The media really pissed me off last night...
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 09:59 AM by Dawgs
Here are a few statements made by Tweety, WP columnists, and others.

Who cares what happened thirty years ago.
Well, apparantly everyone cares if it's about attacking Kerry's war record. The man was a WAR HERO(period). Bush was AWOL, and now there's proof... but who cares.

Tweety said, I want to start talking about the issues of today...Economy, Iraq war, Health care, etc..
Excuse me, while the Swifties were attacking Kerry was the only one trying to get everyone to talk about current issues. Now that Bush is being attacked the media is tired of it. Well tough shit. It's our turn and were pissed off.

"Kerry does not need to be attacking Bush over his military record. This could keep the Swift boat stuff going."
First of all, there is no proof Kerry or the Democrats had anything to do with Bush's records or the Texans for Truth. They said it though. Of course it took weeks for the press and Kerry to prove Bush was behind the SBVT's. But when Bush is "called out", it must be Kerry and the Democrats that are behind it. Second, why the fuck not? Are their people out there that would think someone who was AWOL during Vietnam is a better choice than someone who volunteered to fight in a deadly war? Forget about everything else Kerry did during and since the Vietnam war.

"What is Kerry's plan on the Iraq war?"
How about what the fuck is Bush's plan on the Iraq war. This is Dubya's war, not Kerry's. Someone needs to start asking the tough questions. I'm getting sick of this shit.

"Bush is likable, Kerry is not"
Didn't it come out yesterday that most of the world would vote against George Bush. This is one of the most disliked men of all time. But wait a minute, he's cute when he says dumb stuff and falls on his face. Whatever!!!

"Cheney's comments could kill this election for Kerry"
Amazing how they can twist what Cheney said, which was essentually "You will die if vote for Kerry", into "the election is over, and the winner is Bush". Instead of attacking Cheney for being a fear-mongerer, they spin it to say Kerry is done. Fuck them!!

Someone really needs to call these media people out on the bullshit. I am really getting tired of it.

1. I caught literally the last minute of Hardball
and it just demoralized me to hear all this crap in the space of 60 seconds. matthews badgered a woman reporter lois romano? to make a stupid remark about edwards "suing" terrorists and she was so weak that she relented and made the stupid comment. and this roger simon dude - really really bad. no more of that for me. it's just not good for the mind of the body.

3. Did anyone write letters to these media sluts?
When you see this stuff we need to be flodding the inboxes of the reporters or anchors objecting to the way they twist the truth.

5. I've been writing letters since they trashed Gore this way in 2000
and it has made zero difference.

They are acting the same way towards Kerry as they did Gore. Trash-talk the Dem candidate, prop up Smirk. Rinse, repeat . . . until the election.

6. People have been writing letters for quite some time now. But Imperial
Pravda, like the Nazi and Soviet media before it, simply do not respond or even care aboutcriticism from human beings.

Now, any Imperial Party complaints, like Nazi and Soviet media before it, will bring swift and sure retribution to the perdson complained about.

Crazy. Orwellian.

Amerika 2004.
