An example of sneaky media propaganda.

[Zorra]

I have noticed that this happens quite frequently.

Articles about Bu$h often do not have any negative content or response from Democrats.

Articles about Kerry always have some lame rebuttal from the Bu$h camp.

This is a very frequent, insidious RW propaganda method often used by our corporate media.

In this article about Kerry, the Bu$h camp is given print to attack Kerry:

Kerry Assails Deficit As Bush's Fault

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&e=1&u=/ap/20040907/ap_on_el_pr/kerry

In this article about Bu$h (which is, in itself, reporting on a stupid and pointless issue), there is no mention of Democrat positions or rebuttal from the Kerry campaign:

Bush: Kerry Blocks Lawsuit Restrictions

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&e=2&u=/ap/20040907/ap_on_el_pr/bush

I've noticed that this happens quite often. The media seems to use this, and every other underhanded propaganda method possible, to get Bu$h re-selected.

1. My Daughter noticed this on NPR this AM

In a segment concerning the two campaigns, Bush got the "Rah Rah" thang, while Kerry got painted as the sad-eyed underdog.

It is so absolutely sickening to contemplate the cowardice emanating from our radios and TVs.

Journalism is now a JOKE. And journalists are self-serving, vacuous pukes.

2. it's so blatant...I hope this is all being documented so we can sue

the media when a "real team" takes over

3. Sue them for what?

They can do whatever the hell they want, and there's nothing we can do about it besides turning them off.

4. Always, always

In a story about Democrats you get this halfway through the article: 'but Republicans say(insert glib slam here). (insert name and title of Republican functionary here) says "(insert talking point here)."'

In a story about Republicans I always wait for the "balance" at the end but it never comes!
