Will media cover Vets' Rally w/Kerry-Clark-Cleland the way it covered Rove
Edited on Wed Feb-08-06 04:57 PM by blm
at the Federalists' Society?

All the cable networks covered Rove's speech then and again at another conservative meeting.

Cspan isn't even carrying a Campaign rally for over FIFTY Dem candidates, ALL veterans, with accomplished Dem leaders rallying with them.

THIS is how the GOP controls the media storylines. Media doesn't cover the Dem events that make BushInc and the GOP look weak.

You never saw the news coverage in August 2004 of Kerry taking down the Swiftliars in a speech at the Firefighters' Convention, did you? No...... All those firefighters with Kerry.....that would make the Bushboy look too bad.

The NATIONAL MEDIA is the communications arm of BushInc and we need to expose it.

Ignoring this Democratic veteran rally is just another example.

1. Even C-Span was guilty this morning ...
They had on this Bradbury guy talking about the NSA program and the callers were almost entirely Rethuglican. And what was that "emergency" in the middle of his segment that caused me to suffer through reports from some "conservative bookfair" on tomes extolling the virtues of Braindead Leader?

If we lose C-Span to the Thugs, we can REALLY kiss this democracy goodbye...

Suggest Events: Submit a public event that you think C-SPAN should cover:

[email protected]

Edit to add: I know it's too late for this, but I still spam them if I know an event is upcoming and email my complaints if they don't.

4. Cspan got plenty of warning from the candidates' campaigns - something
else is at play here, and I am quite certain it is deliberate to thwart any notion that Democrats are more competent and knowledgeable about military matters.

9. C-SPAN is only fair in that it broadcasts without comment. But...
when it comes to tilting coverage in the GOP's favor, C-SPAN is only marginally better than the MSM.

Robert Parry, one of the last real journalists, has it right. The left MUST create its own news outlets -- just like the Pukes did. That's the only way our point-of-view will ever be equally represented.
