You know, it almost seems as if the media whores are coming
to terms with the idea that Kerry is most likely going to win the presidency.

Even Imus predicted this morning that Kerry is going to win.

They seem...sad. Too bad for them, though. In time, they'll come to love Kerry just like they end up love anybody that gets propped up in front of them day after day, no matter how much of a dumbass chimp the person is.

1. It was 'Bad Time for Bozo' last night, even on CNN.
The sharks smell it in the water. New menu.

2. Yeah. They've enjoyed being co-presidents with *.
The wonderful embedded war, cleaning up all the mumblings and fumblings before airtime, really being on the team. Sad to think of possibly having to do their jobs.

3. Most of today's new media was ushered in to counter Clinton
and blunt the effectiveness of our party. Not much has or will change until we demand it.

7. Sir/Ma'am, your post says it all
The media is just one (major) facet of the many cultural and social institutions run by the the rethugs to lay the groundwork of their war
to eliminate opposition, constitution be damned. I expect Whitewater II, Troopergate II, anythin outragoeus and unfounded in fact to be used against our new president. Once we win this, our focus should next be a huge, coordinated nationwide campaign to reform the media and try to bring back a fairness doctrine. I am so disheartened by the institutions founded by elites like Coors, Olin, Scaife, etc have been allowed to flourish and act as a governement in exile when their guy is out of power, plotting and scheming to undo the fabric that holds us together.

4. I've noticed their confusion
...but think of what they have on their plate.

The key is to kiss up to the winner... but their polling is telling them it's too close to call. They can't start saying Kerry is actually ahead, because that ruins the horserace, which is good for circulation/viewership numbers.

Conflicting motivation. If any of them were real analysts, it could make for interesting news. But nooooo... :eyes:

5. Agree. Tweety, Fineman, Chuck Todd, etc
are sounding like they're coming around. Within the past few days they've all said that the everything is looking good for Kerry, that he appears to have the momentum.

The whores bow to two things: money and public opinion. They've stuck their fingers in the wind and see that it's blowing in Kerry's direction. The people want change and they know it. The whores don't want to be left behind and are hitching themselves to Kerry's wagon.

6. You mean even the Goober Howard Fineman has stopped
sipping the Bush kool-aid?
