OMFG! Now more than ever turn that shit off! Take away the media's power
and turn it off.

I do not trust those whores to give us accurate results for the election, what is to stop them from just saying that Bush won?

I guess we should get our results online, but where?

Turn them off, DO NOT watch CNN, MSGOP, or even the network news, all are on Bushco's side.

It is two weeks for the election and anyone here still under the assumption that the media will do their god damn job is fooling themselves.

Turn it off, please!

1. The first thing that needs to happen is michael powell run out of DC...
...on a rail. He's been nothing but a repuke toady since day one. He's another official charged with protecting the public interest that found protecting the corporate interest far more to his liking, and probably pocketbook. The accorn didn't fall far from the tree, now did it?

5. This is why it is important for Kerry to have his weekly press ...
conferences, like he said he would do as President. He will not be able to rely on the whore corporate media to get his message to the American people. He can use his weekly press conferences to tell the American people "this is what I am trying to do - this is what the republicans are trying to do..." Kerry can lay it out for the people because the media won't.

Getting Kerry elected is only the BEGINNING of the battle. We must ensure that these war profiteers NEVER gain control of our Nation again. Kerry will have to speak directly to the people, because the whore media will only try to distort his words.

7. I agree
I think taking the polls, and emailing them is just feeding them.
They are like childred, they don't care what kind of attention they get as long as it's attention.
