anyone else tired of all the "joe-coverage" on tv

[morgan2]

He's doing interviews with all the cable news stations non-stop for the past week or so. They all seem to want him to win. Its getting rather annoying and transparent.

[incapsulated]

1. Yes and YES!

They kiss his ass so hard and so often it's a wonder he can sit without a cushion.

[dolstein]

2. Were you annoyed with the saturation coverage of Howard Dean?

He got more coverage than Kerry and Edwards combined. Honestly -- Edwards kicks his ass in Iowa, but who gets the front page of the NY Times and gets invited on to David Letterman? Yep, Dean -- the loser.

[morgan2]

6. yes and I complained about that too

the media is a joke and we should continually call them out on their biases.

[Forkboy]

26. Well I guess that answers his question

and nicely so I might add :thumbsup:

[cheezus]

35. dean was a huge front runner who got spanked - that's news

Lieberman is sucking and has been sucking the whole time. I don't know why the mdiea is bothering with him

[bicentennial_baby]

3. It's Liebermania!

Feel the Joementum!!! :bounce:

Actually, I agree with you 100%!

[corporatewhore]

42. I think the term is mojoe :)

[fertilizeonarbusto]

4. Relax, man

He's doing all the interviews because he actually has the time-unlike the others, who have supporters to meet :evilgrin:

[auburnblu]

5. Joementum is running wild n/t

[AP]

7. Why no Joe coverage before last Monday?

Could it be because the media put all their eggs in trying to get Dean elected?

[Edge]

8. I'm annoyed and tired of all the "Joementum."

Show more of Edwards or Clark or something.

[Jerseycoa]

15. CNN just did the Clark campaign

It was shockingly positive fluff. I might faint. :wow:

[Edge]

21. Really?

No Joe on CNN? :wow:

[morgan2]

22. joe had a live interview just before it

the clark coverage was just them walking around one of his offices with a staff member.

[Edge]

23. Has there been ANY DK coverage on CNN

or anywhere for that matter? I really like him. :(

[morgan2]

25. not much at all since the primaries started

and before that all they talked about was his "kookyness" for the most part. They did stories on the win a date contest and the guy walking across the country for Kucinich, but thats about it.

[Edge]

28. Man, that sucks.

He's a really cool guy too.

[cheezus]

36. I swear, if I hear about Joementum or Liebermaniacs one more time...

[IrateCitizen]

9. Not in the least

But then again, I don't waste my time by watching cable infotainment -- so I had not idea that he was being fellated by the media whores. :D

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. doesn't Lieberman deserve equal time too?

He's just as legit a candidate, especially if he can hold out until the later states.

[incapsulated]

12. He's on CNN almost every day

Getting face time and pleasant softball interviews. None of the other candidates get this treatment. He's been in the single digits all through this and he's treated as if he's the frontrunner.

[Blitz]

16. According to at least one poll

He's currently 3rd ... ahead of both Clark and Edwards ... and moving up. good for him and his staff for managing to get the interviews.

[THUNDER HANDS]

18. well, if he's not in the top three

obviously he's not giong to get the same questions they get. Plus he WAS the VP nominee last year, so I think he deserves airtime.

[Blitz]

11. This thread is going to look pretty silly

if and when Lieberman finishes ahead of Clark, Edwards and (it goes without saying) Kucinich.

Would you have posted this if it was Dennis getting the air time?

[morgan2]

20. i posted it because he's the only one getting

this much face time. It has nothing to do with how he's doing, it has to do that he's one out of seven candidates. They should at least attempt to be fair, because face time on these shows can be directly linked to ones support. They have a large influence on the outcome and in a perfect world would attempt to minimalize it as much as possible. I will continue to call out the media when they attempt to influence the democratic process.

[justinpower]

40. I agree

The media push seems to work too. I was making calls to N.H. for my candidate today and spoke with many undecideds who were courting Joe. They really oughta give at least a little airtime to each candidate.

[Supply Side Jesus]

13. one last hurrah...

before he drops after his dismal showing coming up Tuesday.

[xultar]

17. Ha Ha... Yu know they caught Binny, they are holding him for the

September Surprise.

I think he's gonna do a guest apperance and possibly a poetry reading or perhaps a book signing at the Rethuglican Convention

[xultar]

14. I can't say what I really thinkbut u know what I am thinking n/t

;)

[killbotfactory]

19. He's got the MoJoe

Can you feel the excitement?

Me neither.

[LittleApple81]

24. I am watching him on C-Span - He is not a democratic centrist. He

is a conservative whose reason to call himself a democrat is beyond me.

[cthrumatrix]

27. who get 5% of the vote and 30% of the air time

[Blitz]

34. When did he get 5% of any vote?

Getting a bit ahead of yourself, aren't you? The last time Lieberman ran for office, he got 50.1% of the vote ... and much more than that in his Senate run.

[HawkerHurricane]

29. He calls himself a Democrat because...

the people of his home state won't vote for a Repub...
And the businesses of it like him just the way he is.

[dolstein]

32. Tell that to John Rowland and Lowell Weicker

Both of them were elected and reelected to statewide office as Republicans.

The real reason that Joe Lieberman is a Democrat is because he is far too liberal on social issues and economic issues to ever be at home in today's Republican Party. That and the fact that when he was growing up, Jews weren't exactly welcome in the Republican Party.

[dolstein]

30. If Lieberman's a conservative, then so is Bill Clinton

NT

[morgan2]

31. no clinton was an oppurtunist

who did whatever he thought was oppurtune.

[dolstein]

33. Sorry, but this double standard is getting a little old

NT

[cheezus]

37. It's like my father says:

"Bill Clinton was the best Republican president we've ever had"

But I think Lieberman is still quite a bit more conservative than Mr. Putmywanganywhere

[dolstein]

39. You can think whatever you like, but is it rooted in reality?

I can't figure out why people think Lieberman is so much more "conservative" than Clinton. After all, it was Bill Clinton who rushed back to Arkansas during the 1992 primary to preside over the execution of a mentally retarded death row inmate. Bill Clinton was a strong supporter of NAFTA, and the V-Chip. And Bill Clinton, like Lieberman, hasn't wavered in his support for the Iraq war. Sure, Lieberman chastised Clinton for his affair with Lewinsky, but I wasn't aware that "liberals" condoned of Clinton's extramarital behavior. Lieberman, more than any other candidate, has sought to identify himself with Clinton's policies, which only makes sense, since they are both closely identified with the DLC.

I think a lot of people -- perhaps not you, but many others around here -- simply assume that because Lieberman is devoutly religious, he must be conservative.

[Forkboy]

41. You sure seem to know what a lot of people are thinking

You know James Randi is offering a million bucks to anyone who can prove psychic ability.You could be RICH!!!!

[meow mix]

38. feelin the joementum, yeeahgh!

its powerful stuff.
thank goodness NH is over soon
