And we wonder why the TV press isn't reporting properly on the campaign.
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 10:28 AM by gauguin57
MSNBC now has a long segment, with "analysts" discussing, in depth, who they think will get fired on "The Apprentice." They're making it sound like it's vital to national security.

And we wonder why half the country is in the dark about what's really going on with the Bush Admin and in Iraq?

We have to support our network's shows, and it doesn't matter if it takes time away from news stories that could not be more important if they tried.

2. Follow the money. GE is one of the biggest defense contractors
and one of the biggest contractors in Iraq.

3. And the Apprentice is of course on NBC.

Gee, isn't that odd.

4. Cable News is crap-they have 24 hours to fill, it's cheaper to
get talking heads as opposed to actually being journalists, plus they are corporate-owned, NOT a free press responsible to the people. No one should look to any cable news as being unbiased, plus Fox won a lawsuit that says they can put lies on the air.

5. It seems to me when the press is busy with Lacy and the Apprentice
that is usually when there's GOOD news to report about Kerry/Edwards. (which of course doesn't get reported)

Lord, I'll be happy when this is over... Saw a carpet commerical today and some woman says, "I approve this message"....I'm gonna email them and tell them it's been Over done already..lol
