You'd think that F'n won the presidency, considering how much the MSM is showing of his concession speech.

Bush battled the MSM, Pop Culture, rock stars, movie stars, hostile debate hosts, the UN, propagandists, many effed up world governments AND Kerry. And STILL won. Wow.
But we need to win bigger next time. It was still too close. NOBODY should have wanted to vote for Kerry.

If it had not been for the relentless, ceaseless barrage of pro-Kerry, anti-Bush propaganda coming from the "Mainstream Newsmedia", which is the most powerful propaganda machine in history, Kerry would never have been a serious contender for the presidency.

The American people held steadfast under this barrage.

Any people who can do this can do anything.

Well, as one pundit put it earlier today, the MSM's effort to drag the dead horse from MA across the finish line came up short. Way short ...

It was disgraceful. Let's hope there's a remedy in capitalism rather than law.

Bush was covered very negatively this year, according to the study, but he did not match the amount of bad press faced by Ronald Reagan in 1984.

I remember this harsh treatment. Which is why I was stunned at all the accolades from liberals at Reagan's funeral. I'll bet it will be the same when Bush is gone. After they can look back with perspective, they will be able to see what he really has done.

If you think they were obsequious with Kerry, wait until Hillary starts her run!

It makes me wonder how much bigger the margin would have been if the media coverage was 'fair and balanced'.

IMO the worst problem with the medias coverage of this campaign was their complete refusal to make Kerry answer any of the multitude of legitimate questions surrounding his military service and his anti-American activities in the early 1970's.

I don't mind the media being critical so much as I do them conspiring with a candidate to hide the truth from the American people. And the media had to be in on the fix or someone somewhere would have slipped up and asked the wrong question, and Kerry would have been put on the spot in public.

And so the question is raised: With the media overwhelmingly on his side, why didn’t Kerry win?

How about he turned his back on his fellow soldiers, then called them baby killers the likes of not seen since "Genghis Khan".

Then spent 20 years as US Senator doing nothing for your country.

Then when accepting your party's nomination for POTUS having the moronic audacity to state "Reporting for Duty".

Also having your lame duck "Trial Lawyer" appointment for VPOTUS saying that his band of brothers are with him or something to that effect.

Thanks again Swifties!

This is good but misses the huge issues:

1. Sweeping under the rug of Swift Vets charges.
2. Claiming Switees' charges have been "discredited"
3. Backtracks and recants by Kerry due to #1.
4. Failure to pursue Kerry records (Form 180)
5. Total integrity collapse by CBS in RatherGate
6. Total integrity collapse by ABC in VietCongGate 2004.

(add as you see fit)

BTW - has CBS finally called the election for Bush, or is Rather still holding out on some mathematical impossibility - perhaps resorting to the use of complex numbers, and mapping the electoral votes to the frequency domain? What's the frequency Kenneth?

Up against the odds like we were there is no human way, IMHO, that we could have won this. All praise and glory to God.

We don't have TV but can someone tell me how many of CBS's 60 Minutes shows were actual shows and how many were Bush hit pieces.

On a related note, were there ANY news pieces on the Breck Girl's 'channeling' junk science lawsuits that put doctors and hospitals out of business?

It still amazes me that "old media" brought old weapons to what they thought was an old time election war. What they did not realize was the times had passed them by and in their arrogance, they failed to interpret the times. They fought with the weapons of their marginalized stature, newspapers and elite nightly news while Karl Rove was using the diffused troops of bloggers and other passionate volunteers. Bows and arrows vs. Uzi's.

The media has never had as great an affect on society as it does now.

I do not agree. People are beginning to realize just how biased the MSM really are.

Evan Thomas of Newsweek claimed that the enthusiastic support of the mainstream media would be "worth 15 pts to the Kerry campaign".

If that's true, it would suggest that Kerry himself and the Democrat party machine, by themselves, could only gin up one-third of the vote.

Thus, without the support of the MSM, the Democrats are revealed as an ineffectual minority.

The Dems and the Old Media will back to their seditious selves in a few weeks.

Old Media is a very apt description if anyone happened to watch SeeBS on election night.

They were propping those old coots up with wire and string.

"Bush was covered very negatively this year, according to the study, but he did not match the amount of bad press faced by Ronald Reagan in 1984. "

Yes. The MSM eyeing up both Ronald Regan and George W. Bush sensed such a threat to what they believe in that they have had no alternative but to do unfair battle through the deviouse ultra liberal organs.

The are terrified to their souls, people like bRather, when encountering leaders that truly appear blessed by God to lead a nation found in freedom to stay free and strong and embrace Judeao Christian values and conservative values.

They are no different then Satan as he must have felt when His Creator kicked him out of the fold........hissing, knashing of his teeth, slited eyes peering with hate and envy.

How else can I view the actions of this large group of people that by many accounts have lost their souls in the pursuit of helping form a total socialistic society where all forms of sin may be both condoned by the state and actually encouraged. They in their lust to cheapen and bring down those that seek a higher calling in how they govern, only show to anyone with some values just how low they have sank. Soon they will loose their limbs and learn how to better practice their evil ways, by sleethering to and fro.
So much the more to seek alternate and honest journalism where it still exists.
