    Default Media Goes into the tank again for a Dem

    On October 29, 2008 Senator Christopher Dodd was interviewed on WELI; a local New Haven radio station. The only "local" show was one hosted by Tom Scott. The balance of their programming is provided by nationally syndicated conservative radio personalities.

    Scott had repeatedly accused Dodd of mortgage fraud over his refinance from Countrywide in 2003 at below market interest. Scott repeatedly asked Dodd why he did not release his mortgage application and his HUD application. Dodd claimed the matter was "still being investigated" but Scott pointed out that it was only the Senate Ethics Committee and Dodd was perfectly free to release anything he wanted.

    The interview NEVER aired and WELI never said why it didn't air. On November 12, 2008 it ended up on the internet and can be downloaded on a variety of sites. Despite Scott screaming "censorship" and "favoritism" for days, it was only reported in the press.... today. About two weeks after Election Day. Hmmmm. I'm sure it was just an amazing coincidence.

    yup, aren't the coincidence in coincidences becoming highly coincidental lately !!!

    (snip)"In wooing federal employee votes on the eve of the election, Barack Obama wrote a series of letters to workers that offer detailed descriptions of how he intends to add muscle to specific government programs, give new power to bureaucrats and roll back some Bush administration policies.

    The letters, sent to employees at seven agencies, describe Obama's intention to scale back on contracts to private firms doing government work, to remove censorship from scientific research, and to champion tougher industry regulation to protect workers and the environment. He made it clear that the Department of Housing and Urban Development would have an enhanced role in restoring public confidence in the housing market, shaken because of the ongoing mortgage crisis.

    Using more specifics than he did on the campaign trail, Obama said he would add staff to erase the backlog of Social Security disability claims. He said he would help Transportation Security Administration officers obtain the same bargaining rights and workplace protections as other federal workers. He even expressed a desire to protect the Environmental Protection Agency's library system, which the Bush administration tried to eliminate.

    "I asked him to put it in writing, something I could use with my members, and he didn't flinch," said John Gage, president of the 600,000-member American Federation of Government Employees, who requested that Obama write the letters, which were distributed through the union. "The fact that he's willing to put his name to it is a good sign."

    The letters, all but one written Oct. 20, reveal a candidate adeptly tailoring his message to a federal audience and tapping into many workers' dismay at funding cuts and workforce downsizing in the Bush years. Many of Obama's promises would require additional funding, something he acknowledged would be difficult to achieve under the current economic conditions."(snip)

    It will also be very interesting to see if this new movie is able to get any media attention or theater screenings ...
