Stop Complaining: We Have a Few Media Friends & Viacom is the |
|
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 05:52 PM by BayStateBoy
"Keys to the Kingdom. "
Sure, we have rather consistent allies like
Craig Crawford ccrawford@cq.com
Keith Olbermann countdown@msnbc.com
Ron Reagan rreagan@msnbc.com
Ted Koppel nightline@abc.com
but media giant Viacom is hands down our best shot. They own CBS and a litany of other networks, supported Kerry and Viacom execs donated money to his campaign.
The big three at Viacom are Tom Freston Leslie Moonves
RatherGate might make them pause, but won't deter them. I just don't know how to get information to these men who control the power. Please help.

2. If anything, 'RatherGate' will propel them forward |
|
What have they got to lose? If they can show fraud, that may track back to the Killian memos.

tell me what to do. And, really, the corporate media is not our friend. Don't let the few bones they toss our way confuse you.

4. we have no friends in the media |

None. Nothing will change until there are overturned CNN trucks on fire in the streets. Which doesn't seem to be any time soon.

6. No friends. But we can make a splash when we gain momentum. |
|
The Ohio fraud story (4000 votes in Franklin county) started here and made it. We need to push it - fully knowing they are no friends of ours.

He is very outspoken in letting people know his disgust with the presidency and he is insanely funny about it. He is also very vocal about the democratic party being weak.
