Guys don't be naive
If we think the media is going to give us fair treatment on anything your nuts. We are going to have to go after these asshats on our own using the web and grassroots organizing. In a week I will sharing with you the website and plan I have to go after my congressman. If you have a puke you need to find like minded people in your area and do something similar.

Put the screws to these fuckers on the grassroots level. The media is going to do the republican's job for them because they are owned by republicans.

1. I heard a new media slam this morning.
They were asking how many of Obama cabinet members were millionaires. Did they ever quiz the Chimp about that? I think not. If Obama accidently puts on mismatched socks it's going to be an incident of major proportions.

2. I like the big "to do" over the Oval Office thermostat temperature
WHATEVER!!! They can all go pound sand. It's all noise coming from a castrated right wing noise machine.

3. Right.
The corporate media is indeed a tool of the right-wing republicans. The most meaningful change has to come at the grass roots' level. And so it is essential that activists/community organizers make use of the internet. We also need to develop skills in "media manupilation."

4. Can I safely say
that no President in history has ever dealt with a constituency as well informed? The Net is our lifeline.

6. Roght - we have to SET AN INTERNET FIRE on every story and issue that needs exposure.
The corpmedia is NOT an honest broker and hasn't been since the fascists bought control of most broadcast newsmedia in the 80s and 90s.

7. When I watch tv
or read the newspapers, I am often reminded of one of the classic lines from Henry David Thoreau (commenting on a Boston newspaper): "I have heard the gurgling of the sewer through every column."
