When Kerry wins we need to attack the media and never let up
What? Yes we need to attack the media for not questioning Bush and just repeating republican talking points for the last 4 years. We need to let them know through email, call-ins and every other opportunity that we do not accept them not holding the Bush administration to a standard that amounts to an independent media. Tell Tweety, Zahn, Blizter, Carlson, Colmes, Bagalia and the rest of the fucking lot, that we don't need no fucking ass kissing cheerleaders posing as fucking journalists.

We got to let them know, if we want to watch dick sucking we will order it on pay per view. Their fucking job is to act like professionals and ask tough questions with even tougher follow up questions no matter what their personal fucking party affilation, or get the fuck off the air.

We need to let these bastards know they need to be tough on Kerry but, it can't stop with him. It has to be with ever fucking pisspot that supports and runs for any of these fucking assholes that are supposed to working for us. If Kerry fucks up then say that, investigate that, report that but don't just fucking report what the Kerry people say or what his detractors say, find out what he fucked up and fucking why and fucking tell us. This shit has got to stop and fucking now!!!! Americans are not as fucking stupid as you the fucking media thinks we are. We know that the real news is on comedy central that's why we all watch it.

6. Win or lose
The most important fight we have is against the media (you know that informed electorate thing). If people never get something resembling truth and reality from the most available sources, they can't make an informed decision. It's of course much worse when people don't understand that they are the subject of psychological manipulation and perception management. The level at which people "drink the Kool-Aid" and think they're hearing truth is frightening. We need to be able to neutralize the effect of the spin machine that the Repub party has built over the last 25-30 years. An educated and informed electorate is the best defense of Democracy.

3. We need to investigate this curren administration
And we need to bring charges and lock up all the wrong-doers and there are plenty. If Kerry gives them a "pass" they'll be back, you know it. They're relentless and will do everything in their crooked little hands to upset democracy as we know and love it.

Some call it vengeance, Some call it vindictive. I call it prosecuting lawbreakers. Lock them all up - humiliate them - get rid of them once and for all.

4. The best strategy, IMHO is to bring back the Fairness Doctrine and .......
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 06:45 PM by Husb2Sparkly
...... to break up the media conglomerates. This country was founded with a free and independent media. We need it now more than ever.

I would also like to see some sort of control over screech radio, but that's a harder nut to crack .............
