The Post-Debate Aftermath has little competition in the news this weekend!
Edited on Sat Oct-02-04 02:52 AM by dumpster_baby
Looks like there may not be much competition in the news this weekend for the post-debate aftermath discussions on the news channel.

Debate stories are at the top of both google news and yahoo.

He he! The cable TV news outlets may have to offer up embarrassing video clips of Bush from the debate just as a ratings sacrifice! THere is nothing else to fill the void that is the gaping maw of the cable TV news outlets

Live by the sword, die by the sword....

1. I don't know--
I am hearing lots about that woman in Utah whose body was finally found (I was already sick of the Lori Hacking case--I hate hearing stuff like this constantly). I am also hearing a lot about the eruption of Mt St. Helens (which I am kind of interested in).

There is lots of Iraq fighting going on--and Israeli--Palestinian confrontations.

I think we will be the top story (unless something big happens in Iraq) but there seems to be plenty of other stuff out there competing with us getting our message out. I have to keep changing the channel to get debate coverage.

2. Sure there is!
Mount St. Helens
Lori Hacking's remains being found
Tom Delay's legal troubles
Violence escalating in Iraq
"Cybersecurity" chief's abrupt resignation
Israel's deadly raid on Gaza
Ansari-X Prize coverage

BUT ... none of these stories are getting nearly as much traction, now that the Man has bitten the Dog.

5. Yes top two are steam and sadly the scandal is dead with his confession.
Delay's probably not going to come of anything. A$$
Iraq is victim of numb brains seeing to much so no big. Ugh.
You get the point.

4. Just in time to make headlines...
"The U.S. military, backed by Iraqi forces, launched a major offensive against insurgents in Iraq on Friday, attacking the rebel-held city of Fallujah near Baghdad with air strikes and fighting militants in the northern town of Samarra, where more than 100 insurgents reportedly were killed."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6095119/

Anyone surprised that we launched a major offensive against the insurgents the day after Bush lost the foreign policy debate? A touch of the old "Get me good news! I don't care how many of our kids have to die in order to do it!"

We've been avoiding these hotbed cities for weeks, if not months, and we suddenly launch a campaign to overrun them NOW.

6. No surprise, It's a painful clear pattern, bad news for Bush gets
more people killed. for that, they are indeed murderers. Write the press and press them to expose this truth.
