BOOOOOO! MSM is an embarassment to America and the world.

8. I think the MSM will wait for the actual filing or a press conf
On another DU thread someone asked Will Pitt if he knew whether Kerry was able to file today despite offices in Ohio being closed because of the severe weather conditions. He replied that he was trying to find out. I haven't seen anything from him on this since then. So Kerry may not have been able to file yet. I expect that when he does, we will see a report on it here on the board very quickly.

I'm betting there are MSM articles being prepared about this, but I don't think we'll see them published until the filing is official or Kerry gives a press conference or issues a public statement on it. That's only sensible.

It will be interesting (yes, I know that's an understatement) to see how the various MSM venues report it.

10. I'd be interested to know if Will Pitt's report was supposed to coincide
with the filling, because he held it back until pretty much exactly 12:30 ET which was obviously a time which had been worked out in advance, given that he wanted to hold it under wraps until then and that this has not had general widespread circulation, it would be logical to conclude that the report was supposed to appear simultaneously to the event.

14. I'm betting that's exactly what happened.
Still waiting to hear whether filing was postponed until after today because of offices closing. If the bad weather forced this, the next questions are:
1. What about tomorrow? Will offices open then?
2. Will Kerry hold a press conference or issue a public statement about the filing in the meantime?

11. I just flipped by Crossfire and saw a little graphic at the bottom
saying Political Alert: Kerry Christmas.

I have no idea what it was about because they started into what was a supposed to be a who was "naugthty or nice" segment and GOP POS Fabrizio and Tucker slammed Teresa and Hillary and I just turned it off. I mean, when Tucker says that Teresa revealed that she "HATED" her husband....it was discussing. It was a wonder that Peter Fenn didn't slug this SOB...he did say that Teresa loved her husband very much and saved his life by getting him to see a doctor when the cancer thing came up (he didn't use the word cancer)...but said her interest in health issues and her father's being a doctor made her aware of this sort of thing....

16. We could just skip calling it the MSM and call it the BM, Bush media
Not only that, look what else it spells! How fitting. A big, steaming pile of it.

21. Well I hope it happens while the 'regulars' are on break
Maybe some stand-in anchor or commentator will run with it hoping to bust out and make a name.
