I am a native of Denver, who unfortunately can't be at the convention this week. But there is something I'm trying to do, and it would be great to have help. The main local news outlet in Denver is 9news, http://www.9news.com. It is the NBC affiliate in Denver. On their new website, they have the ability to register as a commenter and post responses to certain news stories. These comments automatically come up when the story is clicked on.
Unfortunately, most of the commenters are conservative and rather nasty in their comments. The progressive voice is simply drowned out. With the whole world tuning in to Denver this week, 9news is likely to get a lot of traffic, and it would be helpful to have the progressive voice included in those comment boards. As well, with Colorado being such a swing state, it is important to get the facts to the locals who tune in to their site.
They just posted this morning the Likely Voter Quinnipiac poll this AM that has McCain up by 1% among "likely voters": http://www.9news.com/...
If you click, you can read for yourself some of the more ridiculous comments.
I am not asking for a full-on frontal assault or to freeper their site into oblivion. But it would be great if some of you would consider signing up for accounts and commenting to dilute some of the more unfactual and incendiary remarks. Especially if you are in Denver this week or live there. Let's get the truth to the locals in Colorado, and make sure that Colorado turns blue this year.
Some comment samples for your "enjoyment":
I think Obama should do a commercial explaining his fake birth certificate that's posted on his Rescue-Obama-From-The-Truth web-site. Take note, white folks: Voting for Obama as a white person would be like voting for David Duke if you were a black person.
border gurl you are right he is a racist lying flip flopping idiot. And his new VP is just as bad cause he said he wasnt cabable of being president and now he says he is cause hes in the spotlight. This whole Democrat campaign rightnow is a joke. We will see when it comes voting time McCain will be far ahead of this racist.
Please help. I am becoming convinced that the comment boards have been freepered in time for the Convention.
