How the Republicans are playing the media already - Must SEE!

[mzmolly]

Someone is spreading a rumor the Democrats are planning to mass email major media outlets. Anyone else hear about this?

I feel it's a Republican plan to discount any legit Kerry favor after the debate. This was sent to hundreds of major media outlets.

Subject: Warning: Democrats Plans mass Emails To You Tonight

This is the plans of the Democrats Tonight:

After the debate, we must let the media know who we thought won. We should bombard major networks with our opinions; statements like, "In the debates, I felt I really got to know John Kerry, and I now trust him" or, "the president seemed confused" would be appropriate and effective. In this thread please discuss what type of message we want to send to the media, and how best to send it.

John Kerry needs your help to help control the immediate post debate spin. Your email letters can make the difference. Please share this list with anyone you know who might be willing to help flood the media with :"Kerry was great!" emails.

You will get an email immediately after the debate with instructions. You need a phone or email.

I don't know what it means that the right already knows, but...

2. They'll stop at nothing, will they?

God are they a bunch of sleazebags.

3. It'll be very apparent who "won"

The media will sound like fools if they try to alter the post-debate reality. Everyone is going to watch this debate, unlike 2000.

8. See this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x924801

We're asking to have it stickied so we can be ready.

I see nothing wrong with this action. We KNOW the Republicans will be doing it and we need to have a voice...a very strong and loud voice.

On your mark, get set, game on!

10. I like that thread, but suggesting that someone is putting words in our

mouths is a "difrent storee"

Thanks for the link, I see nothing wrong with this action either.
