Lanny Davis, Donna Brazile, Carville & Begala....are these the only
people the media can ask questions of regarding the current Democratic party? They have so jumped the shark and we need to be represented in the media by someone other than old Clinton people.

1. Part of the reason the MSM has abetted the RW's caricaturing of
Howard Dean is because Dean is a tough-as-nails Democrat. Too dangerous, the MSM apparently believes. Dean might sway more-and-more people to become Democrats, so the RW insists that the "Dean scream" be spammed as often as possible, to turn Dean into a cartoon.

2. Perhaps the corpses of JFK, FDR, LBJ and Truman
could be dug up and dispached to the various punditfests. The corpses might be less knowledgeable, charismatic and impressive than the idiots you named but I don't see how.

4. the other day when MSNBC brought up its panel...
...of experts, I realized that every pundit available is a dried-up has-been. That day's panel was Kate O'Beirn and Bob Schrum. Withered losers, both of them! Geez.

6. The corporate media must be destroyed.
It is our enemy.

The Democratic party must do more to prevent the corporate media from showcasing unimpressive Democratic spokespeople.

On the other side, why do they continue to give air time to Ann Coulter? She is not an official republican spokesperson but her mug is on teevee all the time with her insane anti-liberal rants.

7. Bring back the "Fairness Doctrine" first thing Dems must do...and overhaul
the FCC!!! (although we have to wait for Bush to exit before we can change the balance on the FCC).

Bringing the "Fairness Doctrine" back would be a huge step in getting some honest discourse out there in the Media. Mandated equal time. We had it before and it worked so it needs to be reinstated.

8. Absolutely
without the Fairness Doctrine, nothing else can be changed, no progress can be made, democracy cannot be protected.

9. I agree, they spew the same old message. My guess is they are
trying to salvage the Clinton power structure.
