I've never been so disgusted by the whoring on TV until now
The boots and fishnet stocking have come out on CNN, MSNBC, FOX (ha), and ABC.

I've never been so disturbed by how biased out media is until this convention. I've yet to see any real democratic presense cutting up and dissecting the thugs.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but... wow did anyone think it would be THIS bad???

2. I think they are ignoring them.
How many times did we hear from the repugs during the Dem convention? Every damn day.

4. It's almost unreal. You'd think Clinton would be hitting up
all the channels.

I've not seen a reputable Democrat yet?
And Bob Dole is still everywhere, I almost want to :puke: when I watch the coverage.

5. I can't watch either. It's like drinking
alcohol when you're on anti-dressants. Counter productive.

6. We all know they're not the news -- it's the voters we're worried about...
and why I think we have to be aware of what's being fed to the people. It's a tremendous obstacle to our chances. We don't get our own news from cable tv, but we can't close our eyes to it. Even if cable viewership is not huge, it helps set the conventional wisdom, the "memes". And it's what covers conventions and campaigns for those interested in watching such coverage.
