Yeeeha! Inside politics is all Dean all the time today!

[Egnever]

Thats my boy!

[Demobrat]

1. Yeah, but

can Judy Woodruff (it is her, right?) say his name without looking like she just sucked a lemon? Inquiring cube rats want to know.

[w13rd0]

3. I look forward to her having to say "President Dean"...

...in 2005. Hey Judy! Bite me...

[_NorCal_D_]

2. Ah, yes.

The supposed 'liberal media' wants to give Dean as much air time as possible. :(

[JohnKleeb]

4. Welcome to how a Kucinich supporter is

btw I saw he was your second choice that is DK.

[_NorCal_D_]

5. Absolutely

He is a great candidate. :)

[JohnKleeb]

10. Its tough

but hey his book is doing well. I am ever the opotemist.

[killbotfactory]

6. Dean is newsworthy, hence, he gets the focus.

What else do you call a candidate who was an asterisk at the beginning of the year who went on, despite sever criticism in the media and elsewhere, to become the biggest democratic fundraiser and built the largest grassroots campaign of the season and overtaking, or coming close to overtaking, local favorites in NH and IOWA?

Dean has earned his claim to fame.

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

7. I just love

how people rationalize that Dean gets in the news because the GOP wants him to win. They completely ignore that Dean creates news--he's first to do this, then next week he's the first to do that--and it goes on and on. The times when he's not the first to do something, his opponents put him in the news by creating drama where there should be none. And all it does is help Dean. Go figure.

[Egnever]

8. Yes he has!

This stuff was not handed to him by any means the guy is a work horse. He has been going non stop practicaly for months now. I dont know when he sleeps.

[snoochie]

21. months?

isn't it almost two years now?

[slinkerwink]

9. I agree!!!

He deserves the nomination, definitely....

[dajabr]

11. Additionally...

If he's being pumped up by the Press, why are there so many seemingly "negative" articles available for posting here by supporters of other candidates?

:shrug:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. Shhh.

Fantasy world in progress...

[AP]

13. If it's Dean v Bush, suddenly only Bush will be newsworthy...

...unless Dean makes news by sounding like he's jeopardizing national security, or turning off black voters, or unless it's to show that he did something that helped capital and hurd non-health care employees back in VT. Suddenly, that will be the only news you hear about.

He who lies down with the media whores will wake up with syphilis, rather than a vicotry on the day after election day next November.

[helleborient]

15. Earning media attention is "lying down with the whores"? (n/t)

[w4rma]

16. AP, you gotta stop applying that psedo-logic so haphazardly.

What you are saying could apply to any successful candidate. It would backfire on you if folks believed you and your candidate started to win.

[AP]

19. What I'm saying is...

...people here like to say, "no that's not media whoring" when something that obviously is media whoring works to their candidate's advantage.

There's a danger in treating it like it's legitimate journalism today when you KNOW that tomorrow you're going to have to be aruging that Inside Politics and all the rest have no legitimacy once they start whoring for Republicans (which is inevitable).

[w4rma]

20. But, you've run to the other extreme

and seem to be crying 'wolf' all the time.

IMHO, a properly working media would NOT ignore Dean, considering what he's accomplished in the past few months. That's not saying that big media is working properly, it is saying that this can't be used as an example of how big media is ideologically biased or broken. And I do think that big media is ideologically biased towards corporatism (as I think you know from my previous posts on the subject).

[AP]

22. What's the opposite of crying wolf? A Pollyanna? I think I provide balance

and sorely needed perspective.

[roguewolf5]

17. good call

The media ae like life sucking leaches. They may be beneficial in sucking out your poision, but dont forget they are also sucking out your blood.

If Dean's not too careful the media watchdogs may end up a foe instead of friend.

[sandnsea]

12. Jeanne Shaheen was on

How do you get all Dean all the time?

[DemDogs]

18. I thought you all thought Judy Woodruff was dogmeat

except I guess when she features your guy

[FrenchieCat]

23. It is so obvious.......

considering that the other Frontrunner gets no coverage...not even his name his mentioned, ever. He came in on top of Edwards by 7% in the new SC poll......but not a word.....can I say it? Wes Clark.

It's amazing to me all that the Press attention and the talking away of the Dean Flag flap by the mediawhores. If they wanted to they could have buried Dean with it....but they don't want to bury him....mmm....mmmm... Wonder why?

[whirlygigspin]

24. This is all a plot to divert attention away from...

Lyndon B. LaRouche!

you know it, we all know it.

It's all being controlled by Queen Elizabeth II
you know what i'm talking about, don't look innocent,
we all know what's going on here...

My phone is being monitered, stop looking at me,

Oh yeah, we know what's going on...
