What I'd like from all Dems appearing on Cable news shows. Why the imbalance?

[NRaleighLiberal]

I want them to bring the Dem-Republic imbalance the media has been forcing for over 8 years (probably longer) out in the open. No matter what the question, who ever our spokesperson is, I'd like the Dem to ask why there are always more Republics. And keep asking it until they get the right answer. The old excuses are not valid - "well, the right is in power". Bullshit. Using their rules, we should be outnumbering them 2:1 if we use the rules played by over the past long period.

This bullshit has gone on long enough. Time to call out the right wing owners of the media and expose their game for what it is.

1. Because the cable news shows are owned by repuks.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. I know - that's why I want the Dems to be a broken record and expose it.

2. Recommended this as do we get equal time as Rush Limbaugh's speech is on CNN, Fox

& don't know what other stations as his keynote address to CPAC.

Are the dems going to get equal time from the conservative right wing limbaugh.

The republicans got equal time to Obama. Of course I am not equating Rush to President Obama but I am saying

that the imbalance is pretty bad and needs to be addressed. How many radio hosts get this treatment, don't care who he is, he is still a talking head.

4. I have heard that Democrats will not come on the shows.

It is safer for them if they are not confrontational on TV.

6. Really, where have you heard this? n/t

[OHdem10]

9. I have heard Tweety say this. Mkore than once I have heard people

at CNN say this.

[rvablue]

12. Really, you've heard Tweety and CNN people on air say that

"conservative Democrats" have tried to keep "liberal democrats" of the air. That would also mean that they are taking directives from said "conservative Democrats" to do so.

I wish I could see a video of it. It would be disturbing.

But sorry, I'm not buying it.

It's the corporate-paid bookers of news shows who decides who gets on the air or not. And frankly, trying to forward the notion that somehow "conservative democrats" are orchestrating who goes on the teevess is pretty unbelievable.

5. FForgot to mention--Very rarely are true Liberals allowed on by

Media or ourParty. The Conservative Democrats are afraid the
Liberals will embarass them.

[rvablue]

7. Really, so what you're saying is that "Conservative Democrats" are conspiring with bookers at news

shows to keep "Liberals" off the air.

Yeah, right. Give me a break!

8. Well you have to admit

That on the few occasions that a "Democrat" is on TV at all.... 9 times out of 10 it will be a DLC'er. :evilfrown:

[EV_Ares]

10. Is that like Harold Ford? eom.

[Sebastian Doyle]

11. Considering that asshat is the current "chairman" of the DLC

I would say he definitely qualifies.
