to are reichwing hacks? every time I turned to one of those channels yesterday, they were talking to repukes about the dnc. they don't even bother to TRY to pretend anymore. my guess is, there won't be any dem strategists, etc, being interviewed and about the rnc.

the other night, gloria borger and some other twit were talking about how obama and biden are making it "personal" about mcinsane and the whole "I don't know how many houses I own" thing. funny, it wasn't :"personal" when the wrinkled old white guy was accusing obama of treason, questioning his judgment, etc.

and WHO was that moran on msnbc yesterday comparing Sen. Clinton to the character in "fatal attraction" WHY are these people allowed to spew such venom without reproach?

1. Matthews has compared HillaryClinton to all sorts of demented women from lit, etc.
If you're offended by that, then you're just a Clinton shill.

That's what folks around here say.

5. I know, some of the things I have seen here have been sickening. it wasn't tweety, though,
it was some other idiot they were interviewing.

when gov. dean was on c-span yesterday morning, he admitted to a caller that a great deal of what was said about Sen. Clinton in the media was sexist, and that he probably should have said something.

7. yea, well, that's a whole other story that will be written about
for years to come.

"great deal of what was said about Sen. Clinton in the media was sexist, and that he probably should have said something."

but that's considered rehashing the primaries, so nuff said!!

2. I'm over the top sickened by it. And then I come to DU and am reminded of it again. Fuck, I wish

we could just watch as Americans and not get the fucking spin. Truth is, most Americans don't have the self confidence to think for themselves and instead follow blindly based upon a story other people create for them.

6. This is being made worse by the Fox News control of the pool feed this time.
They are deliberately showing bored, yawning folks during the major speeches.

BTW, MSNBC, with Keith Olbermann, primarily, was much better than CNN.

8. KO wasn't there any of the times I turned it on, only the nutbars.
however, I did watch Democracy Now "breaking with convention", which had great reports about the protests and the realities of presidential politics.

11. KO is on in primetime, meaning beginning about 7 pm PT, whatever
that is in your time zone. He stays on for a while, takes a break, and then comes back on.
