I'm in a serious media ass-kicking mood tonight. Who's with me?
Blame it on Al, blame it on all the crap I've read here about what MSNBC, CNN and FUX have been doing and saying during this convention, OUR convention, but I'm ready to kick some ass.

Seriously. I need email addresses, now. Especially Tweety's. You just give me the name, the email address, and what they said (anything since the convention began, but especially horrid examples are good) and I'm sending an email to them right now, and I ain't mincing words, either.

Let's go. It's on like Donkey Kong.

3. As they say here (TX)
COME OHN. (On is said in such a strange way, I can't even represent it phonetically.)

I hope Tweety is thirsty. He's about to open a tall frosty can of whup-ass.

4. But the kind of "media coverage" I've been reading about here
just burns me the HELL up. I've been watching C-SPAN too, but I want to give all those networks, all those yapping heads a piece of MY mind and tell them exactly why they will NEVER have me as a viewer!!!!!

5. Corporate globalist propaganda
President Kerry must re-regulate the media and bust the media trusts.

7. Here's Tweety's email address
hardball@msnbc.com

And by the way, I think Tweety is far too kind of a name for him. I really do.

8. I am doing the same. I watch C-Span, otherwise you MISS a lot.
But then I click to MSNBC and CNN. AND I AM PISSED!
I sent a very measured e-mail to Matthews. Here it is:

Matthews treated Al Sharpton as if he were dirt. No matter what Matthews's opinion is or what his attitude towards minorities might be, saying that Al Sharpton based his campaign on a lie was not only stupid but incredibly insensitive.
Sharpton's speech might have been long and "not on message" but he is an energizer for our party. Talking heads like Matthews are too biased to be able to do a good job.

14. The Right Wing is diluting this otherwise great convention
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 09:13 PM by DaveofCali
The Right Wing influence on the media is successfully diluting the effect of this otherwise great and highly inspiring Democratic National Convention!!! This is an outrage and highly unjust!!! Its very sad and shows what we are up against.

Another article that supports our anger: http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2004/07/27/monday_tv/index.html

18. Nevermind
I emailed CNN about their shoddy coverage of this convention and told them I will NEVER watch them. I told them I switched to CSPAN. Went into a lot more detail, but there's a storm here so I better hurry and type this!

I'm glad Tip O'Neill didn't live to see him become the obnoxious boot-licker he's become.
