What is this talk of Randi Rhodes' that the BIG THREE Networks...
CBS, NBC, and ABC are going to give "Full Coverage" to the Rethuglican's convention?

This means that they will get more than one hour night like we are getting. This MUST be a mistake.

Please respond.

4. I think it's supposed to be the same, unless they've made a change,
Here's an article about NBC's announcement of three hours per convention: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/07/09/nbc_gives_3_hours_to_convention_coverage/

5. That's gotta be wrong
That's just so blatant.

Its beyond unacceptable, and must be in violation of some "equal access" or "equal coverage" law.

It can't be true.

7. That would be my guess 24 by 7 Kerry hate speech and not one
media whore mentioning the Kerry bashing.

8. If so, they should have to make up the difference...
by giving the DNC an amount of free airtime for ads or other programming equal to what expanded coverage they give the RNC.

Of course, this is Randi... she has a lot of "theories" and just LOVES to hear herself talk.

Personally, I'm really getting tired of Randi... all she has done is bitch about the facilities during the convention, and she spends an awful lot of time bitching about AA's studio and how nobody loves her as much as they love Al Franken. She never listens to callers, just until they trigger one of her little rants that's all about HER and how SHE was there for the Florida debacle or how her dead lesbian sister's daughter did this or that.

I used to enjoy listening to her since about the first of the year, but after seven months, her schtick is wearing very thin. The Alan Colmes radio show is starting to look pretty good...

Randi Fans: I know her heart is in the right place, and sometimes it's necessary to get strident, but since the shift to AAR, she seems to spend 25% of the time bitching about some slight or inconvenience. Lighten up Randi, you're getting paid six figures to sit and rant four hours a day.

9. The repug whore media doesn't have to do anything to make up
for it. They already do 24 by 7 Kerry bashing and whoreing for the shrub, it will just be an extention.

10. We Need Randi
All the AAR can't be the same. Colmes is looking good? Aaagh!

I really can't wait to hear from Mike Malloy.

11. Truthseekers unite!
Damn I miss Mike, I can't wait to hear him on my radio instead of over my slow ass computer for once!
