1. I think you'll see them start whistling a different tune.
Not to mention that Kerry will allow LOTS more media access.

7. While I would like to see the return of the Fairness Doctrine...
I believe it would only apply to the broadcast media. :shrug:

5. when Kerry wins the media will go into attack mode
Just like they did with Clinton. And they won't stop until they get another Republican in the White House.

8. The media will do everything they can to help impeach president Kerry
Just like they did with Clinton.

They protect Bush and attack all Democrats.

10. If Kerry wins, they won't be so powerful..
...I would hope that Kerry will appoint someone more reasonable to be FCC chairman - and that the Fairness Doctrine will be re-enacted and that they will put far more stringent limits on how many media outlets and formats one corprat entity can own -- and force the huge ones to break up. That's what needs to be done...whether he will or not, I don't know but that is one of the FIRST things I'm going to pester them about when he wins...
