Study: Democrats get more A.M. airtime
NEW YORK - A conservative media watchdog organization charged Wednesday that the network morning news shows have spent considerably more time this year on Democrats running for president than on Republicans.

Network news executives rejected any suggestion of bias, and said they have a considerably harder time getting Republican candidates to appear on their shows.

1. Yep, the networks should quit talking about Democrats
and concentrate on REAL news like Republican scandals.

2. LOL Brent Bozell
Here's a few questions for Brent:

1. Were these majority of stories favorable to the Democratic candidates?

2. How many of these stories were about John Edwards haircut? Hillary Clinton's cleavage? Barack Obama's four years in Indonesia?

3. And how about them pundits? How many of them were Democrats/Progressives?

Oh, Brent. Why don't you go back to posting those dirty music videos you're so obsessed with?

3. It's the Democrats' turn in our corrupt, moribund political system where each party

is allowed to rule for eight years (which is why the Republican hated Bill so much --he jumped the gun by four years).

I just hope we elect a democrat this year who wasn't a signatory to the every-eight-year deal. -- ie, I hope we don't get the one the media is trying to force-feed us.

Hey, I guess the other possibility is that the media is still working for Republicans and they have to spend so much time trying to control the nominating process to get us someone they think will lose the general election.
