Hey everyone, while you are watching hurricane coverage

[jdj]

the next few days

and you are seeing the debris flying by, and the rain sheeting in
and the wind screaming through the trees
and you see the weatherperson standing there braced against the wind

and they are talking into their mike
and despite all that is going on
all you can hear is their clear voice and perfect enunciation
please take a moment to think about
HOWARD DEAN

this is the kind of mike they had trained on him, and this is how they set him up
and this is why when they played his "scream" you couldn't hear the roar of the crowd.

I just needed to get that off my chest.

1. The media needs to be protested directly.

2. I think it is a good analogy.

I'm not understanding your post.

3. That's interesting.

I don't have any expertise in that area and wouldn't have thought of that.

4. I've said from day one that he was on an isolation mike

and I've given detailed descriptions of what an isolation mike does with ambient noise. I also posted link to the video from the back of that room when it was out there. I also described how to frame a shot so that the cherrypicked video would look like he was in a small and nearly empty room.

People preferred to believe the media garbage, even here on DU.

It's very disheartening to know how easily some folks are fooled.

5. I'm sorry, I didn't know people bought that mess.

That's awful

D.U. was where I learned the truth, maybe from one of your posts, but I was Edwards all the way, so I didn't follow the story.

Apparently this is a version of what they did to Michael Moore as well.
