One day before caucus and the only news channel covering it - Faux
CNN and MSNBC suck. All afternoon and the evening - it's "fluff stuff" on those two channels.

I'm stuck watching Faux in order to get campaign news and let me tell you - despite the fact I can't stand the "bent" of that channel - it's run "tightly." No wonder they're beating the pants off those other two channels. We've gotta get our own news channel (for Liberals). I sure hope we'll have one up and running before the General Election.

1. yeah that's theirs standard format.
msnbc has no weekend live news except in the morning, though I think Tweety's having a special show tonight.

3. Try C-span.
They're covering it too, although Kucinich has been conspicuously absent today.

7. It's the Republicans now
Thought I'd give a little warning. I'm watching to see what they've got going. Not much. Democrats are negative and Bush is optimistic, bla bla bla. And not really that great of a response either.

6. Help me out.
I really don't understand. The only news will be tomorrow night. Late in the EST. Is it really that important? The way it looks now is that the slim pickin's will go four ways more or less. It looks like nobody will "win".
Any candidate can beat Bush. Settle down.

8. You are not alone in this. I have actually been watching them.
But faithfully you can always see the whore in them come right out. That FOX guy interviewed Trippi and turns right to camera and says, "But the man with the buzz is John Kerry". I may not be supporting Dean, but that was cold. Never failing GOP TV. Embarrass at all costs. AHHHH, CNN come back, MSNBC come back, why let FOX be the only thing us junkies can watch.

12. They want their story.
Why do you think they have hit Dean with so many scathing reports? They are trying to drag him down. If Kerry wins Iowa, expect many of the same types of reports on him.

13. Buzz, but no organization
I can't believe I have been watching FOX all day. It's so embarrassing....

I agree that they keep saying that Kerry has "the buzz," but we're reminded every couple minutes that he has a weak organization in place. Come on! I know he doesn't have the union-based organization like Dean or Gep, but it's not like there are only four volunteers and a little red wagon either.
