Democratic Underground - i think redqueen was on to something in post 33

"big media is big media, and if you think they've done a 180 because of some epiphany then i'm sorry."

we all saw (and continue to see) the media spin when it comes to the coverage of the war in iraq. the media is continuing with the same principles now as then.

using the last few elections as a guide, we all know who the nomine is going to be for the dems in 04. the media makes the decision way in advance based on $$$ and early pole popularity. this time around the chosen one is dean.

i congradulate hardline dean supporters for finding a candidate you can get behind who speaks to what matters most to you. i say that with respect. but one way of looking at your defense of the the media's bias coverage is that you can now sit back and cruise to the nomination. right or wrong doesn't matter right? all that matters is winning. fcc deregulation and the predictable outcomes are a good thing if my guy is on top.

"who brought up the fcc?" is your next thought, yes? i did. so i can stick to my theme. the fcc issues the licence to broadcast with the understanding that the air waves are used for the public good. the people own the air waves. it is in the interest of the public good to present the candidates with equal coverage. if there is equal coverage and one candidate does not have support then so be it. but thoes contracts are not genuinly honored so we kucinich supporters should fight on. i know i'm going to
