Will the media still excuse everything the president does as "part of the war on terra?" Will the media attack everyone who discredits el presidente? (Dixie Chicks, Rather, Colbert, Moore) Somehow I doubt it, the press will suddenly "come to its senses" and start saying "the president and America are not one and the same, no one is above the law, yadda yadda yadda." I think the next time we are in power is when when we will be able to prove without a doubt that the librul media is a lie.

1. Couldn't agree more.
GOP control of corporate media and voting machines MUST BE EXPOSED.

2. The media will remain right-wing for a long time to come.

4. Democrats need to break up the media conglomerates when they...
get back into power.

6. That should be the first priority after getting the fuck out of Iraq.

If the dems take Congress in '06 the first thing they should do is cut of funding for the war. All of it. And pass a resolution requiring Bush to take every last soldier out of there.

Then impeach Bush and Cheney and begin criminal prosecutions of all of his cabinet members.

5. Agree totally! They can't handle Colbert's reprimand, yet
they expect us to sit by, silently, accepting the Bush deception, lies, without calling him on it and what about the public monies spent on investigating Clinton's sex life -- how can these two separate offenses compare: lying about sex between consenting adults in order to protect your marriage; and, deception, lies about WMD, taking us into a needless war, bankrupting our monies, killing, maiming untold thousands? They don't and doubt we'll ever see another comparison like this in our lifetimes.
