Tweety blurted a media truth - no media cameras for Kerry's CFR speech

[blm]

while all the cable news gave full coverage to Bush's. And at the same time the Republicans and media say that Dems have no plans and offer no solutions.

Um....Tweety....you are one of those in the media who constantly mischaracterizes Dem plans.

Are YOU even starting to notice the media works AGAINST Democrats? Or are you trying to pretend you're not one of them today?

I believe this IS a deliberate strategy to keep Democrats from being perceived as viable alternatives on National Security.

The media will only feature those remarks from Dems that can be cherry-picked and mischaracterized to strengthen the ineviatble GOP strawman arguments.

1. He always tries to pretend he's not one of them....

And then he blurts out here and blurts out there more and more crap, then maybe a truth..

[AValdoux]

3. His brother is running...

... for Lt Governor as a republican. Jim Matthews. I didn't catch what state. I think Connecticutt. But surely Tweety will keep his journalistic objectivity.

22. "journalistic objectivity"

Tweety style... :P

[FreedomAngel82]

23. You can take this for what it's worth

but it was reported he went to Boehmian Grove in January of 2004. :shrug:

2. Trying To Pretend He's Not One Of Them Today....

Tweety will flip flop again tomorrow, and go back to criticizing the democrats.

At least he's consistent at being completely inconsistent. He'll kiss up to one side, then switch to the other the following day.

4. It makes me dizzy to watch him. nt

[blm]

9. A schizo spinner like Tweety makes it way more dizzying.

5. Actually, there WAS a camera there, I saw some "B roll" tape of it

on MSNBC. The CAMERAS were there, but the networks and cables FAILED to give the speech equal time, even though it was billed as the DEM response at the SAME forum where Monkey spoke yesterday.

Tweety doesn't dare go too far off the GOP reservation--his brother, Jim, is running for LT GOV of PA as a Republican, and he isn't rich. He is gonna need some dough from the RNC safe to make his case. If Tweety doesn't play ball, the GOP may punish his brother...!

[blm]

8. CFR does the responsible thing and has both sides speak, but media makes

sure only one side gets heard.

21. Tweety's Not The Only One With Cameras

I didn't see Kerry's remarks on CNN...they were too transfixed on watching someone's socks blow up. I didn't see it on MSGOP cause it would have taken away time from Rita's Kneepad Special with the Troops.

I'm one who thinks there's a corporate media storyline to portray Democrats as weak as they benefit more from both divisive politics...the more partisan and bitter the debate, the higher ratings go on their food fights. They also need to stay on the good side of Repugnicans so they can get further deregulation (monopolizing) of all forms of media.

Tweety's hope is for as much angst and fighting as possible. That's what makes his little TV treehouse possible and fuels his ego. He gets to play judge and jury every night and the more divisive the more fun he can have. His world isn't ours...his is of power, money, access, ego, A-lists, drinkie-drinkie parties and the myopic world that the corporate media and this regime both appear to live in.

6. That's what happened in the presidential election....

the only media Kerry got was the swiftboat idiocy! The media is one of the big reasons why we still have Bush and his sorry lot in the whitehouse!

[LittleClarkie]

13. I remember seeing what Bush said, and being told what Kerry said

and what they said Kerry said was along the lines of "more of the same, blah, blah, blay."

[blm]

11. heheh...so sayeth the Wise One.

;)

[LittleClarkie]

12. Not to mention an example for Dr. Fate

that sometimes when you don't see Dems in the media, it's because the media doesn't want you to.

[blm]

14. True.....but Doc rides all their butts, because it should be exposed that

it's happening, even though saying so publicly will insure further ostracization. If a BLOCK of them did it, it might have an effect. But, surely Biden and Lieberman will say they never experience any obstacles, whatsoever.

Tough one for any Dem, but at least we know Doc's motivations are sincere.

[LittleClarkie]

15. Indeed, his motives are pure and sincere, but it's important to know that

this is happening to our Dems, and to take it into account when he rides them about not getting publicity.

The Doc and I are cool.

[blm]

16. I know.

One of the things I love about you both - sincerity PLUS common sense PLUS a sense of humor.

17. k & r

[BlueIris]

18. So proud to be the fifth recommendation for this topic.

Pay attention, non-supporters.

If Kerry was "your" candidate, could you be moved to recognize and appreciate the unfair treatment? Picture your guy having to work through this kind of blatantly prejudiced media oppression. Now do you give a shit?

[babylonsister]

19. It goes beyond non-supporters of Kerry. It's any liberal

who says anything intelligent that goes against the current regime, depending on who's reporting. KO has been a media hero to me, but Tweety is playing both sides.

[bobalu]

25. I do and it pisses me off!...I did support Kerry, and I'm particularly

bothered that the msm does this shit with all the repubs claiming "the dems have no plan"

..As to Tweety, he grew up in my neighborhood in Philly, although I didn't know him...You probably know he WAS a Democrat, working for Tip O'Neil in the '80s.

[babylonsister]

26. Welcome to DU, bobalu! nt

[NNN0LHI]

24. Its a lie blm! I see Lieberman on all the time. He gets lots of face time

Oh wait a minute. I am starting to see what you mean. I think you may be right after all.
