Kerry calling out the Media on Schultz

[Botany]

Go John!

No liberal media.

Katrina pulled back the curtain ..... and their was no damn wizard there.

It is like he reading a DU post

[stevedeshazer]

1. This kind of post drives me to the edge

Dude, what the hell are you talking about?

[BOSSHOG]

4. I empathize

However, in this case, I am listening as well. If I come across a post with little information I just move on. However, Senator Kerry is being interviewed by Ed Schultz on AAR and he talked about how after Katrina, the veneer of the lying bush administration is gone. He also trashed duke cunningham and talked about his bill introduced today which would strip any congressman or senator of a pension if they were convicted of specific crimes (I don't have them all here to list) but you get the gist. He did very well.

[stevedeshazer]

8. Thanks for the explanation, BOSSHOG

I get it now.

[emulatorloo]

9. Schultz puts up archives -- and there is still a stream from SF that's an

hour behind

19. I'll check it out.... I was busy listening to Randi.

[emulatorloo]

25. It was good - Kerry outta have his own radio show. EOM

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Correction: Shultz isn't on AAR

[BOSSHOG]

11. Thanks!

I listen to 1350 AM out of New Orleans. Ed follows Franken who follows Springer on that channel. I guess I don't understand how radio programming works, I'm just glad to have it, even if it doesn't come in very well. We are about 50 miles northeast of NOLA.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. That happens here too

We have Stephanie Miller and than other AAR shows. We used to have a local program but not anymore. :shrug: It all depends on the local affiliate I guess on who they play. Schultz is on the same network as Stephanie Miller. I can't remember the name now. :shrug:

[Botany]

16. Jones Network

Stephanie :loveya: Miller

[mmonk]

18. Yep

the Jones Network who has the best radio show and host pictured above (Steph).

[FredStembottom]

31. Steph, my joy.

I am amazed and eternally grateful that the funniest show on radio is fighting for us!

Live long and propagate.

:pals:

[blm]

36. Steph's not hard on the eyes, either. Wish she'd do more TV shows.

[FredStembottom]

40. Aw...I'd just miss 'em if she did.

Never had that new-fangled "cable".:blush:

[Katherine Brengle]

37. That's the spirit Johnny!!! Kerry-Gore '08! (a girl can dream...) n/t

[BOSSHOG]

2. "There isn't even a wizard behind the curtain."

Running down the list of "stunning failures" by this administration. Yes - Go John!

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Yay!

[Kerry fan]

7. Thanks.

[blm]

6. Kerry and Slaughter have been raging about the media lately - glad to hear

some Dems are realizing who is protecting BushInc. and why the Dem message is rarely heard.

[seabeyond]

13. yes yes yes yes they have been. well knew kerry and dean

but slaughter i didnt know. good for them all. yep. i like that kerry

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Slaughter has been doing so great!

She's awesome. :) We're lucky to have her I think. Same with Kerry and Dean.

[seabeyond]

21. high five

comin your way :thumbsup:

[KittyWampus]

20. Kerry & Slaughter are smart cookies!

[Strawman]

17. stop saying "no liberal media"

and call it what it is instead of being defensive and saying what it isn't. We're always having this argument on their terms.

We have a cowardly corporate media. Cowed by the right wing noise machine. And afraid to rock the boat and buck their corporate conglomerate masters with real journalism.

We have a chickenshit media basically.

[blm]

22. heheh...chickenshit media works for me.

.

[karynnj]

29. He actually did make the point about who owned the stations

He is going furthur than ANY mainstream politician, other than possibly Dean.

Also - I wish more Democrats would borrow his Wizard of Oz metaphor, which he has used since September when he started referring to Katrina pulling back the curtain so people could see the incompetence of the Bush administration. Now he has it down to the cute and effective sound bite that "Katrina pulled back the curtain and there wasn't even a wizard there."

[blm]

34. I wish Dean would hit media more as head of the DNC - I also wish he would

work at TRAINING a new batch of spokespeople for the network appearances.

The old Clinton era DNC Dems were only schooled in defending Clinton and know very little about current issues or other Democratic lawmakers and their positions.

[lostnfound]

30. Cowardly corporate media works for me. nt

[Katherine Brengle]

38. Amen! n/t

[JudyM]

23. Excerpt: Michael Brown is symbolic of ...the administration's incompetence

Wolfowitz re: welcoming of troops with flowers
DeLay re: ethics
Bush re: mission accomplished

More after school programs cut
More Americans in poverty
More pensions cut

Tried to fake that the issue was Iraq and not Afganistan

[JudyM]

24. More: they want to sucker us into their game where we have to keep

responding to the way they set the issues, so we keep saying no to this and no to that. We have to show our agenda and say yes to it.

He said he learned during the '04 election that their 'megaphone' is a lot bigger than ours. That while they protest about the 'liberal' media, within their circles they have been known to say that they own the WH, congress and the media.

[blm]

28. He said that WH claims to own the media? Whoa.... I hope other Dems pick

up on that and start USING it.

[globalvillage]

26. Podcast is up

http://audio.wegoted.com/podcasting/20906Kerry.mp3

Wow. I just listened.
Sen Kerry is fired up.

[Coexist]

27. thanks for that link - he was great

very well spoken.

[HootieMcBoob]

32. Thanks for posting that

Kerry did an excellent job. If he had been that straightforward in the campaign he would have beaten Bush in a landslide.

He has it in him, there's no doubt about it. I don't however trust that, if given another chance to run for President, we wouldn't find him slipping into that "swift boat liar ignoring" campaign mode that was so frustrating to us the last time around. I don't trust that he wouldn't hire and begin taking the advice of another soft, no fight, out of touch consultant like Bub Shrum.

We have new models for Democrats to use: Paul Hackett, Brian Schweitzer, Wes Clark and Howard Dean. The old days of triangulation and the DLC shooting their party in the foot have got to end.

[blm]

33. The person who exposes the GOP control of media and voting machines will

be the only Dem who CAN win in 2008.

BTW...check the research forum.... Kerry did fight back on swiftliars and even did so in his speech to Firefighters Convention - media chose to not cover it - only Cspan had it. Reserach forum has a thread chronicling the response. You'll be disgusted how little coverage media gave to the response.

How many times do ANY of our Dems speak out in tough terms against BushInc and how many times do you hear discussion of it in the media?

[TankLV]

39. Which results in Kerry did nothing.

I agree with you, Kerry WAS speaking out on it - but until and unless it is widely disseminated, I, like many others, are left with the memory of KERRY DOING NOTHING. Sorry to say it, but that is the memory most of us have of it all.

If a tree falls in the woods...

[blm]

41. Honestly - if more Dems BACKED HIM UP when he spoke out the way Repubs do

for Bush no matter how WRONG Bush was, it would have helped. It would help ALL Dems right NOW and that is the point of the thread. Dems need to be FORCED into the dissemination process for sheer survival.

As much as one can be helped when the media and the voting machines are controlled by the GOP - but if we don't take on that battle now, what the hell will happen in the next two elections?

Seriously - what else IS MORE IMPORTANT? Chopping our guys even when you know it's the media distorting every aspect of their positions and their character?

Do what you will - I think Kerry attacking the media PUBLICALLY is needed.
