Will CNN Etc. Have Phalanxes Of DEMOCRATIC Commentators For RNConvention?
Been watching mostly Cspan... but occassionly ventured into cable news territory.

So many commentators bashing the Democrats...

Do you think they'll have lots of Democrats on to comment on the Republican National Convention?

4. I'm DONE with CNN ... Whores.... They are all whores...
I can't believe CNN has turned SO obviously partisan... they don't even TRY to appear balanced anymore.

5. We must demand that they do
Let's prepare a chart. Who is commenting no these channels? We'll determine they're left wing counterpart and demand they appear. For example, if you use David Brooks to comment on the DNC, the equivalent for the RNC would be Noam Chomsky. Right?

9. This abuse of the air ways should be
what the FCC addresses!

No, all they can talk about is Janet Jackson while our country and our civil rights are down the drain!

12. Of course not.
They will have a fawning phalanx of self-proclaimed Democrats like Tammy Bruce, Chris Matthews, Judy Woodruff and we know whom they are. Maybe they might let a "extreme wacko" or two in for "balance". I do intend on watching the RNC. I hope C-span just shows the show with no spin.

14. Everyone in the media is liberal.
I know, because a freeper told me. He also told me Gay Marriage would destroy the family.

I said, "dude, like that time you got drunk, banged your secretary, and then beat the fuck out of your wife when she complained about it?"

He said, "no, not like that."
