DU'ERS THE TIME TO LET THE MEDIA KNOW YOU ARE PISSED IS NOW
These freaks right before Clinton was talking showed full CHIMP speech. They didn't do any of this, but they pull this BS when Kerry is speaking. I think it is time to let everyone know how PISSED OFF YOU ARE AT THE MEDIA. THIS BIASED WILL NOT STOP UNLESS WE TAKE TO ACTION!

2. Not my finest letter...
But dammit, I am MAD!

MSNBC;

YOU SUCK! You have LESS CREDIBILITY THAN BUSH! Any pretense of independence you have is permanently lost. YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK! The worst part is, you know it and don't care! Don't any of you have CHILDREN? Dear GOD, you suck!

5. No, that's a good letter
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 12:52 PM by donkeyotay
I used to send CNN emails saying "you've destroyed our country!" I don't email them anymore, but if I did, I couldn't possibly be as coherent and eloquent as yours.

edited for honesty and clarity.

7. my email
You showed the entire Bush rally. Every single second of it.

You cut off Kerry's rally in mid-speech.

No one can trust CNN. No one.

11. When Kerry is president, Powell Jr. isn't going to head the FCC
for starters. I hope he makes the media a priority because I'm sure they're going to make bashing Kerry one of theirs.

12. Hi
I appreciate the rancor, but how long have we been fighting against CNN and Fox and MSNBC? These people aren't going to change their ways until their money is threatened. Registering a complaint means nothing to them.

13. So your answer would be for us to shut up and do nothing?
Without our feedback, CNN & MSNBC would believe their audience agrees with their actions. Our feedback may not change what they do, but it will give them notice many of us disagree.

16. The only answer may be a REAL boycott
Not just "not watching" them but actually cancelling cable subscriptions.

17. Yes, why be silent if it can be taken as consent?
I caught CNN this weekend completely omitting activists such as those here who took Sinclair to task. They said that Sinclair had been forced to alter their planned broadcast (I never heard anything about whether is was really any better) because of the shareholder's protest. Well, I doubt the shareholders would have protested if activists hadn't made boycotts an issue. Then the whores said that that's the way it should work in a CORPORATE DEMOCRACY.

I started a link here about not letting them get away with trading our citizen's rights into shareholder's rights.

23. They know we disagree
they still don't give a shit.

I'd think a better use of your time would be GOTV or phone-banking or LTTE's (which would be much more effective) or writing/calling your representatives.

14. MY EMAIL TO MSNBC
We once heard that statement about Joe McCarthy during his "hearings" in the Senate for the Communists he thought existed in our country.

I now as YOU the same thing. You cover Bush's speeches without as much as a burp THEN your talking heads come on to tell us what he really meant by what he said. They wait until AFTER he has completed his speech. I can accept that.

But when Kerry speaks, you cut off his speech and begin the spin before the speech is even over! There is NO WAY you can escape the "influencing the vote" label after that disgraceful display this morning. Yes, it was important that Clinton came back out this morning after his surgery, but you seemed to forget that the party was for his friend, John Kerry. Clinton was just an honored guest.

Stop pandering to the current administration and allow the American people to hear all of Kerry's words before you start to spin it. There is nothing more annoying in the world than a news station that appears to "know it all" yet can't exhibit an attention span long enough to sustain that illusion.

Start playing fair with the public -- Have you NO DECENCY LEFT, AT LONG LAST, I ASK YOU SIR, HAVE YOU NO DECENCY LEFT?

15. I sent a letter to cbsnews.com
I've sent letters to cnn to complain on their selective coverage. I also sent a letter to cbs to let them know how much I appreciate their live, free feeds. I told them that I turned to them from CNN. I think it is also important to give praise where praise is due.

19. I watched it streaming on the web from local TV station
Our local channel 10 had it streaming live -- it was excellent!!! Though, the cameras NEVER panned the huge crowd -- not once.

Kerry seemed to know this because he gestured to how great everyone looked "all the way out there...." or some such reference.
