I can't turn on the corporate media because I will throw up
but after a boycott of almost four years, I did watch some for the past couple of days. The amount of coverage of Obama and Wright is obscenely overblown. Anderson Cooper was the worst last night, with that faux look of concern plastered all over his face as he ran an anti-Obama banner across the bottom throughout.

So....are they continuing it today? I have gone back to my boycott, but if this continues we need to organize a protest.

4. Thank you
You should start a thread with this list as the main topic, especially if this continues. Is it continuing? I haven't turned on the TV, and don't intend to.

6. Well, I hope my fellow DUers are paying more attention

3. How many channels do I have?
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 11:04 AM by Cassandra
And I can't find one covering Obama's economics speech in full. CNN preferred to switch to one of their cretins pretending to talk about the economy.
