WE BEAT THE CORPORATE MEDIA!!!
DUer sendero posted a comment yesterday that got me thinking:

... Democrats, villified by almost the entire media, stepped on, marginalized, ridiculed for years, called "terrorist sympathizers" and worse - now we are supposed to "partner" with the team that wouldn't so much as throw us a BONE?

From this thread by DUer Leopolds Ghost:
WaPo: Dems must "partner" with Bush, "govern from the middle"

In other words, in addition to winning the House and Senate:

WE BEAT THE CORPORATE MEDIA!!!

Just think about it... The Democrats were vilified ..., stepped on, marginalized, ridiculed for years, called "terrorist sympathizers" and worse by the Corporate Media and WE STILL WON!!!

WE BEAT THE CORPORATE MEDIA!!!

Our message was so strong and full of truth that not only could the GOP not stop it, the Corporate Media couldn’t either. That’s a hell of a lot of strength and truth!!!

WE BEAT THE CORPORATE MEDIA!!!

That should be causing concern not only for the Bushitas and the GOP, but for the Corporate Media as well...

2. "The only tv time a Democrat got was Kerry calling troops retards"
John Oliver on the Daily show stumbling over the truth (not on what Kerry said, but on coverage).

6. Good point!
Now protecting the internet should be a TOP priority.

I shudder to think where we'd be right now if it wasn't for the free-flow of information on the Internet(s).

7. Exactly KansDem (hey, I'm in MO)
I don't think we would have made it this far if not for our *one* assett, the web.

The bad guys know it too...

4. Hoist on their own petard
After all these years of cheerleading for the dark side, the mainstream media is now irrevocably associated with R politicans and policies.

5. Try as they might they couldn't keep the corruption under wraps
It stuck in people's minds and it appears that this was the #2 reason/issue people sighted for how they voted.
