Really. the other night I saw Stretch run a piece (repeated on Olberman, probably on tweety, too) which was VERY negative about Kerry's IWR vote. In FACT, it LIED about what Kerry said, saying he voted to go to WAR, going along with Bush's lie about it, which they showed, along with a few more insulting clips about Kerry. The respective facetime in that clip was about four to one for Bush, with the whole apparently DESIGNED to make Kerry look very bad.
To his 'credit' tweety revisited that story the next day, correcting the impression that Kerry voted to go along with Bush to war, giving him carte blanche, but, like the swiftliar story, the damage was already done, giving the media their cover for post-mortems (we eventually reported the story, just as we did AWOL, so what's your BEEF?)
I know this is beating a dead horse, but is there ANY way to hold them accountable?
Or should Kerry just make a friggin campaign ISSUE out of corporate media, and talk about it EVERY DAY, making it a centerpiece of his campaign, cause he's sure getting screwed, blued and tattoed, just as Gore was.
I know the CONVENTIONAL wisdom is that he'll just look like a whiner, but the truth is the truth, and he should employ somebody, like, oh, say, MICHAEL MOORE as his top media consultant.
how cool would THAT be?
have him make some films/commercials where he bugs the crap out of the likes of the big three anchors, wolf, tweety, exogal, the human refrigerator, etal, and ask them why they can't tell the TRUTH once and for all, ESPECIALLY about BUSH?
LIKE: this is what the media WILL NOT TELL YOU about the Bush administration
stuff like that
