As if there weren’t enough advantages to being the incumbent, The Washington Post reports that President Bush garners three times more live cable TV coverage than John Kerry.

Media outlets, including ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and NBC, often jump in and out of Kerry's appearances, showing just minutes of major addresses. His April 6 speech on job creation garnered 2 minutes on Fox News and 3 ½ minutes on MSNBC. Meanwhile, an everyday stump speech by Bush in New Mexico on March 26 drew 35 minutes on CNN and Fox News.

1. The good news in this...

...is that Bush seems to be particularly good lately at self-destruction.

2. But, how can that be?

The media has such librul bias? (sarcasm off)

3. story getting legs! Go, Kerry! n/t

Again WRITE YOUR MEDIA OUTLETS (Local affiliates too) to get this fixed. It is totally unfair and they WON'T fix it unless they are pressured.

Let's make sure everyone knows about this.

5. How to contact

I contacted CNN and MSNBC about media fairness, linked them to the article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22713-2004Apr18.html) and asked them to start showing more of John Kerry's live speeches.

If you want to contact them, the CNN form is here:

6. Maybe people will get tired of listening to his moronic ramblings

and decide to kick his lying POS ass all the way back to stinking Crawford.

7. He's rarely at the White House

I think he secretly hates the JOB.. He loves the perks, but hates the job.. About all he has done for 3 1/2 years is fly in and out of fundraisers, visit military bases and 3rd grade classrooms, and take vacations..

Notice that he never goes to middle schools or high schools.. Kids over 8 yrs of age, might ask him questions more pressiing than "Who is your favorite Muppet"?
