My letter to CNN & Wolf::
I am just curious of what Wolf plans on doing when the Democrats get back in control. Since he is doing such a great job of catering to the "powers that be right now"; what does he plan on doing to cover the other party when they take control which there is a very good possibility as the number of things that are totally out of control at the present.

Also, the fact that none of us have to listen to CNN or read your website now that we can read the British or French news or the news anywhere else in the world.

I look forward to the day when you start just reporting the news as it is or the truth instead of slanting it like FOX.

solution IMHO.

2. I'll tell you what to expect if the Democrats get back in power.
Expect a never ending deluge of RW lies, slander and attacks. Think "Clinton Years" on steroids.

6. Well for your info, I don't what to become like a right winger and
not know what the hell the enemy is doing or what the rest of the world is thinking or doing.

I would prefer knowing what others are thinking so I know how in the fuck to talk to them.

I don't want to in "Gods Sake" not read them.

8. No, expect a lot of MSM 'sucking up' to the Democrats.
There will always be government contracts that the corporations who own the networks will want in their pockets.

It would be appropriate (although I won't hold my breath) for the next Democratic administration to decree that they are not about 'to do bidness' with the very companies who wouldn't give them a fair shake during the Republican years ...

9. If the media mistreats the Dems as they did to Clinton....
they will pay when the Democrats refuse further deregulation deals.

11. You have a more optimistic view than I.
The Republicans are the ones that support the corporate media. I can see even the smallest and most harmless of missteps on our side blown way out of proportion. The direct opposite of what they do now to Chimp.

Perhaps you're right, I hope you are. Hell, I just hope to have the chance to find out. Having that chance would mean we won.

3. Remember the Clinton years? Every sin the repubs came up with
in regards to Clinton was immediately all over the MSM, even though 99% of it was crap.

4. One fatal flaw in your letter...
You assume the democrats will be back in control.

The republicans have no intention of relinquishing power, and no crummy "election" is going to stand in their way.

5. Very nice!
We should all be asking him these questions every day. - Especially since he is so 'in our face' every evening before dinner.

Sadly, like Tweety, I suspect that it's all about the $ for Wolfie too.

7. The question is: How much will they pay him?
I'm sure he's got a good deal going with the RNC. Any Dem admin will have to at least match his price.

10. Fuck him, if the dems do get control, I hope the hell they move
towards breaking up any monopoly of any news organization.

If we getback to Independent News, then we can start getting the truth again.

13. Maybe he's reading the tea leaves differently?

Who says the other party is going to take over?
I remember people thinking it just couldn't fail to go our way in 2002. We got slaughtered and a lot of people were surprised.
