What the hell. During the DNC it was non stop republican talking heads on the news networks. Where are the Democrats at?

1. we're in 1936 Germany, folks
or should I say Volken. One party controls all branches of the government, and the media.

to actually be fair and balanced, did you?

4. It works both ways
Kerry campaign needs to PUT Dems on shows.

Are they waiting for a formal invitation?

6. Democrats' media strategy has been pretty weak so far this campaign
Have you seen many strong informed Democrats in the media in the last few months?

Hopefully they will get organized and demand some time soon.

7. Uh yeah, right.

See, the Kerry campaign can only make people AVAILABLE, they
can't guarantee that the "pundits" will invite them to join
the gab fest. I'm sure the appropriate number of surrogates
are there at the RNC... and all that I'm seen so far is Bob
Kerrey. And Ron Reagan Jr.

9. Your comment assumes that Kerry has no power and no strategy will work
If they aren't getting on one way, then Kerry's team needs to do something else to get them on.

We can't just "accept" that our side will get no media coverage - we need to find a way to get that coverage. That's why we, the people, pick people like Kerry, to find solutions to these problems.

If we didn't want to be represented in the media, any of us could do that - Kerry's job is to get our message out there and win the election.

3. What did you expect?
Did you think our side would be as organized and aggressive as theirs?

The media is biased, but we are not exactly helping ourselves when it comes to the people we send out into the media - when we actually do.

This week is going to be hard, but hopefully Kerry will go on the attack the day after the convention ends.

5. So, Tweetman gave us some crumbs last week because he knew he'd have his
nose so far up *'s crack this week. I get it. And what was with Scarborough chiming in that *'s "the war can't be won" remark was a major gaff. Man they sure know how to fuck with your head.
