Wanna bet? Wanna bet?
I see not much coverage coming Monday on the Kerry motion filings. Maybe Keith Olbermann but not much in other MSM. We'll hear again those pontifications about 'under the radar' and 'too little too late'. Of course Faux News and their ilk will come out with 'sore loser' and 'he's already conceded'. I really don't see too many ripples in the mainstream pond over this.

6. Yep, and when they get back all they will be talking about
are the upcoming elections in Iraq and the Inaguaration (sp?).

Not Ohio.

2. I agree with you. Nothing will happen
just like nothing has happened about the host of scandals that this administration has overseen. Bush will be inaugurated and we will all be stuck with him for another 4 years.

4. Correcto. But the smash&grab fetus will be front & center.

5. The Bush Media will play it thus:
"See, we told you about him ... and here's another FLIP FLOP just to prove it."

If it gets ANY media coverage at all, that is.


:hippie:

8. Expect NOTHING from CM (Corporate Media). It's all grassroots baby.

9. That's what's gonna have to happen
We need to find a way to scare the media into thinking they're unimportant. They don't report the news. They either suck up to their corporate masters or present "entertaining" horror stories. The American media is a disgrace!

10. Saw David Lytel on C-Span a few days ago. He did this, started anyway.

It should be available still on their home page. He laid it out at a press conference and said that with the internet and news aggregators, the CM was losing its influence even faster than the loss triggered by cable TV. It was great. Maybe they'll get the message when their ratings are cut in 1/2 again in the next couple of years. Keep the faith.

On edit: Check this out. Synchronicity!
