102. Kerry can't control what kind of attention the media gives him
and that's why your whole argument is so foolish. It assumes that there is some magical power Kerry can exercise that will allow him to control how the media covers him.

Dean was NOT taken down UNTIL he spoke out against the media...

No, Dean wasn't taken down UNTIL Gore endorsed him. The media hates Gore, and that's why they went after Dean (Note: I hope that's a lesson for you in the Fallacy of Conflating Correlation with Causation)

The reason they wanted him savaged Sangh0, was because he threatend them. As I said, I do not suggest Kerry threaten to break up the media, but I do want Kerry to be a threat to Bush.

A threat to Bush* *IS* a threat to all of Corporate America, including the media corps which they own. IMO, it's incredibly naive to think that the media's interests are independent of the interests of the corporations that own the media.
