Media already saying Kerry's campaign is adrift, negative.

[Cascadian]

I am starting to hear it and I am starting to here John Kerry is already going negative in the media. Why can't these media harlots stop being so biased towards Bush? I even heard this statement that John Kerry's campaign is adrift on part of the Tavis Smiley Show on NPR of all places.

Man. The media makes me puke sometimes. :puke:

1. This is the part where DUers make a class project of blasting the media

To quote the general in Mars Attacks!: Kill! Kill! Kill!

2. Nightline is dong a balanced job tonight

but overall you are correct, hence why I usually don't even turn the idiot box on

[A_Possum]

3. they're also saying Bush was vague and unpersuasive

so keep your chin up, little soldier

[sub.theory]

4. It's not going to end

At least not until we humiliate the corporate media on November 2nd and they are left eating a heaping portion of crow.

They make me sick too. :puke:

11. they're criminally run organizations

which conspired and acted against national interest and safety....the men who own/operate the mass media need trial and execution....this aint whining, it's just cold hard fact.

6. the media itself is adrift, soulless, negative...

Is it not obvious? Why to even begin to count on them as a possible ally ...is something escaping my limited grasp? The press are lazy and clueless to what the people actually think...

8. It's called DISTRACTION

If WE stay focused, the campaign is focused because WE are the ones who talk to our neighbors and get them to the polls. God I wish everybody would shut the damned tv off if they can't control their roller coaster emotional binges. Nothing personal, just sick of this.

9. what's particularly galling

Is that they take Swift Boat Veteran's lies and publicize them, thus diverting media time that the American people are entitled to for discussion of the issues.

Then when this forces Kerry into a response mode (which is necessarily negative), his campaign has now become "negative."

How does one deal with such dysfunctionality?

10. Charlie Rose is one of the worst offenders.

The chattering class's chatterers were chatting that up like mad tonight. An ABC News analyst in particular made the bold statement that perhaps the media should pay more attention to details of the candidates' policy proposals rather than their youthful indiscretions--then proceded to dwell on Kerry's anti-war demonstrations.

12. I'm not worried about it after seeing them in Springfield at midnight.

60 days left to get it done. Do some partying, go see Springsteen, etc. and help the cause. Hasta La Vista, El Chimpo!!:toast:

13. That's only because he hasn't gone negative enough.

If he really pours on the negativity, the media will love him for it, and so will the voters. I know this is true, because I read it here every day.

[K8-EEE]

14. We Need To Help....CHALLENGE THE BULLSHIT!

Seriously....we really need to NOT let them get away with it, truth squad time, DEMAND FAIR COVERAGE!!

If you see something totally biased, post it here with a link. GIVE EM HELL DU-ERS!

16. I've said this a few times here

But the media is like a roving pack of jackals in search of prey.

If you don't want the pack to feed on you, then divert it to better prey.

17. The election will be win on the ground. Get Out The Vote!

we have 48%, they have 48%.

whoever gets the grass roots activists excited the most to get out there and convince others to go to the polls is going to win.

this election wil be local. local political organizations and people will have to convince their neighbors to pull the lever this november.

[0rganism]

18. Fuck the media, go negative no holds barred.

Kerry's campaign won't do any worse than bush's did with the negativity. And unlike Kerry, bush/Cheney have some serious skeletons in their collective closet.

[MrBenchley]

19. Terrible idea...

There's no reason to vote FOR the Texas Souffle....Kerry needs to keep hitting the reasons WHY voters should vote for him.

20. It won't matter what the voodoo spin-doctors say IF. . . .

. . .Kerry and Edwards keep putting on performances like I saw TWICE tonight on CSPAN. It was a huge crowd of around 10,000 somewhere in Ohio. They were relaxed and exuded confidence, and at the same time went after * & Cheney calmly but at the same time MERCILESSLY. God! it made me feel good!!! I needed that after the avalanche of lies, hatred, and that dark oily evil from the 'hate pit' in New York.
