42. Look, I've said this before and I'll say it again--
sure, it's all fine and well if we turn our TV's to C-Span or PBS but remember-we're fighting for the hearts, souls, and minds of the undecided out there and they're more than likely going to watch this convention as it's filtered through the media outlets like CNN & MSNBC & yes, unfortunately, Faux. Turning off and tuning them out may make you happier but it doesn't stop the blatant bias going on in the media today. The only way we're going to be able to stop that is to fight them with everything we've got. And how can you possibly know what they're up to if you're not watching? I've called or e-mailed CNN & MSNBC every single day of this convention and I encourage each of you to do the same. I have seen a difference this week-yeah, they're still drinking the kool-aid but at least they haven't been quite as blatant as they usually are. The Undecided don't get just how biased the media is like we do. And it's our job to make the press accountable and to make them do their jobs fairly and accurately so that we can reach those undecideds. It's the only way we're going to win. We can't depend on the average person to see through the bias and the bullshit. So it's up to us to watch--no matter how sick it makes us--so we can complain LOUDLY and demand that they do a better job and stop the smears.
