*** Let's Do A Test ***
Edited on Thu Sep-11-08 05:03 PM by FlyingSquirrel
First, if you haven’t already, read this post which has received (so far) 155 recs:

Do you want to help Obama get his message across? THEN DO THIS

It requires that you create a YouTube account - something I did for the first time today - so you can rate the videos.


Then watch this video which has received 103 recs:

TYT: General Wesley Clark's Son RIPS Palin (Ear-Muff The Kids)


On YouTube it has a much different headline: “Should The Press Have A Bias?”

In order to rate it you must follow the YouTube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK-w3PZrTOE

(also add it to your favorite videos)


Don’t worry about the fact that there’s a little bit of profanity in the 2:28 long video, the press can work around that or bleep it out if necessary. They’d never show the whole thing anyway.


If debbierlus’s idea works, Wes Clark’s son should be showing up as a figure in the MSM and we should either see a discussion about whether you could randomly pick a person and come up with a better (and less dangerous) presidential candidate than Palin,
or a discussion about whether the press should have at least some kind of bias when the truth is obvious – preferably both.


As of right now this video has 5 stars with 233 ratings and 5,029 views on YouTube.

Let’s see what we can do by the end of the day Friday.

Forward it to your family/friends too, etc. (And of course kick & rec this post)


Thanks in advance for your participation!

Seriously, I'd think with 155 recs on the rating-up-videos idea and 103 recs on the video, there would be more interest in this test.

Or were people were just rec'ing the idea for OTHER people to do and not themselves?

C'mon DU, let's show a little muscle and see what happens.

6. Thanks.. I'm really wondering if the rate-up thing really can work
or if it's just a waste of time because the MSM is corrupt and will not cover the race fairly no matter what we do.
