The "internal polls" must show a Kerry lead - the media is going NUTS !

[cthrumatrix]

The logic for Kerry bashing has gone into a "frenzy". There are no facts. Hardball tonight was nothing other than a "Sex frenzy for terra and Shrub"

Something is very wierd...

1. The 1000 number has got them struggling...

...because you can't laugh that off...

[tridim]

4. Are they at least reporting it?

Obviously I haven't been watching.

[cthrumatrix]

5. it's a direction... it's forced and it has zero logic... you can tell they

this is scramble mode


and NO talk of 1000 deaths for a war of choice.

[da_chimperor]

2. Got any links?

I'm curious as to what they're saying.

3. Bush leads mainly in TERRA

that's why media is concentrating on this

they're citing the internals of these polls that show Bush leading on this, and gaining in Iraq, too, as a result of the conflation, 911-style of WOT and Iraq

very simple; media doing pug bidding in the most transparent, shameless manner

[lancdem]

7. These polls were all done before all the soldiers

were killed in Iraq the past few days.

[mhr]

6. I Agree This Is The Only Explanation

If Bush was truly ahead we would hear none of this type of negative campaigning.

Since big business needs Bush to continue their agenda, they are pulling out all the stops to defend their interests.

8. the part that pisses me off is - "this is our damn country" and the media

jsut pisses on us at night.

Who in the fuck do they think they are...we own the airwaves!

[mhr]

9. Trust Me, I Am As Equally Pissed

Wish I could do something about it constructively.

I live in TX and their is nothing to be done here.

I guess those in other states can only fight harder.

[cthrumatrix]

10. that's the message for DU ... we need to "pissed and re-double" our

efforts ....voter drives...media enlightenment...bush flops and lies


This is our chance...and if a damn computer is caught with changed votes..we can't stand for it.

14. I've fired off an angry e-mail to Hardball. . .

asking Chris why is it that he doesn't criticize Bush for not riding horses on his ranch like he does Kerry for not playing team sports. I asked why was it that they aren't reporting his gaffes like the "we can't win a war on terror" which he was forced to retract on Limbaugh last week and the ob-gyn gaffe yesterday. I pointed out that if he would have been a Democrat they would have already called in three head docs to diagnose whatever ails him. Not to mention a few more doctors to diagnose whatever causes that horrible sweating he seems to do. I also pointed out that these critiques some to be reserved solely for Democrats while * seems to get the benefit of the doubt every single time. They seem to think it "mean" to make fun of his speech problems. Why aren't they analyzing the root causes of them instead? Yes, I ranted and raved. Fat lot of good it will do.

[Walt Starr]

The media is TERRIFIED of Kerry winning

If the Democrats take back power, te powers that be in the media are fucked.

Plain and simple.

15. Tired of the coporate media?

Don't watch them. Don't buy products made by companies who own and control the media. I know, easier said than done. They own EVERYTHING. Realistically, I'd love to see an online network where a couple of people tape the news and we could link to them without giving the media our hits or Nielsen ratings and our money. AAR did a service by broadcasting the RNC convention overdubbed with snarky comments and the TV stations didn't get our hits. I'd love to see people who are tired of being ruled by the corporate oligarchy barter and trade with one another instead of putting our money into the very monster that continually bites us in the @ss. I'd love to see wages go underground so our tax dollars won't go to fatten up the rich and wage war against the poor. One day...

18. Sold My TV Three Years Ago - I Am Already On Permanent Protest

eom

[JLuckey]

11. I was Channel surfing all-day..........

Your right, they are going Bananas! I was thinking this is going to be a bad news week for*bush.

[Mika]

12. Consistent with all of their tactics

.. blame the opponent for and/or on what they themselves are doing - losing in the real polls.

[cthrumatrix]

13. I got it ! It must be the "cocaine story and.or 60 minutes" that is

about to drown shrubya

[sonicx]

16. I read at talkingpointsmemo.com that

Bush leads internals by 4 (both sides are saying that)

[agingdem]

17. Internal polls...

I think what we are seeing is a true "grass roots" campaign. Kerry rallies turn out tens of thousands of people. We political junkies forget that very few people care what the pundits have to say. It's 15 minutes (if that many) of NBC, CBS, or CBS in the evening and then on to something else.
