good lord, howie kurtz on CNN thinks the media got the democrats elected to congress

[spanone]

you can't make this shit up.

howard kurtz said that the media's tough stance against the bu$h* war helped get the

democrats elected to congress....

did i miss something?

[NI4NI]

1. well then Howie, it must be the media's fault for not ending the war, right?

what a jackass!

[graywarrior]

2. They did.

Acting like the Bush tools that they are, being despicable, lying like the rat bastards they are, and just being so unlikeable it turned people away from the boss that pays them.

[spanone]

3. that's not how it was framed..he said the media was so against the bu$h war

that's why the public elected democrats...

[graywarrior]

4. OMG, he's delusional.

How do they get these ideas?

[KoKo]

5. Howie...the self-serving ass.....

[regnaD kciN]

6. Oh? I thought it was the DLC...

...and their strategy of "appealing to the center" that brought about the 2006 victory. :sarcasm:

[BurtWorm]

7. You mean he thinks the media are biased?

:wow:

He usually scolds lefties for thinking so.

8. Kurtz is one of the biggest Bush media whores out there.

His show on CNN is/was always a virtual Neo-con fellation-fest.

It's mind boggling that anyone could still be peddling the line that if it wasn't for the media the war would be going great.

9. Normlly, I'd call Howie "Married to the GOP" Kurtz a tool...

... but that would be an insult to tools.

Gee, if the media had a liberal bias, you'd think that they'd be talking about nothing but Mike Huckabee's unconscionably stupid gaffe about Lava soap before the Dominionist... er, Family Research Council.

Instead, I've heard two references to "Hillary's cackle" on pundit TV this morning, and I'm waiting for the first mention of John Edwards's haircut or Obama's "questionable" campaign to appeal to voters of faith.

10. so then conversely the media got the gop elected in 1994,2000, 2002 and 2004.

glad Kurtz is willing to admit the media's culpability.
