Don't you get it...the media will ONLY report negatives re: Dems
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 10:52 PM by linazelle
Otherwise they will muffle us.

They won't report what Conyers is doing.
Nor will they report any positives about Hillary or Kerry...or even mention DU.
They WANT us to look weak, and now divided and to turn on each other.
They come here--I know it--and while they steal our ideas they like seeing us lash out at our own.

They WILL use the massive force of the media to pound ANY dem into mincemeat if they DARE speak up.

I watch the "news" sometimes and I count the remarks and faces they show of Dems vs. Cons. If they show one pic of Kerry or Dean, they show ten RW bastards.

If they air one remark from a CON, they will either show a picture of a Dem without audible remarks coupled with narration by a newsreader who will inevitably utter the words "partisan" no matter what the Dem issue--as if ANY issue from Dems is solely based on partisanship.


I get so tired of this nonsense. It's so blatant, so transparent, you'd think it would be obvious to most people. And until it changes, it's hard to ignore but for god's sake, please TRY. As long as the media goes unchanged, we will waste time chasing lies and misrepresentations and wasting valuable real estate here at DU.

1. CORRECTION!
They'll mention DU in the context of a source for hatemongering. They'll, of course, find the most outlandish, over-the-top post and portray that as business as usual, while omitting that our vigilants will have dealt with the troll long before the story hits the newsstand.

3. Yep, from millions of posts, they cherry pick one that's most radical
and try to discredit this site.
