a LOT of money from Bush. It never even occured to me that they are making money off of the amount of ads a presidential candidate buys. Bush outspent Gore 3 to 1 in 2000, that kind of money greases a lot of cogs.
You may be saying to yourself, "Well duh! you DMF!"
I guess that the one bit of integrity for the networks, I may have had stored somewhere in the back of my mind, just got explained away. It gives me a whole new level in my definition of media whore. It's the first time I thought about the money and not the power fixation of the RW media. Sad to see that last bit of naivety gone.
What pisses me off most is that these jerks sell themselves so cheaply. A couple $00,000 and the local snakes are willing to sell out all of us, Bushco has billions. It is so insulting, for some reason the bet between Randolf and Mortimer in Trading Spaces comes to mind.
"One Dollar!"
God, I hate the media, but this reminds me of the 1940's and 50's when Hearst owned damned near every newspaper in this country. We got through that, we can get through this.
I can't wait for Dean to host Tina Brown's show next week. He is going to talk about the media with John Stewart. He is going to cover BBV. I am so excited to hear news from someone like Dean. I actually trust him, to bad his talk show is only for a week, he kicked major ass on McEnroe.
Anyway I just needed to vent.
Dean to interview Jon Stewart Sunday @ 8pm EST on CNBC, it is one to tape for sure.
