cut to Arnold for a reaction. The voice over is something like, "Schwarz. was more generous", implying that Arianna was out of line when she called Schwarz. out for talking over her.

And why the hell is Arnold the person they go to for a reaction to Huffington dropping out? "Cause they don't want to give Cruz any airtime.

After this very long segment which was mostly about Arnold, in which they discussed the big news -- Arianna's dropping out -- mostly through Arnold's eyes, they did a short thing about Davis and then, very briefly, at the end they showed a shot of Camejo sitting at a desk and reported that he wont' drop out but that he said "he won't be upset and will understand if his supporters vote for Bustamante."

1. that's been my experience

so, either the media is picking up on the Repub sheeple's obvious idiocy, or they're totally bought off

5. Bought off? Arnold's THEIR candidate.

Whith whom do you think Arnold has the tightest business connections? Yes. The presidents of Warner Bros, Universal, Sony, Fox, Disney, etc etc.

He's going to make sure that the media companies are taken care of, especially in respect of property tax (won't reform it) and corporate income tax (won't raise it).

2. LA News

They showed a clip of Arianna dropping out and saying it takes millions of dollars to reach millions of people. The reporter really slammed Arnold and said Arianna had run a hand shake to hand shake campaign and was always accessible to reporters. But in the end, the smooth moneyed campaign of Arnold, who was rarely accessible to reporters, had proven more effective. I thought it was pretty dang good!

3. What station was that on?

All I have seen is a never-ending Arnold commercial 24/7 from these PRESSTITUTES!

4. The whores have been working

at full throttle to make Ahnold look inevitable. The spin today was that Cruz didn't have a public event over the weekend and therefore he's given up. No one seems to take into account that most of the people who vote "no" on the recall will vote for Bustamante. Even if Davis gets only 45%, that will probably mean at least 40% for the Lt. Gov. - who I think will pull this thing off.

I've believed since the beginning that by not going after Arnold early on the character issue, Davis made a big mistake. Why the groping, womanizing, and nude photos weren't put out there right away is a mystery. A month and a half ago Davis could literally have embarrassed him right out of the race. When will Dems learn how to take the gloves off and get down and dirty with these thugs?
