EQUAL TIME:: when do the Democrats get to respond on TV?

[oc2002]

The President and the White House demanded all the networks carry the so called 'News Conferance'..which was more of a monolog and a speach addressing the nation than it was a real press conferance.

Now when does Kerry/Democrats get the same network access with the equal time rules?

1. Why respond at all, let Bush hang himself out to dry

All he has to do is go on TV and open his trap and he looks bad, why respond at all?

2. true. I was just wondering where was the equal time ussualy given..

to the other party after a speach by the President to the other party?

Equal Time?

Democratic Response..

Everytime Clinton was on the air, there was given air time to the Republicans response..

3. that's the state of the union address

They don't usually do it for press conferences

4. right, but that was more of a 'Address the Nation' with some questions...

at the end....

That is, this was a very sneaky way of using the media to get a free-be air time for political gain! While at the same time not give the Democrats a chance to rebutle!

Stupid Dems at the DNC are too slow to make this a issue.
