Why I will be watching ABC and not a network airing the Propaganda Special
It makes no difference who I am voting to be the next President of the United States of America. I advise all viewers of this post to actually read it.

28 October 2008Why I will be watching ABC and not a network airing the Propaganda SpecialIt makes no difference who I am voting to be the next President of the United States of America. I advise all viewers of this post to actually read it. Fox, CBS and NBC have decided that money makes it okay to flex FCC rules about equal time and air a half-hour "special" of whatever Barack Obama decides is suitable propaganda to influence viewers and/or voters on Wednesday, October 29th. The "Barack Obama Message" will air at 8:00 p.m. EST. I will be watching ABC's "Pushing Daisies" instead because: 1) I regularly view the show and while this season has started a little rocky, the preview for this week's show looks better; 2) I watch several different news programs and I am sure they will all have clips; and 3) I already saw the good version on SNL last Saturday (too bad it was non-black mixed minority person in blackface playing Obama but then Lorne Michaels has a one-black-main cast-member-per-season rule and Keenan is too heavy). The part that pisses me off the most is "to accommodate a half-hour Obama time buy on Fox, Major League Baseball has agreed to move the start time of World Series Game 6 by about 15 minutes. That would move the start of the game from 8:20 p.m. EST or so to 8:35 p.m. Fox will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this longform format," Fox Sports said in a statement. "We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for Fox to carry his program on Oct. 29. If requested, the network would be willing to make similar time available to Senator McCain's campaign." Given that Obama lied about limiting his campaign to matching Federal Election funds and instead is funneling millions of dollars from Soros and his cronies through his DNC campaign by listing contributions from hundreds of names gleened (falsely) through ACORN's voter registration drive, I think McCain deserves his own half-hour. Remember those pesky FCC equal time rules? Meknows that a McCain-based program would not have received the bump and blessing because Rupert Murdoch doesn't want to be seen as "in the bag" for the RNC. Just what makes Obama so special that the great Major League of Baseball would move its first pitch time? M-O-N-E-Y. The blessing from MLB clears the way for Fox to air the promo and collect upward of $1 million in ad revenue for the half hour, more than what either CBS or NBC was charging. If McCain's advisor team has a brain cell left, they will buy an ad in every break on every network airing this "special aka program aka promo aka longform format propaganda" as I predict Obama won't mention McCain once during the infomercial. Include all the rules the 'special' is being allowed to break while reminding people Obama has already had three known assassination attempts since his nomination was secured in June. Should Obama be killed, there will be Joe Biden left to 'run' the country. A man whom most of Washington hates...to work with on anything. I might not be fond of "caribou barbie" but I suspect she'll be dialing Gore for advice on relieving boredom while McCain actually gets his agenda through a peeved Congress. It really saddens me that people are so desperate for "change" that they will take the same old shit because it comes in a shiny wide-eared package. Yet the shiny new VP package is shredded in ways that must make Hilary Clinton squeal with delight because she won't fit in the 1) 'expected' (huh? Ferraro is the mold? What meeting did I miss?); 2) RNC preferred (they don't forget anything in spinsville); and 3) controllable (aha) image that seems to be preferred by anyone who doesn't like her anti-abortion stance. I don't like it either (no one with a dick should have any say about anyone with a vagina is my stance) but I admire her taking on the RNC PR boot camper pressers to try and get her actual self through to voters. No matter who I do vote for in seven days, I can only hope that the person chosen by the 'legal' voters is able to make it through the next four years alive, having creating a better USA.
