So now the cable news networks are showing speeches before prime-time when they ignored the Dems.'

[jenmito]

speeches? There were so many great speeches last week that the pundits just talked right over but now they're showing these "nobodies"? I guess they're doing their best to give McCain a bounce in the polls. :eyes:

[jenmito]

1. The AUDIENCE isn't even listening!

[stray cat]

2. Who is the current boring monotone list of panders on now.

She is horrible and I'm a woman so its not sexist. Meg Whitman? wow -shes bad

[jenmito]

4. Yup-that's her. They showed her whole speech-unlike any of the Dems. who weren't on before 10pm. nt

[MrModerate]

3. Of course they're trying to give McCain a bounce . . .

They want -- more precisely, they need -- a horse race, not a rout. If Obama (or for that matter McCain) runs away with this, then viewership will drop off precipitously. And their advertisers will get all cranky, and then their bosses, etc., etc., etc.

[jenmito]

5. It's not fair...

and I really hope they interview Gibbs and van Hollen in between for some balance. They're both there.

[lob1]

6. I don't think that speech will give McCain a bounce. Remember that

video of Bush at a photo-op and he drops a basketball and it didn't bounce? It had no air in it so it just hit the ground and stayed there. Her speech reminded me of that.

[jenmito]

14. Still-if this was a Dem. they would've cut away from it by now to keep talking amongst themselves.

So much for the "liberal media."

[lob1]

24. You're absolutely right. But so far I don't think we've been hurt because

they've been so boring. Has anyone even mentioned the economy today? They didn't during the whole convention yesterday.

[jenmito]

25. Yes, they DID mention the economy. And now they're covering ROMNEY'S entire speech when they didn't

cover KERRY'S speech at ALL!

[MagickMuffin]

7. You noticed that also

last week when I noticed that they weren't covering our speeches I switched over to C-SPAN. I couldn't believe that the networks would be so rude as to not show our speakers.

After the convention came to a close we switched back to MSNBC and watched in horror as the NewSpundits talked over almost ALL of the speeches.

Hell, even ThinkProgress refused to cover our convention, their excuse "We are a nonprofit" funny but I thought the convention was news. :shrug:

:grr::mad:

I guess it that crazy Liberal Media

[jenmito]

9. Yup-and they just happen to all be women. Carly Fiorina's up now...

she's a KNOWN LIAR! Last week the media wondered where the "red meat speeches" were. They spoke OVER them all. But now the Repub. women are getting full coverage.

[MagickMuffin]

23. Carly is a TART

McCain campaign adviser Carly Fiorina said that “American women…will not tolerate sexist treatment” of Palin.

Apparently, this sexism is being perpetrated solely by progressives…at least according to the McCain campaign. Today in a press conference, Fiorina agreed that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) has also been “subject to sexism.” However, according to Fiorina, none of it was done by Republicans:

I would absolutely say that Hillary Clinton has been subject to sexism. By the way, if there are facts that you can show me, I would be delighted to see them, but I do not think that, based on my experiences, what I have seen, I do not think that the Republican Party subjected her to sexism.

I think the Republican Party took her on on her stand on the issues, took her on hard on her stand on the issues. I have said numerous times, I disagree with Hillary, but I also have great admiration for Hillary Clinton.


Let’s refresh Fiorina’s memory with a few examples:

– In November 2007, when a questioner asked “How do we beat the bitch ?,” McCain replied, “That’s an excellent question.”

– In 1998, McCain made a lesbian joke that referenced Clinton’s daughter: “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”

– In May, McCain adviser Alex Castellanos said, “Her problem is she’s Hillary Clinton. And some women, by the way, are named , and it’s accurate.”

– In March 2007, CNN host Glenn Beck said that Clinton’s “stereotypical” voice was “nagging,” adding that it “just sticks in your ear like an ice pick.”

Basically, the McCain campaign has been saying that no one can criticize Palin because doing so would be sexist. There’s no doubt that all women candidates, including Palin, are subjected to sexism. But legitimate criticisms — about Palin’s policies, for example — have nothing to do with gender and should be raised.

30. Yes-I saw that today...

Good post. She is the biggest liar and that's saying a lot. She tells Hillary supporters that McCain supports the right to choose, to have birth control covered by insurance, etc.

[jenmito]

8. They're covering Carly Fiorina's speech, too.

:eyes:

[DCBob]

10. Strained and boring.

Even the audience isn't paying attention.

[jenmito]

11. I know. But there may be some women watching who watch this BS and are

swayed by them.

[DCBob]

15. She is horrible. Too bad McCain didn't pick her.

She is a snoozer!

[jenmito]

19. She would've been more qualified, though.

[DCBob]

21. True. But no charisma. I suspect Caribou Barbie will have them urinating in their seats.

Should be quite a scene.

[jenmito]

22. I agree. But she probably would've gotten more Hillary voters.

But as you said, she has no charisma.

[RepublicanElephant]

12. carly better stop using the word "choice" so much.

clashes with the whole gop thing.

[jenmito]

17. "I KNOW John McCain."

:eyes:

[qanda]

13. And where are the Democrats to counter what the Republicans are saying?

They had so many Republicans on last week commenting on every aspect of the DNC.

[jenmito]

16. Gibbs, van Hollen, and others are there but they're not getting face time.

[RepublicanElephant]

18. yep! reps were all over the denver convention, giving unwanted gop spin.

and now, keith olbermann isn't even allowed in minneapolis.

[jenmito]

20. I just called MSNBC and complained. 212-664-3499.

[jenmito]

26. Faux is the only channel NOT showing Romney. Hannity is interviewing Gibbs right now! n/t

[high density]

27. That's fine with me

These speeches are horrible.

[jenmito]

28. But they're showing all their speeches in their entirety and didn't do the same for OURS. n/t

[jenmito]

29. This is disgusting. They've shown the entire speeches of Romney, Huckabee,

Fiorina, and others, when they didn't even show Richardson's or Kerry's at ALL!
