Help - am surrounded by Republicans |
|
No one even watched the convention. The watched Bill O'Reilly and just listened to his comments. Bush could send this country right over a cliff and they wouldn't have a clue what was going on until it was too late.
We really need to do something about the media!
I guess I will stick with Lehrer and PBS and Dan Rather. Seems to be the best I can do. I don't have cable.

2. Its a really serious thing |
|
when the news is all slanted.
We aren't any different than countries behind the iron curtin. Or Iraq when all they had was the government channels.

5. True. Cable "News" is WHORIBLE. CNN was being Fox during.... |
|
the Convention. If it weren't for Larry King, I'd swear that I was watching Fox when CNN was on.

6. I agree with you completely. |

When Kerry wins in November, the hatefest on faux will being in earnest. It'll be just like it was with Clinton. Facts will never get in the way of their "reporting." It's really very sad that so many people are walking around clueless when they think they are informed.

I work for a major defense contractor in Colorado Springs - a virtual cesspool of conservatism.

7. I am in TX and feel your pain. Most of the around me-- they don't know, |
|
and they don't WANNA know! Many kind of realize "their" boy is in trouble now but beyond that they don't know anything, or bother to find out.

I may not post much here, but DU has become a refuge from the right wing thinking here in my state.
This site has helped reduced my blood pressure. B-)
Just keep coming here, and you'll feel better.
