TBTM and MediaMatters - Cable news pushed the Faith issue for Rove. |
|
It is so easy to prove. Look at the extra programming they promoted - Faith in the White House, George Bush's Mission, and some others, and then repeating them just days before the election.
Even TIME and Newsweek featured this as an issue.
Political people all said Rove's tactic was to bring in MORE Christian voters. The press KNEW it was his strategy and they abetted it.
Imagine if the media did hourlong feature stories on those who lost jobs and their middle class way of life to Bush's economy, or the stories of lost healthcare, or the family stories of those soldiers killed and crippled for Bush's mistakes.
Then imagine that they REPEATED those stories within days of the election. They would be accused of helping Democrats.
Check out the programming of those stories and how they were timed and the goal would be apparent to anyone.

1. Well of course -- all the major media outlets |
|
are owned by republicans and directly benefit from republican rule. George Soros needs to buy a network.

5. That's our best hope. Even so, we'd be outnumbered. |
|
But, we have no network now, I'll take what we can get.

6. I just hoped MediaMatters could bring this up as a matter of record |
|
and put them on notice that WE KNOW what they did.

4. They let Deal Hudson mouth off about Catholics against Kerry for months |
|
and then when he got caught with the ultra young girl he coerced into a relationship, they never called him on his hypocrisy. Or the fact that he didn't launch the same campaign against Giuliani, Pataki, or Schwarzanegger.
