[imax2268]

N/T

2. i wish i were. after seeing ted with john edwards last night i

didnt feel like watching that again for awhile. ted was just a bit too doubtful of edwards and why he was calling out bush for his comment about not winning the war on terror.

9. Agreed. Koppel was definitely holding Edwards to a different standard.

I was amazed at the degree of grilling Koppel applied to Edwards. To me, it's a sign of things to come when we win in November. Again, the media will flip-flop* and return to harsh criticism of the President (since it will be a Democrat).

* (or not, depending on the context, since they'll be maintaining a right-wing cowered perspective)

11. Last Poll 78% of Media Is Voting for Kerry despite what they say on TV

[krkaufman]

14. Got a link for that figure? n/t

16. Who is counted in "The Media"?

Are they only counting owners, editors, commentators, and reporters? Not bloody likely. They probably count the cameramen, the grips, the gaffers, the soundboard technicians, the typesetters, and just maybe the janitors.

I've seen a few of these "media" polls and getting to the methodology is everything. Everything.

15. I came away with a different impression

What I saw was Koppel playing devil's advocate with Edwards, but doing Edwards a favor by simply feeding Edwards the Karl Rove lines and allowing Edwards to respond for however long he wanted to, without interruption, and have the last word. In other words, Koppel was simply playing Ed McMahon to Edwards' Johnny Carson. He was deliberately helping Edwards out and Edwards handled it brilliantly. The gist of the show? That Edwards can make mincemeat of anything Karl Rove throws at him.

3. Thanks for posting that info

I've been too busy torturing myself with the coverage on MSRNC and I missed it!

4. Chris Matthews...

...made a comment right before he cut to commercial that Kerry should be afraid after the performances over the last two nights. Did any one else see that? Does anyone care what Matthews thinks?

[GOPAgainstGW]

13. Chris and his Wife are voting for Kerry - He just says stuff to stimulate

panel conversation, but they don't represent his personal beliefs.

17. He could be lowering expectations for Kerry

That's not necessarily a "Bad Thing". Kerry has to get his expectations lowered quite a bit to pull even with W before the debates.

5. they showed the security

that is around town and how it is to get somewhere...

showed Ahhnold giving his "girliemen" line...again...

they showed contrasting opinions from people inside MSG and the protestors outside...

it was a great show...

6. not yet on in half hour...

thanks for the tip...tonight was especially nauseating I had to turn the volume off and listen to aar...sometimes I wonder if all of us didn't already die and are collectively in some heretofore unknown level of hell...

[imax2268]

7. it's pretty good

Brokaw really impressed me tonight...

they also mentioned that the only reason Ahhhhhnold was there was to basically fill the seats...he is pretty much the opposite on all the views of the misadministration...

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Thank you thank you thank you

Tom Brokaw and any other self-respecting 'journalist'. PLEEEAAASE keep disseminating and dissecting this shit for what it really is to the moderates watching! A stage show!!!

In the words of the Log Cabin Republicans leader: "Lipstick on a Pig!"

BTW, is there anywhere that has the RNC platform put into condensed format? This would be good ammunition, IMO.

[Sugarbleus]

8. I know it's not funny but, Bwahahahahaahh!! on the hell thing

It's been a rough several days for sure; tonight has been no exception. :hangover:

[AgadorSparticus]

10. whoaaaaaa!

:wow:

[0rganism]

18. Koppel was fun on The Daily Show too

In case you missed it, they agreed to settle their "blood feud" with assualt rifles at 150 yards.

19. whith shrubya it's always more fluff than substance...what's new?
