Which 'Journalists' or TV Anchors/reporters will loose their jobs when ...

[StandUpGuy]

Kerry is elected.

Will these bush shills keep their jobs or will they get sent packing as well.

I think anyone on Fox surprisingly enough will be spared.

First to go 5 min after CNN calls it for Kerry...

Paula Zahn

[dennis4868]

1. they will all....

keep their job and begin their hard hitting investigation after a 4 year rest.

[markbark]

2. I've got a better idea.....

why not close down Fox and arrest Murdoch and his entire band of propagandists as "enemy combatants".

Anyone who complains must obviously be "anti American" and "want the terrorists to win"

(taking my tongue OUT of my cheek now....)

The scary part is... the USPATRIOT Act would allow this.
Pehaps the Repugs need to be taught that when you hand a loaded gun to someone, you'd better be DAMN sure of where they're going to point it. :evilgrin:

3. Heheheh

[KansDem]

14. Works for me...

After all, weren't Tokyo Rose and Ezra Pound tried for treason?

[terrya]

4. Not a reporter, but seeing Dennis (Bush lapdog) lose his show: SWEET!

That would make my day. :-)

[carolinayellowdog]

5. They were RNC spokesmodels before *, and will continue to be

after Kerry is elected. The bad news is that relentless rightwing bias in the news media will continue; the good news is that fewer and fewer people are fooled.

[StandUpGuy]

6. I agree some are

But Paula Zahn was an attempt by CNN to appeal to RW viewers that FOX had begun to monopolize.

Once the true American Values are revealed at the polls I think a lot of these cheerleaders will appear very fringe.

[rinsd]

7. None....

Why would anyone get fired because of an administration change?

[senseandsensibility]

8. If only it worked that way

But what happened when the whoremedia was proven wrong about their WMD coverage and their Iraq cheer leading? Uhhmm....can't remember? That's because nothing happened.:mad: I think that's a good indication of what will happen if Kerry wins. Their attitude will be "Kerry won by a tiny margin, it's a divided country, no mandate, etc., etc...." In the meantime, they will start to rediscover their "reporting" skills, and use them to eviscerate Kerry on a daily basis.

9. They will retain their jobs and become

shills for the new administration. Do you really think these assholes care who's in charge as long as they can keep their fame and money?

[senseandsensibility]

12. Their bosses

(corporate owners) care VERY MUCH who's in charge. The media corporations get tax cuts from repuke administrations. That's why they shill for *. They did not shill for Clinton, remember? And they will not shill for Kerry. You can take that to the bank.

[skippysmom]

10. They'll keep their jobs

but now that a Dem is in office, they'll finally decide they need to be more critical of the presidency.

[Tim4319]

11. Fox News

Ollie North should be arrested!
Sean Hannity needs to be "De-Roved"
Bill O'Reilly needs to be dropped off in the middle of the South Bronx and made to walk all the way back to Long Island. Oh yeah, without bodyguards!

[lpbk2713]

13. Wolfie is due for a career change.

And I'm sure he'll get one after the Kerry/Edwards victory.

[shraby]

15. The best way for Kerry to

keep the media off his back when he wins is to open investigations into the Bush administration's wrong doing..Cheney energy papers, etc. The best defense is a good offense and besides that, the American public deserves to know all the things that were classified that shouldn't have been.

[senseandsensibility]

18. But you're

thinking like a winner. Can't have that in the Democtatic party. No, I'm afraid it will be all "let's look to the future", and let bygones be bygones. One thing the Democrats (including Kerry) seem genetically incapable of doing is playing offence. I'm as big a Kerry fan as anyone, but that's the truth. Too bad; if they'd learn to play hardball, I truly believe that most of this right wing * would stop.

[zbdent]

16. The election of Kerry will result in record numbers of new hires

A huge percentage of them Right Wing Radio/TV hosts or newspaper columnists.

[linazelle]

17. Why would anybody lose their media job because Kerry's elected?

The ownership won't change. They will hound Kerry and Edwards to no end.

[StandUpGuy]

19. The Ownership was bribed this time by Colin Powell's Son

Micheal.

Media deregulation was the payoff.

They might get rid of the cheerleaders as a peace offer to the new bosses in the WH.


edit: original said brother not Son

[linazelle]

20. Micheal Powell is Colin Powell's son, not brother....

Perhaps they will appoint someone new to the FCC but that alone won't undo the damage done to the media.

[StandUpGuy]

21. yea my bad

never mind.

[Kickin_Donkey]

22. Sadly, not a one.

n/t

[Joanne98]

23. In the print media

80% of the editors are Bush Family (banking/oil/defense) operatives. They gotta go for sure. But what about the OWNERS?

[Baltimoreboy]

25. LOL

Nice scientific stat you have there.

[bobbieinok]

24. none - they will all attack Kerry 24/7

[SemperEadem]

26. none of them

they will just retool to go on the attack just like they did with Clinton.
