Coverage RNC vs. DNC: Anybody notice an imbalance?
Fox started "covering" the RNC Friday night before it started. The morning news, Sunday prior to the Olympic broadcast--at every chance--I'm seeing them post images and sound bytes to influence people's opinions about the RNC.

The local NBC affiliate just showed McCain blasting Michael Moore, a crowd of Bushistas, and protestors being arrested at Madison Square Garden, followed by Bush with a bullhorn somewhere lying about something. During the DNC, you definitelyd did NOT get any coverage of Kerry, or crowds for Kerry or even the speakers at the DNC on the local morning news.

Of course, the record breaking march through NYC was not covered--just the arrest of protestors.

The media is ridiculously biased and this is just another of my many rants on the subject.

1. Well, this is what I noticed...
We had wall to wall rethugs "commenting" on our convention from day one on all channels. RNC? Not a Dem to be found. Nothing but cheerleading Republican guests and their happy media whores.

:nuke:
