I was just watching ABC i think and heres what it said "After bush's OVERWHELMING victory what will he do in his next term with that mandate? We'll talk about that"
It was ridiculous. Overwhelming? 3% IS NOT an overwhelming victory.

We have no news media. We have a department of propaganda, trying to indoctrinate us.

3. Likewise, robbing a bank |
|
doesn't make the robber rich because he's "a good businessman", it makes him rich because he stole someone else's money.

4. Especially When Some of That 3% is Suspect |
|
I had a dream the other night that my wife and I were watching TV, and they announced that they did a complete recall in Ohio and Kerry won. And that gave him enough electoral votes to win.
I'm semi-psychic - quite often, I dream about things before they happen. Remember this post. It might come to pass....

14. Reagan margins were well above 4% though. |
|
He beat Carter by 9% and Mondale by 18%.

15. Have any Prominent Democrats spoken out against this blatant bias? |
|
Has a prominent Democrat confronted anyone in the media about these kinds of things?
No? Oh- thats right- if they did that, the media would be "mean to them."
Oh well. I guess that is "not their job" to try & influence the media. That is Strictly Prominent Republican territory.
I guess its a better strategy to pretend that some day the "pendulum will swing in our favor."

17. Newsweek's cover after the election |
|
called Bush's victory "epic."
I honestly (and I'm not that big on absolute anti-msm policy) don't think I can ever read a Newsweek again. It's that bitter. Hey-I have kept my policy no watching CNN since the election. Never ever again. Ever. In four thousand billion years do I want to see their hypocritcal lying faces. CNN and Newsweek are on the certain shit list. They don't get it do they?
Of course epic disaster is the truth, but they meant it in an all hubris fashion. Hail the emperor.

18. Bush's "Epic" Victory |
|
"Newsweek's cover after the election called Bush's victory "epic."
I believe that was the week I canceled my Newsweek subscription. It runs out in Feb. anyway. I wanted to make a statement.
No more MSM for me at all. I watch independent sources only like Democracy Now.
