5. I have written well over 2000 letters and have fought and won
many arguments that the liberal media is a myth, created by Nut head Gingrich et al. My neighbor work for one of those Whore Media's and agree with me quite so. He claims that the upper level people call the shots and that only if you a true lifer (20 years service) Someone like Lou Dobbs, will they give that reporter of show any leeway. It's real sad because he knows what ought to be shared to the people, but the top brass, corporate heads will never air it. (the truth). Basically, he said it's a job and if he wants to keep it. He has to tow the line.
So with that said, I think the only alternative is to have a real grass roots movement that includes Media teachin's and peaceful gatherings to share the truth that the media is gagged or paid or afraid to tell the people.

3. Change the Goddamn Channel
It sickens me how every single cable news outlet reliably obsesses over every single RNC blastfax spin-point of the day. I almost had a stroke watching Deborah Whoreville on MSGOP. I came very close to becoming physically ill watching every single corporate "news" outlet parrot the GOP talking points. :puke:

7. What really amazes me is that Kerry is only a few Pt's behind *.
Kerry may drop a few more, but with a media of 80% to 20% in favor of *, I'm actually really proud of Kerry for hangin' right their with em. Just imagine if the Media was actually 50 50, Kerry would be a 15 to 20 pt favorite.

If you know a millionaire, ask him or her to join the Al Gore TV Network group.

One of the members pulled out, and so they need another member to get on the air.
