Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
While most of the media coverage of this convention has made my head explode. I have to really single out the tradmedia for especially appaling coverage and commentary with a few exceptions which will become apparent later.
The mainstream outlets such MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC have dropped the ball and of course the floor coverage by FOX, which makes one think that the only people at the convention are bored white people and old "ugly" black people i.e. TRINITY CHURCH FOLKS. (For those of you that don't get the irony of the Ugly Black People comment...that is irony. I truly believe the FOX FLOOR COVERAGE IS MANIPULATIVE AND RACIST. THOM HARTMANN HAS MENTIONED THE SAME THING...
It's not all bad. I think Rachel Maddow & Keith Olbermann have fought the good fight. I think they are actually spies in the house of Corporate Media. I am seeing a progressive, thoughtful movement that is slowly taking over and pushing out even stalwarts like Matthews and i couldn't be happier.
Tom Brokaw who seems to have fallen into early onset dementia is pathetic.
This Clinton Melodrama has basically taken over the entire mainstream trad media as the only narrative they are capable of telling. It's really pathetic. I've written letters, emails which I am sure are to no avail.
AMERICA'S CORPORATE MEDIA ESTABLISHMENT IS SCARED TO DEATH. Their days are gone. We have seen it in the AP reports from the Washington office. We see it in The Major Cable Networks...
I guess what they thought they were trying to set up was an obstacle or some sort of Labor of Hercules that Obama must overcome in the constant game of moving the goal posts for him to succeed. If he's up six, it should 10. If it's 10 it should be 20. Maybe not. Maybe it's just some reflexive guilt that the GOP has conned the networks into believing in.
I just can't believe 40 odd years after Integration that this convention is not about the first black candidate to accept a nomination from a major party, but the person who lost.
I just don't get it. I am trying to understand what the media is up to. I really wonder how the GOP Convention will be covered.
THE DEMOCRATS BETTER HAVE SURROGATES AND A WAR ROOM CALLED THE GEORGE BUSH/JOHN GRAMPY MCSAME TWIN CITIES CONNECTION!!!!
WE NEED TO PUSH THE MEDIA HARD..... I AM SO TIRED OF HOW LAZY THE MEDIA HAS BECOME. CHRIS MATTHEWS, TOM BROKAW, KATIE COURIC, WOLF BLITZER...YOUR DAYS ARE OVER...
