Brokaw unfair to Kerry
First: Kerry is not my candidate
Second: I watched the replay of the Brokaw debate today.
Third: Brokaw was really unfair to Kerry. He said he hadn't answered a question AFTER he left him instead of following up with him like he did with others, like Clark. He said he hadn't answered the question another time when he had answered it; Brokaw then gave another question entirely that Kerry had not been asked so of course he had not answered. And when Kerry said the debate on Medicare was important, Brokaw at the end turned to someone else and said that he had and no one of the nine had suggested that the Medicare debate was not important. While the comment might have been technically right, Brokaw did not do that with other candidates.

1. The media whores don't want anyone with military experience anywhere on...
...the ticket.

We should be more outraged about how the media is selling some of the candidates long, and some of them short.

Hey, how do you like my sig line?

2. Unfair
Regardless what you think of Russert, he *always* gives the interviewee a chance to finish his/her thought.

I get the feeling that Brokaw is too concerned about the entertainment value of the broadcast, to the detriment of letting the candidates have their say.

3. Brokaw's a Bush pawn
Who do you think he wants for the nominee?

5. Because Jack Welch, Rupert Murdoch, and CNN control our Dem primary.

And I wonder if Democrats are ever going to wake up and read the expiration date on that teflon that the media bosses have given Dean....for now.
