Corporate Media told "Pull Plug" ...."We've given them some House Seats

[KoKo]

and maybe one or two in the Senate...but it's Time to PULL THE PLUG on momentum for a Landslide."

Landslide is not good for MSM when they have more Media Consolidation planned and taking down Internet Neutrality is their #1 Focus in the remaining Bush years. Also the Wall Street Criminals want to make sure that the Greed Machine Casino operates comfortably in the future.

CNN gave us some good Documentaries and MSNBC allowed Matthews to tweak Macca and the Racist ads against Ford....but they don't want BIG WINS so now they are pushing the Kerry story for all it's worth to get Bush's numbers and momentum back in the final days.

Cover up Iraq, Afghanistan, Halliburton, BP, Hedge Funds, Housing Bubble Implosion and all the rest of the Crime going on in DC. Focus on the "Battleground for America" while what they don't cover simmers in the background.

We need to take back our Media. We need Laws for Balance. We need the "Fairness Doctrine reinstated." Enough is Enough.

2. The Media could cut thru the repug BS in 2 seconds on this Kerry 'crisis'

and show how manufactured and ridiculous it is.

But they don't want to and they won't. They seem to think their job is to promote the Republican Party.

3. Chris Matthews did a pretty good job of showing how manufactured

and ridiculous it all was, last night on his show. I was pleasantly surprised.

4. Andrea Koppel did a biased report on "LIBERALS" taking over the House

she went after Conyers, Hastings, Pelosi and Rangel. She showed Repug ads against them, and said "these are the LIBERALS that will be in charge of the government if Democrats take over. She said Repugs say Dems will raise your taxes, Conyers had up on his website he'd call for investigations of Bush before he took it down, that Hastings was a Judge who allegedly took bribes and she lied about Rangel by saying he said all tax raises would be considered (and Rangel was on with Blitzer yesterday refuting those statements but she repeated the Repug talking points). She only showed one seconds long statement from Pelosi after repeating Repug Talking Points against Dems and the whole thing was like 5 to 1 Repug statements against Dems.

Jack Cafferty said that Kerry wouldn't show up on CNN to refute his statements and Blitzer said "well we will wait and see."

The media has turned once again back to the Repugs. We need to be watchful of more lies and distortions.

5. I don't think the corporate news media had to turn "back" to Repubs.

They owe allegiance to no one but their board of directors. As long as the news media operates on a for-profit basis, there will always be a pro-corporate bias. In short, they never were pro-Dem in any period leading up to now, just pro-self-interest.

6. Yes...what you say is absolutely correct....but they gave us enough of

a break to get some momentum to get some seats by not shutting down Macaca story and Santorum's crap. Now they are back in full force to try to stop a landslide.

Forcing Kerry into an apology is now the latest fiasco where they have every Bush bot out there whoring and making up lies about Kerry. Just now there's a Repug Op saying going at Kerry's war record and practically calling him a criminal for coming back to the US and trying to stop the War. Turned it into Anti-War soft on terrorist rhetoric. This story could have been downplayed...but they are whoring it for all it's worth to try to "trim" the amount of seats we get. I DON'T THINK IT WILL WORK...but they are scared shitless about what happens if they don't try and we gain more seats than they thought we would.

7. See, I don't buy that. I think voters are pissed despite the corporate news spin.

I think one of the biggest reasons people are pissed at Repubs is over the damn war and an economy that fails to impress, not to mention reckless government spending at a time when social programs are being cut.

The least reported in the news is the damn war. There is hardly any sense of what it's like to be in a war. When the death of a soldier is reduced to little more than scrolling words at the bottom of a screen during a show talking about Terri Schiavo or Michael Jackson or that missing girl in Aruba, you're royally fucked as far as being informed, and when they don't even show combat footage, there's even more detachment from the notion of war.

The only thing most people have to rely on is the health of their wallets.

8. Good Points you make....I feel I live sometimes in a "DU Bubble" and

so maybe my own view is biased. I have to hope that "Average Americans" will have enough sense to "VOTE THE BUMS OUT!"

I think it always comes down to the fact that "THE PEOPLE" are smarter than the "Politico's." Being here on DU since STOLEN Selection 2000...my view might be very myopic....:-(
