You don't like it?


Then push for the Fairness Doctrine.


No?


Thought so.



Now shut the fuck up.

1. With all their whining about the non-existent "LIBRUL MEDIA"
you'd think they'd support media reform.

2. They should be rejoicing,
as the corporate media keeps reminding us of the "risks" obama is taking with this trip.
and the three network stooges will be there close-up to report the "gaffes" that they
will manufacture in order to have something big and worth their while to report.

3. yup. . "He's taking a big risk..walking a fine line" (all over the cable today)
They will trip him as he walks up an aisle so they can say he fell.

4. I tend to think the big 3 coverage is not fortuitous but
was negotiated by the Obama campaign. It guarantees them max coverage.

I also like that it's a big FU to cable 'news' which, it's good to remind ourselves, is watched by many fewer Americans than network news.

5. Bullshit!! They should stay here in case Hillary suddenly becomes the nominee.
Aren't there like 250 of her supporters going to protest somewhere or something?

10. I agree with McCain's camp that
there needs to be more balance in the media coverage of the candidates, and it should start with them being truthful about McCain instead of ignoring all his gaffes, flip-flops, his lies about dating Cindy while he was still married, and the fact that he can't remember shit about his past Senate votes. The man either has a severe memory problem or dementia. The media need look no further than the video of McCain being asked about Viagra vs birth control coverage. That was fucking painful and should have created serious doubts in people minds about his ability to lead himself to the bathroom, let alone lead the country. Yet the media continues to ignore anything negative about Sentator Senile and treats him like a fragile piece of china.

Now Senator Senile is upset because 3 network anchors are going to Europe to cover Obama? Tough shit. For a "war hero" he is a big cry baby.

I guess that little clock he had on his Website counting the days since Obama visited Iraq backfired on him. Now that Obama is going, Senator Sentile can't stop whining about it.

11. It's poetic justice
the RNC had that ticker for 'days since obama has been in iraq' pressuring him to go, and now Obama's decided to go, along with a large number of other places, and they whine about the coverage, TS
