The Liberal Media is working overtime today
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 01:30 PM by RummyTheDummy
So far in my limited viewing of MSRNC and CNN I've seen and heard....

- Teresa's confrontation with the Repuke reporter in Pittsburgh on a continuous loop.

- The free-speech zone/protester cage. I find it funny the media is suddenly discovering the free speech zone when in reality, it's been around for quite awhile now.

- The phrase Bush Bashing no less than 20 times.

- Al Jazeera banner gate

- Ralph Reed and a cavalcade of Repugs spinning OUR convention live from the Fleet Center. Reed actually said Bush was "a uniter, not a divider" this morning. I don't think even Rove believes that anymore.

- Bill and Hillary, are they a distraction?

- Why is John Kerry so boring?

- Kerry getting booed at the Red Sox game on a continuous loop.

Unbelievable.

1. That's why my TV is off and I'm listening to AAR.
If I watch any coverage, it'll be on PBS later today.

2. I'll be watching C-Span tonight.
Can you imagine all the Bush lovefest crap that will happen during the Repug convention next month?

5. Did they show Randall Terry?

6. I'm sure he'd support pro-choice demonstrators
getting right up to the doors of the RNC convention in New York, right? :eyes:

I don't like the fenced pens, but Randall Terry can shove it.

9. Yep, everything is rosy and perfect for those propagandists from
the land of the lieing-theiving right wing they work for and are partners with.

These propagandists only operate on a we the winners and you the losers agenda.

Should be be relieved that they aren't talking about the color of the shirts of John and John?

12. Actually very believable. Totalitarian Media in a Totalitarian Nation
I suspect you'd have gottewn the same coverage if Ferdinand Marcos' media covered the Benino Aquino Convention.

These people are identical to Soviet Pravda, CNN just has better production values.

13. This is Kerry's time to define himself...So the media, of course, attacks
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 03:25 PM by Junkdrawer
with a vengeance so that definition is defensive.

15. What Is With All Of The Clinton Clap-Trap?
I was home for lunch and decided to watch MSRNC and they ran a whole story on how the Dem's. are worried about B&H overshadowing K&E. They even commented about how "awful" the Big Dawg's speech was in 88' and showed a 5-sec clip of it. I just can't take it anymore. Why does the "liberal" media continue to harp on these RW talking points, and who are all of these worry-warts I keep hearing about?

BTW is anyone (like CSPAN) just showing a feed from the convention center, sans commentary?

Jay
