Al Giordano has some very interseting takes on
Dean vs. Big Media:
But if Dean starts, now, in the primaries, to loudly (well, he does do everything loudly) go on the attack against Big Media, he will then be able to inoculate himself from the coming attacks, engaging them as the visible enemy. And he will have finally found himself a winning issue for the general election. (Somebody, please, copy and memo this to Trippi... He should be able to grasp what I'm saying here.)
and
In other words, Howard Dean may be the right man in the right place at the right time to take the "media bias" issue away from the right-wing and put it back where it belongs: in the hands of the unheard American masses.
The basement of American public opinion is filled with gasoline regarding the Big Media usurpers of democracy-as-we-knew-it. If Howard Dean continues on this trajectory, he could light the match.
If Dean is now going to really run against Big Media, the scapegoating enemy that is long overdue for a good harsh scapegoating turned upon it, then I say "Run, Howard, Run!"
And there's this about Kucinich:
Reader Marty Hahn emails: Al, Kucinich had this stand for years. No news on him? I reply: You are right to point that out, and even if folks don't know it, most presume that it would be Kucinich's position. But is Dennis really "in the right place at the right time" to light the fuse and make the Mediocracy implode through its over-reaction? I wish that were true, but I'm afraid it's not.
It's a long article with lots of other good analysis.
