1. I was flipping through CNN earlier today and noticed Palin/McCain had free air time.
Didn't see Obama/Biden at all. Then again, I flipped on over to VH1 for a bit, so I dunno if they actually aired any of Obama's rallies today.

2. How do you REALLY feel?
Me too, I'm with you. Along with the fool proof voting machines, we need a red light attached to our TV's that lights up when someone lies.

3. I hope our fellow citizens remember this BLATANT BIAS
Let's hope they remember how very very pro-Republican all the networks have been.

Hope it leaves a deep impression because then they will understand when we try to advocate for the breaking up of the five media monopolies that now rule our airwaves to return to more diverse media ownership.

17. "What Liberal Media?" by Eric Alterman documents the concerted campaign
that right wing foundations have engaged in since the 80's to move our national discourse to the right.

It is an intense multi-faceted campaign, and one of the main techniques of right wingers is to "play the ref." They accuse the reporters of a liberal bias to get them to bend farther to the right to "make up for it."

I was also repulsed by the obvious campaign in 2000 to make fun of Gore as a dork and promote the candidacy of the buffoon from the Bush Dynasty.

And during these Bush years they've allowed themselves to be directed by the Bush administration. They've accepted curbs to what can and can't be shown on air regarding the war being conducted in our name, and promoted the administration's perspective even to the point of using news clips provided ready to roll by the administration itself.

The consolidated media has become the compliant media. You'd never know we the people owned the airwaves.

18. We do own the airwaves, but the owners of big media control them.
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 08:15 PM by w4rma
The owners are by far nearly all very wealthy Republicans. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them thought that Obama killed his grandmother for some extra free air time (that he apparently didn't get). They need to be broken up and more strongly regulated. Also, PBS and NPR need to be funded and treated like Britian does for the BBC. Make PBS and NPR some serious competition to big money media.

You'll see Barack Obama everyday for the next 8 years.

Take heart.

7. The most annoying part of TV
in general are the 'pundits' and announcers who tell us what we are seeing and what we've been hearing. I could maybe understand that in the time of radio....but really I don't need to be told what I am seeing. I can see and hear for myself. Often, while watching sports (Lakers) I just watch without sound. And when listening....I don't even watch, know what I mean?

Don't worry, with any luck we wont have to see stinky old McCain or his airheaded sidekick for much longer. HOpefully, after tomorrow they will just fade away.

12. I wonder about the same thing!
So many newspapers have endorsed Obama all over so what's up with cable media? I am sick and tired of seeing McCain/Palin. Right now they're on MSNBC. I just want to see Obama. I hope that CNN, FOX, MSNBC have low ratings after Obama is our President! Except for Keith and Rachel, of course!

:grr:

13. Rage against the machine!
Let's turn our anger into action - this election isn't about these bastards -its in OUR hands now!

We are the ground game Barack is counting on - lets do everything in our power to GET OUT OUR VOTE - fuck them!

Knock on doors, make calls, donate money, drive folks to the polls - do anything and everything we can to make this election a landslide victory. Its not just about the media, or Obama for that matter - its about a Democratic President, filibuster proof congress, and the Supreme Fucking Court!

Lets fundamentally change America right now and change it forever by giving Democrats the kind of victory that will move our nation forward.

We can and we must

YES. WE. CAN.

15. How many Americans spend time watching cable news? Answer: not many.
How many Democrats and Liberals get all pissed and bent out of shape about cable media?
Answer: A lot (that's the technical term for it).

Solution: Stop watching cable media or news that pisses you off.
