"...if you want to hear anybody's true views, you cannot do it in the same room as the press,"--Howard Dean, DNC Chair.

The head of the Democratic Party said Wednesday that the best way to get presidential candidates to talk frankly about issues is to lock out the media. —Reported by AP Press
You have to wonder how anyone above a fourth grade education can be a Democrat or a Liberal that supports Democrat politics. Don’t these guys know anything about the Constitution?
As reported by the AP press DNC Chairman Howard Dean speaking before the Mortgage Bankers Association asserted that a media lock out would be the answer to get Democrats to speak candidly about the issues. So does that mean everything that we hear in the media spoken by a Democrat is…less than forthright?
Bar the press says Dean and hold closed meetings and Democrats will say all of the things that they’ve been holding back. Yeah things like, “The war is lost” a la Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid? I wonder what Senator Reid was really thinking?
"The media has been reduced to info-tainment," Dean said. "Info-tainment sells, the problem is they reach the lowest common denominator instead of forcing a little education down our throats, which we are probably in need of from time to time."
Of course, You probably get your information from ABC, CBS or NBC or maybe you’re a hard-core information junkie and plug in to cable news, CNN, or MSNBC. Like many Americans you probably subscribe to the Times newspaper in your area but according the DNC chair you’re not as smart as you think!
As a matter of fact you are being info-tained and you are the “lowest common denominator” who has an aversion to education.
Just remember that the next time you attempt to debate the issues with an opponent and you cite your mainstream media sources. Democrat National Chairman Howard Dean says that your sources are stupid and so are you!
Hey which mainstream media network is carrying tonight's Democrat Presidential Debates?
Just thought I’d ask … You know there’s always Fox News!
If its your venue, you can lock out anybody you want.
You just can’t bar folks from talkin’ about it to the press, later.
The Shadow Government does not like the light of TRUTH shown on their actions.
Reid knows that the phrase "The war is lost" harkens back to Cranky Cronkite and Vietnam. Who knows if he honestly BELIEVES this is the case. The point is the Democrats want to pull out and defeat is as good a reason as any.
They want to run the country and they don't want to manage a war (let alone be criticized for the way they manage it). So the goal is to end the war altogether before the 2008 election and later blame any international fallout on "The Bush Administration's boondoggle".
Not the point little ray, the point is the democrats attempting to control speech! They virtually boycotted Fox News and now the DNC Chair is suggesting Barring all media... Come on man!
That’s right weegee!
Wish all my friends were as smart as you! Good analysis!
No media > no coverage > no platform > (hopefully) no votes. Might be a good thing.
In any case property rights trump media access.
Besides there would be plenty of folks willing to talk to the press for their 15 minutes...
I agreee that the Republicans couldn’t get away with saying this, or boycotting CNN, but, heck, they’d be happy if someone would just tell the truth...
I’m beginning to think that 2008 is the Democrat’s to lose - and that they’re working realy hard to lose it!
Interesting...I’ll keep a lookout.
They are the advanced degreed propagandizing the unlettered. Hillary’s constituents dropped out of his. The college educated vote R.

I have heard the same argument from those who vote D.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it, did it make a sound?
