Just how did you read that into my response? Perhaps you might want to read what I've written before responding

Well here is what you said.

Guess what, the Republican/conservative message doesn't get out due to the major media outlets, so your "talking point" goes nowhere. The reality of the situation (which apparently you choose to ignore) is that most Americans only know what the major media tells them. For them, the talking point WOULD have been President Bush and the Repubs are against meaningful campaign finance reform.

You clearly show your belief of how strong the media is and with CFR they clearly are the biggest winners as they will not have to worry about organized groups of citizens getting their viewpoint out. The media are huge huge winneers with this GOP weakening bill. You dont have to say that the Bill weakens the GOP, it is clear and has been analyzed by almost every conservative analyst who talks about it as strengthening the media - since there is no provision for their speech and editorializing to be curtailed.

And you replied:

So your answer is to give more power through CFR to the liberal media.........LMAO

So, I ask again, how do you get that from what I wrote. I did not express a desire to give more power to the media. I pointed out how the media has done their best to marginalize the loss of speech by those outside the media. A veto would have resulted in another spin by the media saying that the Administration was ONLY against meaningful campaign finance reform. Admitting that CFR stifles free speech and their gain in power will never escape the lips of most of the major media.
