So we have the Democratic Convention with commentary by Republicans.

Then we have the Republican Convention with commentary by Republicans.

Where are the Democrats?

I'm changing the channel.

2. MSNBC can not quit talking about RW'ers and other anti Obama BS.
I am extremely disappointed thus far with the media. I guess we shouldnt be surprised.
These multimillionaire corporate whores wouldn't want Obama to win and cause then a few bucks out of their back pocket..

3. I might switch over to MSNBC for Keith later
but I agree, the media coverage has been positively atrocious, I have felt much saner watching c span since I flipped over. I have flipped back to cnn and MSNBC a couple of times to see if it had gotten better, but they are in pure propaganda mode.

4. What pisses me off is the claim that they'll let the Democrats have their day but you're right there
pushing your fucking talking points. How is that honoring the tradition?

They'll SHOW Michelle Obama...
...but then you'll hear Wolf Blitzer blabbing over top of her. Democrats are seen but not heard on CNN.

9. We're "Take Back The Media" so we subject ourselves to this stuff so we can complain about it
I probably should do a fund drive to pay for psychotherapy after this election is over!

21. Hey, I know...
We can make a Republican horror movie!

A dark shadow appears in the hallway, gets closer... and you see the intruder is holding A UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE PLAN that fully covers all Americans for full medical and dental and cuts the insurance companies out of the loop...

cut to scene, closeup of Ann Coulter, hands on her cheeks shrieking at the top of her lungs...

11. I remember them doing the exact same thing in 2004.
The went to repubs for rebuttals after every speech by the Democrats.

For some reason, though, they couldn't seem to find any Democrats during the repub convention to return the favor.

I guess they were all hidden away at Starbucks downing their lattes.

:sarcasm:

15. Highly ironic
I've interviewed plenty of Democrats and Congresspeople - I KNOW there are highly outspoken Democrats out there. They never seem to appear on CNN.

Somebody bring back the Fairness Doctrine!

14. This is a crime against journalism
they better intend to have a whole gang of Democratic strategists
commenting on next week's GOP convention... or it will be clear
that the media is shilling for the rightwing. Sell outs.

17. MSNBC hasn't been any better....
Watching just leaves me depressed because it's negative negative negative about Obama. Not to mention airing McCain's anti-Obama ads over and over again so the pundits can discuss it and talk about what trouble Obama is in with HIllary voters.

25. Ah, "If Obama doesn't do well in this election, that opens the door for Hillary in 2012."
Hillary, hillary, hillary. It's still all about Hillary, according to them.
