Bitching to MSNBC and CNN
"Whenever you wholly give over your cable station to cover one of Bush's boringly repetetive, monotonous, stumbling/bumbling/stuttering speeches, I CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one. When he stops spewing propaganda and says something new and truthful, perhaps I'll tune back in. Until then, you'd be better served by showing only sound bites of his speaking engagements if you want to keep your viewership from clicking away to another station."

There’s only so much an intelligent person can take!

2. And THAT is our enemy that needs exposing FIRST. Every other issue is
contingent upon fair coverage.

The Dem PARTY needs to take this battle on and expose the GOP control of media in a united effort.

5. But the GOP-controlled media won't "out" itself.
And therein lies the rub! You can't expose something if you can't remove the veil of complicity.

7. That's why Dems need to take every opportunity of airtime that they DO get
and the left media that does exists needs to make a united front and go on the offensive and MAKE it an issue without letup until it breaks through.

I think one of the biggest problems with the left media is that they just won't show a united front and organize even loosely on any one issue the way the RW does at the drop of a hat.

9. What left media? Do you mean our liberal Blogs? Otherwise
I haven't found any left media on the cables or even PBS...which I had to stop watching once I figured out that what I thought was liberal years ago was nothing more than Neo-Con stuff. :shrug:

12. Even AAR and left columnists and yes, left blogs. En masse efforts
exposing GOP control and keep pounding on that ONE theme for a few weeks, until it breaks through, somehow. Even KO or Dobbs would be good for this effort. It's uniting on the assault that pushes it through.

6. media
is as media does. When the political winds change the media will be on board with whoever is on top in Washington.

8. Tell that to Clinton. GOP has controlled most broadcast media since 1997.
