Maybe I am paranoid but it seems to me the MSM
has gone into full overdrive pimping for Bush the last couple days. Yesterday I watched the NBC evening news and they have a segment on how the people in Baghdad are feeling safer the last few days because the violence has subsided. They showed a huge hall called The Hunting Club were people were playing bingo. Then they did another piece saying the election will turn on the economy and who makes you feel safer. This morning I wake up to an MSNBC report and they have a Whitehouse spokesperson saying how the polls are swinging in their favor big time the last few days and they had no spokesperson whatever for the Democrats. Every time I turn on CNN I see that asshole Bush saying if the Democrats win they will raise your taxes and if we bring our troops home from Iraq the terrorists will follow them. I sure will be glad when this is over.

1. You can take it to the bank that Rove is burning up the phone lines
talking with the CEOs of all the M$M outfits. The strategy is pretty transparent to us DUers but
Joe Sixpack won't see through it like we do. You know what I mean.

2. The news reports I see should be followed by " I am
George W. Bush and I approve of this message". I watched Dan Rather for years and Bush had him fired, now they have everyone else walking on egg shells afraid to piss him off. I can't believe they haven't found a way to take out Keith Oberman.

3. That Broken Government CNN Piece
was pretty damning. I saw the Hunting Club segment too and saw it as safe place that more and more people are moving to. They failed to mention the million or so Iraqi's who have moved out of their country. Sure there are pockets of Iraq that are peaceful, but most American's are looking at the death toll of soldiers and that's a big problem.

I hate the media, but when CNN did that piece Broken Govt., I saw them tweaking their programming a tad, because they see MSNBC eeking up in numbers due their little shift to dare I say....the left.

They still have this bullshit "liberal media" garbage/lie hanging over them. I figure they feel this is a way of presenting what they perceive as balance.

And finally, I think CBS Nightly News is a perfect example of how powerful the left has become in they eyes of the network news. Stupid Katie Couric and her debut week with all republican's (Rush Limbaugh especially)in her so-called "Free Speech" segment killed her numbers in the long run. So many liberals/progressives were so turned-off and didn't turn back in. Who says we can't make a difference?
