If Obama Wins...Say Goodbye to Big Media Monopoly
I think Democrats have to be pissed off at the usual biased song and dance from the corporate Media for the 3rd election cycle in a row. If Obama wins, I'm hoping he does something to take away the grip the MSM has on perception and allow other voices to be heard and not just the POV of a few networks. If find it hard to believe that the MSM will do their best to destroy Obama, and if he wins, he won't do something to try and change it. Especially when what happened to John Kerry in '04 has changed perceptions about a lot (creation of the political term "swiftboating"). They know this. I think these next two months could be really hard for Obama. He's going to NEED strong showings in all 3 Presidential debates, and so will Biden in the VP debate. Those are the only important events that happen between now and election day.

1. It would be nice if a few rounds of trust-busting

hit the media consolidation that's gone on, but I wouldn't count on it. Not sure any politician has the stones to do something like this these days, unfortunately.

2. The Media is Our Real Opponent In This Race
McCain and Palin would be a joke without the support of the Repiglickin' media!
