Media BlackBalling Kerry Press Conference?
What gives, Kerry gave a powerful commanding Press Conference almost 2 hours ago and not one report of it on headlines at

ABC
CBS
MSNBC
FOX
CNN

Anyone else feel something is up with the so called liberal media?

3. Yes, FOX, CNN did Cover it Live But..
But there is no Print report on any of the Media's Websites.

I just did a search in Yahoo News and nothing came up.

I swear, this is starting to look scary, its as if the Entire Media is against Kerry.

4. The Entire Media IS against Kerry. But this may just be a time lag.

If it's not up in a couple more hours, I'll be outraged myself.

6. Slate report was Published Yesterday
That report is a day old. Kerry gave a Commanding Press Conference over 2 hours ago, and nothing on it on Corporate America News.

Not the Questions asked nor the answers available.

I am totally disgusted at this point, but thanks for looking for something.

7. Finally a Tid Bit of Today From 'Billings Gazette'
Kerry claims Bush failed to level with U.N. about problems in Iraq

http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/21/build/nation/21-kerry.inc

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Tuesday that President Bush failed to present a true picture of Iraq to the United Nations and "does not have the credibility to lead the world."

"The president really has no credibility at this point," Kerry said in his first news conference since Aug. 9. "He has no credibility with foreign leaders who hear him come before them and talk as if everything is going well, and they see that we can't even protect the people on the ground for the election."

Roughly three hours after Bush defended his Iraq invasion decision to the world community, Kerry told reporters, "The president needs to live in the world of reality."

Bush had appealed to foreign leaders to join in supporting the new Iraqi interim government. Kerry said, as he did in a speech Monday in New York, that the United States needs to change its policies in Iraq to be successful, starting with bringing in more help from other nations.

"After lecturing them, instead of leading them to understand how we are all together with a stake in the outcome of Iraq, I believe the president missed an opportunity of enormous importance for our nation and for the world," Kerry said. "He does not have the credibility to lead the world. And he did not and will not offer the leadership in order to do what we need to do to protect our troops, to be successful, and win the war on terror in an effective way."

Kerry Says Bush Failed to Level With U.N.

By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press Writer



JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Tuesday that President Bush failed to present a true picture of Iraq to the United Nations and "does not have the credibility to lead the world."

"The president really has no credibility at this point," Kerry said in his first news conference since Aug. 9. "He has no credibility with foreign leaders who hear him come before them and talk as if everything is going well, and they see that we can't even protect the people on the ground for the election."

9. Networks Still Blackballing the Story
Thanks for your digging.

I found almost the same AP story at the Billings Gazette.

The point of this sad reality is, the News Giants don't want this to be made public, I can only guess is its pressure from their advertisers that they want Bush re elected.

I can only hope, that now that CBS finds itself against the ropes being attacked by THE ENTIRE COMPETITION == IS THAT THEY OPEN THE PANDORA'S BOX AND EXPOSE THE REAL GOINGS ON ,, with the influence of what is cherry picked and reported to the masses.

My Fellow Citizens, I am a former Republican, on the 88th day of the Iraq Attack, I started asking questions, posting them on my site, along with stories that were coming out that did not support the rhetoric we all heard leading into war.

Now, here I sit, posting on this forum, with this apparent
FULL METAL BIAS AGAINST THE KERRY CAMPAIGN.

THE MEDIA MISLED US INTO WAR == THEY ARE MISLEADING US ON JOHN KERRY AND IT IS BEYOND SICKENING == IT IS FRIGHTENING.

This all goes to the bottom line....

Corporations rule what we see,, what we hear.

Obviously, the Answers to the Questions asked today by Reporters, who were those reporters, sadly, I cannot find out, and you couldn't know from watching the press conference. The answers made sense, and the corporations profiteering off of this war do not == DO NOT WANT THE MASSES OUT THEIR TO HEAR JOHN KERRY'S ANSWERS.

I'M INFURIATED AT THIS... I HAVE BEEN FLIPPING ON THE CHANNEL, yes, CNN showed a few snippets, but its still not available for those to read on their website.

Now its over 3 hours, and nothing on the corporate controlled media giants.

Sad.

10. Blue Nomad == regarding 1010 Wins...
If you are a New Yorker, or even if you aren't, (I am)
here is a little information about 1010 Wins news.

They are on 1010 AM here in New York, their competition is 880 on the am dial, WCBS 880.

Last I looked, they are both owned by the same parent company.

Nothing like having the only 2 'News' dials on AM Radio (that don't have talk show hosts) owned by the same company.

12. Thanks, but ...
Its 6 30 pm, and its not on their main page...
http://abcnews.go.com/

The point stays the same, they are burying the 'questions and answers'.

I am going to watch abc nightly news, to see what they do with it, but its apparent that what I said originally is what it is.

13. Peter Jennings Just Exposed Bush as a Liar
I am watching ABC Nightly News and Peter Jennings just exposed Bush as a Liar.

I feel better now.

ABC Nightly News has an audience that dwarfs the cable news networks.

But still, I would have liked to see a report regarding the questions asked, and the answers given.
