Reply #69: And local media are just as bad

[ladym55]

When Kennedy's article about voter fraud in Ohio broke, we sure didn't know about it HERE IN OHIO. When the local paper, the Beacon Journal, finally had to break down and acknowledge that Kennedy's article existed, they published an editorial that said to "stop whining" and "get over it." Now a REAL newspaper would have done some investigating. Nahh, not the Beacon. That would be WORK. :eyes:

One of the main Beacon editorial writers spoke to a group community leaders after the 2004 election. He was asked why the Beacon spent so much time on things like Swiftboat Veterans instead of analyzing the issues that affected the citizens of Ohio. His response? Kerry's economic policy alone filled a HUGE binder. It would have been HARD to read. It would have taken a LONG time.

I'm finding more and more people getting their news from Comedy Central--Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. This is scary in many ways, but those two use satire to encourage their viewers to think a little about what is going on and how we are being manipulated.

Colbert is now so threatening to MSM that Matt Lauer and Campbell (I'm an airhead) Brown took time out their important show to bash Colbert. And Colbert, being Colbert, bashed right back.

The Dems haven't put up a candidate that MSM hasn't trashed totally at every opportunity. Al Gore was "wooden." (but drooling chimpy was great!) John Kerry was too elitist, too formal, too many big words. Anyone who actually heard Kerry speak knew that none of that was true. He fought back hard, but got no coverage, so now everyone blames him and calls him a loser. Both Gore and Kerry were and are class acts. And if MSM had covered the mysterious box on chimpy's back during the first debate in 2004 the way they covered "the scream," it would have been SO much more difficult to steal the election.

The Dems need to keep breaking the face of every MSM "star." None of them can handle being challenged.
