OK, when is MSM going to really cover this? |
|
Will it be during the recount? During recount if numbers start to flip? During recount if they don't flip? During Arnebeck's lawsuit when he presents the proof? If Conyers and others challenge the certification?

Hold their corporately-owned whore feet to the fire. We've made things like this happen in the past. We can do it now.

2. we don't need/want msm |
|
They have missed the boat and alternative media are going to steal their thunder on this one.
Well, at least this way, without msm, the coverage won't doublethink the public into misinterpreting everything that happens

10. "we don't need/want msm" Now There I Will Surely Disagree |
|
If you look at thread after thread that shows people spending countless hours searching for any, just any tidbit of MSM coverage, and the desperation of when it will break, I think it is CLEAR to see that the majority of us Need them, Want them, are Crying out for them, and are ready to put our heads in our hands for a good cry out of frustration that we have not yet achieved that objective.

3. It's started in a trickle |
|
All we need to do is convince them that Scott Peterson, while on steroids, raped Janet Jackson, and, oh, yeah, STOLE THE ELECTION. They'll be all over it.
Has anybody found any connections between the fraud and any of these things:
(1) Sex (2) Drugs (3) Celebrities
If so, please post; it could get a foot in the door.

"the will of the voter in Ohio was to vote for me", or something like "after all the votes were counted, it appears that I won Ohio" that'll do it. Or if we gather in the streets in large enough numbers !!! PROTEST NOW if you believe in this you should be planning to go to a rally!

when it's the best time to get some real media coverage? All he'll have to do is pick up the phone...if he wanted it, he'd have it already. Let the prosecuter decide, I say.

get nibbles from the editorial staff. Remember many regional outlets rely on AP, NYT and WP as their sources. Apparently no one at my local paper bothered to learn anything about the Conyers' forum other than that limp AP story.

Buses to Blackwell's. How about 100 busloads of protesters -- 2 from every state, descending on Blackwell's office until the recount produces enough evidence to put him away.

I'm thinking that's when the m$m will finally cover this. Bush will be protected by the crooked court system until then. After the 20th he will be saved by a Corrupt Congress. The media will then start digging into the fraud knowing they can't be blamed for impeachment if by some miracle the repukes decided to do so.

And if the certification is challenged, they'll portray Conyers and other Dems as sore losers - they'll be the bad guys.
I just turned my computer on 10 minutes ago and I've already read articles on DU which talk about book banning for both political and social reasons, suppression of any positive portrayal of homosexuality, suppression of political speech on the Internet, and the Bush Administration's support for displaying the Ten Commandments in courthouses. About a half an hour ago, I turned on CSPAN and I caught some forum on religion and social values, in which they were discussing ways to get religion (of course, they don't mean "religion" - they mean Christianity) into the government.
These people are coming out of the woodwork. They're spewing hate and misinformation. They're shredding our Constitution and turning the clock back on science, education, civil rights and social justice.
AND NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM!!!
When DUers and other progressives try to spread the word, we're ridiculed or simply dismissed as "nut cases" - even by friends and family members. The Dems in Congress are powerless to do anything except complain because, as John Conyers said yesterday, the checks and balances in our government are gone. We can't vote the bad guys out of office because the machines are rigged. We can't throw them in jail because the White House controls the Justice Department. Even if we launch a huge protest in Washington, no MSM will cover it (remember the reproductive rights rally?). * shows up in public looking like a dictator in that creepy jacket and no one in the MSM mentions it!
I'm sorry ... I don't mean to sound so negative ... but I'm very upset. It's getting worse everyday. Our basic rights as Americans are being taken away and no one seems to care. The US has turned its back on everything it's supposed to stand for and no one seems to care. Our Constitution has become a meaningless piece of paper and no one seems to care. We've lost our country, and soon our entire way of life, and no one seems to care.
Help me out, guys ... I'm in a really dark place today. :cry: Give me something ... any glimmer of hope is better than nothing.

suffer the consequences. This could be our last chance to be heard and seen. But this will only happen if we go to the streets like they did in the Ukraine. We have to be loud enough and large enough that the msm can't ignore us. Please go to your state capital Sunday!:hippie:

About ready to let my newspaper subscription lapse ( joining the other 79% of Americans - including Bush - who don't read papers ). Our " supposedly " more liberal Seattle PI daily had NO mention of yesterday's Conyers hearing. Naturally it's much more important to know whether Scott Peterson will get the Death Penalty. Speaking of Divine punishment ... what are 100,000 Iraqi civilian deaths worth ?
