Insight into the Arab Media ....

You need high speed access to see this interesting montage, translated video from the Middle Eastern cable news networks.

"There's some things you just don't have to spin."

Debate season begins ...

Scenes From Spin Alley - Karl?Rove, Mike McCurry, and other surrogates score the debate. By Chris?Suellentrop

Thursday, September 30, 2004

The Democrats have been circulating the following message on tonight's debate:

'Below is a list of all the sites where people can vote on who won the debate. Please forward them far and wide. The Republicans will doubtlessly be organizing volumes of people to vote, so this is critical.

'We all know what happened in 2000. Al Gore won the first debate on the issues, but Republicans stole the post-debate spin. We're not going to let that happen again, and you will play a big role. Immediately after the debate, we need you to do three things. Vote in online polls. Write a letter to the editor, and call into talk radio programs. Your 10 minutes of activism in the minutes following the debate can make the difference.'

Vote in online polls. National and local news organizations will all be conducting online polls during and after the debate asking for readers' opinions. Look for online polls at these national news web sites, and make sure to vote in every one of them:


ABC News: http://www.abcnews.com/


CBS News: http://www.cbsnews.com/


CNN: http://www.cnn.com/


MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/

Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/

USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/

And be sure to check the websites of your local newspapers and TV stations for online polls, and vote in them. It is crucial that you do this in the minutes immediately following the debate.


Immediately after the debate, go online and write a letter to the editor of your local paper. If you feel John Kerry commanded the debate and had a clear plan for fixing the mess in Iraq, write the letter. If you feel George Bush dodged tough questions on Iraq and didn't level with voters, then write the letter. With just a few clicks, you can write your letter at our online media center:


http://www.democrats.org/media


Call in to radio and TV talk shows. Do you listen to national or local call in shows on the radio? How about on TV? Call them and let them know what you thought of John Kerry's plan to keep America secure and George Bush's continuing refusal to admit the truth about his record.


Find shows in your area on our Speak Out website:
http://www.democrats.org/media/find.html


Your actions immediately after the debate tonight can make the difference to help John Kerry win on November 2. Make your voice heard beginning tonight!

Kerry's Swiftboat Experience to be Video Game

That's right, you read it correctly. Soon you will be able to play a first shooter game takng in the role of John F. Kerry. Kuma Reality Games hopes to "bring clarity" to what it really meant to lead swiftboaters in a brutal fight up the Mekong Delta. Depending on what 527 group you affiliate yourself with will determine if you even try to win this level.

We wait with aniticipation for the George W. Bush Game, most likely resembling The Sims.
