What would mainstream media do after fall of Bush and GOP?

[yurbud]

Until the Bush era, I more or less bought the right wing talking point on the "liberal media," but it is painfully obvious now that their corporate bosses make them march to GOP tune only about 5% less obviously than Fox.

If Bush is gone and GOP loses one or both houses of Congress, Fox will most likely remain a GOP megaphone (that more people will simply flip past on the dial) but what will mainstream network and cable news do?

1. they are still the Corporate MSM

we'd have more blowjob scandals and etc etc.

pretty much everything the dems did while in power would be investigated.

If the dems are smart they will put the hammer down on the media, and hard.

Maybe give media matters a war room.

4. media reform is a tie with election protection for top priorities

bust those guys balls into a million pieces.

I'd especially like to see Henry Waxman have subpoena powers to get that NBC tape of Jack Welch's election night 2000 tirade demanding that they call it for Bush.

5. Feeding frenzy...

It'll last for about five minutes and then we'll see another photo of poor Alito's wife crying :eyes: that'll last for five months.

Oh, those poor repukes :sarcasm:

6. They will stop digging up the Missing Pretty White Woman stories

7. oh damn, they're gonna cover the ugly ones instead?

[KitchenWitch]

8. could be!

Or perhaps they will cover all the missing people of color, and blame the Democrats for those that are missing. Since we all know that Democrats are inherently racist and bigoted. :sarcasm:

9. I actually talk about this in class and compare Jessica Lynch and

Shoshana Johnson.

The pretty white girl gets rescued on TV, gets book deals and celebrity.

The black, overweight Johnson got shot in the ankles and taken prisoner in Iraq, and had to call her family for bus fare to get out.

10. In the words of Johnny Horton ...the press will run scared

The run thru the brair they'll run thru the brambles they'll run into place where a rabbit couldn't go. They'll ran so fast that a hound couldn't catch 'em thru the shores of the missippi to the gulf of mexico.

11. won't that muss their hair and make up?
