1. MSRNC is no better.
Stay away from the TV, and get your news from print or online sources.

2. you should have watched ABC promoting W Ketchup
implying that if you buy Heinz ketchup, you support the Kerry campaign.

So, they showed a bottle of the W ketchup, saying that W actually stands for George Washington.

F*cking morons. :crazy:

3. If ABC would use www.snopes.com on that Heinz ketchup info.
Edited on Wed Jul-07-04 08:13 AM by Lex
they'd find out that Mrs. Kerry doesn't own the Heinz Company anymore.

Dumbasses!

The "W Ketchup" thing is an idea borne from not knowing that basic information about Mrs. Kerry's ownership of Heinz.

hahaha! See this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/kerry/heinz.asp

9. I just e-mailed ABC and told them what uninformed,
biased fools they are.

Go to their webpage and look for Good Morning America and contact them!

Idiots!

11. I emailed them, too. Here it is:
Dear GMA:
I was very suprised by your promotion of W ketchup. It seems that journalists have a very hard time checking the facts:

1. Heinz Ketchup has NOTHING to do with the Kerry campaign
link: http://www.heinz.com/jsp/presidential_statement.pdf

2. Heinz Ketchup is actually donating to the GOP
link: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,117678,00.html
It seems that even the pro-Bush FoxNews is aware of that.

Please do the American people a favor and abstain from disseminating such misleading information. We already get enough of that from the White House.
Thanks.

4. Let the morons boycott Heinz ketchup
The Heinz corporation, the one that makes the ketchup, is actually a significant REPUBLICAN donor.

So if the winger-morons organize boycotts against Heinz ketchup, they are hurting one of their own corporate sponsors.


:eyes:

5. Democrats need to start writing letters to to the editor
to complain about instances of biased or unfair media coverage!

Just switching channels won't change anything.

7. No guys-we've got to call them on this BS---
It's one of the reasons they tilted to the right to begin with-the GOP knew how to play them like fiddles and they didn't hear any opposition from our side about it. We've got to watch this bs and we've got fire off angry e-mails every time we see outrageous shit like this. Just turning off our TV's won't make them stop. We know the truth but there are a lot of folks out there that don't and they're not ever going to get the truth unless Democrats demand that our side be more fairly represented and the only we can do that is to bitch each and every single time we see this stuff.

8. My email to CNN after a comment made by one of their "journalists"
I've about had it with CNN. This morning Bill Hemmer brought up the issue of John Kerry being a flip flopper. The least you could do, to show lack of bias, is to also point out Mr. Bush's flip flops. Of course, then you would have to hire real journalists, instead of the staff of White House mouth pieces you currently employ.

Let me help. Check this out.

When will we see a story on this?

The only good thing I can say about CNN is that you aren't quite as bad as ABC/CBS/NBC & the worst offender of them all, FOX. However, that is not a compliment!

10. Very Good.
See if you can find James Carville's e-mail and send it to him. He and Begalia are the only two on that show wiling to call shrub a fraud.
