Is The Media/"Establishment" Now Picking Our VP Candidate?
Like last night in the debate when Barack & Hillary were asked about being running mates?

Goddamn, I am sick of this shit.

3. I'm excited by the idea! What I'm sick of is all the wailing and knashing of teeth over "the media"
People can and do make up their own minds about candidates. The media has been relentless in their unadulterated hatred of Hillary Clinton and yet she continues to do well. Candidates sink or swim on their ability to get the message out, how they handle themselves and how effective they are at dealing with adversity. Blaming the media is like blaming the sun when your ice cream melts.

5. Oh, I'm Sure The Media Is As Pure As The Driven Snow
And this is all on the "up and up."

4. More simply
ask dean and others to defang these faux media moderatots and get some decent, rational people in there. Our own Democrats ran stellar telethons once(starring HHH himself) and did wonders without the corporate stooges clowning around and pontificating. get rid of the GOP crony pygmies. They foul the air. This would take a combination of media reform and campaign and primary reform and would be worth it to those of us trying to see our candidates through the humiliating filter of the media mixed with over-controlling campaign caution and party tailoring everything for a slick and cheap avenue to the fall.
