Progressive values and ideals were not rejected on Election Day. That’s the first thing we should keep in mind. This was a very close campaign, too close to draw any conclusions about the public’s embrace or dismissal of any ideology. Indeed, there is still much reason to believe the public shares our core values: equal treatment and opportunity for all,… return to article

Reader Comments (7)Page 1 of 1 pagesto answer your question on what the media attention should be on - how about the truth -the unbiased truth for a change. Stop pushing the liberal agenda. example how many pictures of Abu Grahib did you post on the news outlets- oh the humanity- now how about pictures of the house where all the hostages were butchered. How about the outrage for that. Unless you folks in the media start policing yourself a little better and weeding out wackos like dan rather and his blatant lies and bias you too will go the way of the democrats. Bloggers have already put a massive dent in your credibility and you need to get the clear message -stop being a biased mouthpiece for the liberal democratic party and beg forgiveness from the American people .
Posted by redstate on Nov 18, 2004 at 1:04 PM Media Matters for America is doing a good job of monitoring the media.
Posted by Mikhail Capone on Nov 18, 2004 at 5:36 PM http://www.mediaresearch.org/ is another site monitoring the media from the “other side” My humble advice it to go the site posted by Mikhail and then mediaresearch read both and make an informed opinion somewhere in the middle.
Posted by redstate on Nov 18, 2004 at 8:05 PM Apparently ‘redstate’ still believes that the media is liberal, sad.
More liberals attack the media for not telling the truth than his ilk. Blues can handle the truth. The tragedy is that when we finally pressure the media to expose it, reds call it lies. That’s the Orwellian world we find ourselves in.
Reds can’t see that mainstream (corporate) media is keeping the truth from them so their heads won’t implode. The media is protecting them; pundits are explaining events so that they can understand them; because they simply can’t think for themselves. Sites like ‘mediasearch’ just condenses the talking points into a pablum of easily swallow-able slurps for them.
Peace is war, pal.
Posted by Pleiku on Nov 18, 2004 at 11:18 PM all I am saying is you need to look at every angle and then decide for yourself what the truth is. I think the truth is that sometimes I almost feel sad for “the media” they can’t seem to please anybody. being able to think for yourself is the most important part of making an informed decision.
Posted by redstate on Nov 19, 2004 at 5:54 AM With all due respect, the first and most important item on the agenda must be to make all voting systems nationwide auditable and recountable. We must have a paper trail for all voting systems or there is really no point in having further elections. In addition the current practice having openly partisan officials, such as Katherine Harris and J Kenneth Blackwell, make, enforce and change the rules as it suits them must be stopped. Until we have open transparent election procedures overseen by objective non-partisan officials, all talk of policy positions and campaign strategies are a total waste of time and effort. If these problems are not addressed, Democrats may never win another national election.

Posted by DAS on Nov 19, 2004 at 10:00 AM redstate is often on MMA spewing his version of truth, apparently attempting to sway liberals, progressives, and Democrats to his narrow-minded viewpoints. It is quite remarkable that he and his kind are convinced that they (in DeLay’s own words) are the “permanent majority party” in this country and that dissenting views are un-patriotic.
That all being said, redstate’s level of intelligence can be summed up in one observation - redstate watches FOX News.
