I really hope that the Democratic operatives would "work the refs" more and start attacking the media for its pro conservative bias. The Republicans have been doing this for 30 years,and it has had an amazing effect on the media.
Why haven't the Democrats like the Terry Mccauliffe types countered in the last 30 years?
Well Media Matters is a GREAT site.
I REALLY wish Democrats would start to use their findings to go on the attack. They do fantastic research.
Here is some stuff on documented CNN media bias:
http://mediamatters.org/items/200409170009
CNN's skewed coverage, Part One: Only 5 PERCENT of reporting in Inside Politics' Tuesday and Wednesday packages about "Bush's National Guard Service" actually discussed the allegations or evidence against Bush
or this:
CNN's skewed coverage, Part Two: Inside Politics packages included quotes or paraphrases of eleven Republican sources; only four Democrats
I think we should fundraise for Media Matters. I know it's a little unconventional, but it would do 2 things:
a) get them money b) increase their profile
This would go along way from just coming together for a campaign and actually building long term messaging machines
