on edit: you can't embarrass, humiliate, insult or shame, let alone find a conscience, in these network stooges....

THEY ARE PLAYING US!

3. Start telling people that Gibson is a racist. That explains his conduct tonight.
Charles Gibson's obvious dislike of Obama could have been motivated by racism. There is arguably no other reasonable explanation. Gibson has no prior track record of being strongly pro-Clinton. In addition, Gibson was reasonable as a moderator in the Kerry-Bush (two white guys) debates in 2004. Now, in 2008, when Gibson moderates a debate involving the first black Democrat who has a serious chance of becoming president, Gibson goes after Obama for the entire debate. From my viewpoint, Gibson must have some hidden, anti-black feelings that motivated his horrendous treatment of Obama tonight.

4. Let's simply let them know what we think about their unprofessionalism
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 10:09 PM by Masterofarts
Politeness often works. I say we contact them. There are too many of us.

10. I think it's time to get serious about fighting the MSM.
Calling ABC won't help, but calling their advertisers might. Make it clear that you will no longer buy the products of manufacturers that support the fascist mouthpiece. When ABC airs a show that gets 100000 angry customers calling their sponsors, they'll get a message they can't ignore.

14. Hee. Gibson and Stephanopolis are lucky they're in a different time zone.
Cause I'd slap them into the NEXT one if I could get my mitts on them. :D

15. I wonder what would happen if we started smearing these journalists like they do our Dem candidates?
Start questioning them about why they don't wear flag pins? Why they haven't served in the military? Ask them where their flag pin was manufactured or how much their hair cut cost? How many homes they own? What type of education or training they have that qualifies them to discuss economic issues?

I wonder what would happen if we harped on every misstatement they said, every faux-pas and spread our smears far and wide across the blogosphere...

I wonder...

16. Good Idea - Someone Should Host A Website Where We Can....
do investigative jobs on the newscasters and pundits and expose them. Maybe they'd think twice about what they would say then.
