Kerry supporters heads up on media tricks/counter efforts..
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 05:43 PM by blm
We all know how the media downplayed support for Kerry all of last year. They didn't cover important positive developments for his campaign while spotlighting any moment they could twist into a negative, mostly horserace and process news. For example, not one news outlet covered the Firefighters endorsement of Kerry even though post 9-11 that endorsement was THE prize for ANY campaign.

I am sure the omission was quite deliberate, as was their many months of labeling his campaign as dead, while ignoring the growing support on the ground by the actual voters.

Well, they are at it again, as per robbedvoter's post about the deliberate editing of the transcript of Clark's CNN appearance - they edited out his remarks supportive of a Kerry presidency.

We see it again with their version of Kerry's vacation time. Spun to make him appear clumsy and indecisive.

Some folks at bartcop would like to bring back the daily efforts aimed at the media that MWO was so good in pinpointing and sounding the alarm.

I'll repost their finds and calls for actions here. No more 2000s.
