WHY IS CNN SHOWING BUSH"S STUMP SPEECH?????

[goodboy]

where's kerry's free time/

[Jack_Dawson]

1. The advantages of incumbency

I guess this is what they mean...

[goodboy]

3. I hope Kerry brings back the fairness doctrine.

[MatrixEscape]

8. Well ... where thar's a stump, thar's WOOD! n/t

[apnu]

2. apparently Kerry's doesn't pay CNN *enough*

so that he too, can have free air time. It will be interesting when Kerry is president to see if he gets free air time as a "perk" on CNN.

[goodboy]

7. They'll shill for the Repukes just like they did when the big dog was in.

[apnu]

17. sure they will

Big Dawg didn't pay them, and Kerry won't either. But the reptilian Republicans will continue to shell out cash for the shilling to continue.

That is the only thing I expect to not change regardless of the outcome on Nov. 2.

4. the one good thing that comes out of this

is that *'s bought-and-paid-for media is making us all the more determined! for what it's worth. :shrug:

[goodboy]

13. agreed. but remember who called the election for *, and who followed

suit....

[Paradise]

16. it's seared into my mind, forever! nt

[htuttle]

5. Because CNN wants Bush to win

I hope that's not news to you!

[goodboy]

9. it's not news to me. I just forget sometimes that we don't have an

independent media./

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Because that's what they do.

It's one big Bush blowjob.

[jackstraw45]

10. Better question: Why are you STILL WATCHING CNN?

Haven't they proven their bias to you yet?

It's like getting slapped in the face again and again and coming back for more.

[goodboy]

11. it's off...I turned it off...nt

[MO_Dem]

12. He's standing there furiously ranting

so it might be a good thing for us that they're showing some of it. He really does sound like he's ranting and raving even in his stumps, nowadays. (Vociferously? ha)

[goodboy]

14. Yeah, and I'm reading more and more on the Internets about it.

[BillZBubb]

15. Turn off CNN!

They are trash.

[AndyTiedye]

21. Let CNN 's advertisers know what you think

[AlCzervik]

18. He sounds crazy

i just heard some of it. railing on about how Kerry would pay for programs but no mention of his own of course. I was in New Mexico this weekend and i saw a lot of Bush signs but i saw even more Kerry signs and a lot of them were on pick-up trucks. One that i saw over and over again was VETERANS AGAINST BUSH.

19. They need a laugh track

Besides CNN being lazy journalists, they don't have a sense of humor either. If they did, they'd have commentary from the newsjays saying stuff like "heh, there he goes again with 'liberal'" with perhaps a chiming bell every time he says "hard work".

[MatrixEscape]

20. Odd ...

People used to worry about Communists. Now they worry about terraists and how they, "hate our freedoms". Oh yeah, sure.

To me, two of the biggest threats to Democracy, by their own actions and behavior, are Faux and CNN, (Certainly Not the News).

Without a free press/media that has integrity and that is not beholden to corporate whims and desires, you are not going to have a Democracy. It will not survive under those conditions. We have to ask, whose interests are being served and for what purpose?

Do they seem to hate our freedoms even more? Well, that's the big question. Truth and balance are important to freedom. Media filters are also just as troubling as what they present.

Terrorism is a real threat and has been around a long time, but it is not the only one we face. It has been used as a major distraction from other, important issues. The time is coming when the distractions will no longer hold.

Holding the media accountable is important. If they refuse to comply, then abandoning them for other sources is a tool that can be exercised in response. There are already many rumblings on the frontier and many new sources being born and flourishing.

The Mass Media is now meeting its "MP3/P2P".

[spanone]

22. Because they are the publicity wing of the republican party.

ist vor einem parteitreue Amerikaner hoer- und sehenwert.
