Is anyone tracking the amount of campaign coverage?

[danimich1]

I simply cannot believe how often I turn on MSNBC and they have a McCain or Palin rally on live. Is there somewhere to check the time allotted to these campaigns by news station?

Obviously I don't have the news on 24 hours per day, so it could just be a coincidence. It would just be nice to know for sure.

1. It's sickening

2. There is no equal time rule anymore.

I've heard complaints already that, if the Democrats get in power, they will try to restrict the rights of RW outlets. This refers to reinstating the equal time provisions.

6. It's called The Fairness Doctrine and it NEEDS to be reinstated, the GOP are TERRIFIED of it being

Reinstated and they're terrified for good reason, because the GOP's free Infomercials courtesy of the Republican sympathetic media whores would end.

The Media Whores by law would be forced to give Democrats equal time....EVERY time.

3. Media Whores help McCain out because McCain can't afford to buy 30 minutes of airtime like Obama can

Because McCain can't match Obama's TV airtime buys, the media whores in TYPICAL whore fashion decide to help Grandpa out by giving him free airtime to babble.

4. Right. nt

5. In the very near future, something needs to be done about this, like prohibiting it

The Media Whores need neutering, and in the VERY near future, there needs to be consequences to stamp out their blatant whoring for Republicans during elections, they've been pulling this shit since at least 1996, probably even before that, except I can't remember.
