Post debate, my mom, a school marm is waking up to the media bias! She

is horrified at Diane Sawyer's (her favorite) pro Bush spinning and for that matter how every talking head spins it for Bush. -- and Mom is no big Kerry fan. She feels betrayed and finally understands why I rant so much. It's funny. She now sounds like what I used to sound like.

4. I missed the debate, but got home in time to catch Jon Stewart

after that I turned to mainstream news and was floored. What debate were those guys watching?

Yes, it was so obvious for anyone watching the debate. It is difficult to determine what planet the so called newscasters live on.

By the way, Anderson Cooper--bad. Nice eye candy, but such a bad bias.

5. I missed JS. Heard it was grreat. Mainstream media seems a bit softer

tonight just because they cannot ignore polls, focus groups and guest pundits. It's pretty lame that you have to hit a home run just to score a double with these guys but we knew that. THE SWEET PART IS.... VIEWERSHIP WAS 55 MILLION BABY!!!! THERE'S A 6TH MAN ON THE COURT, BABY, AND HIS NAME IS MO (MENTUM)!!!!!!

9. Just to up that number a bit. Rueters says it was 62.5 Mil

and 53 mil of those were not watching Fox! Sounds as if a few undecideds decided to tune in.

7. "It's the Brak Show, starring ME, I'm Brak!"....

Sorry. Just watched the MST 3K movie a few days ago, and your pic weirded me out a little bit.
