Top Democratic congressional leaders are complaining to network and cable television news executives that the networks are giving the party short shrift in national security stories.
"Until now, there has been a complete absence of balance in the news coverage of national security issues," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in letters sent yesterday to top news executives at NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News Channel and CNN.

They're probably hearing it from the moonbats who do believe the networks are part of the VRWC.

Definitely the very deep end. You'd think they know the Dems don't really have a position on national security.
And some thought Ronald Reagan slept through cabinet meetings. Bwaahahahahhahahahhhahaha

Are they, in effect, demanding that the networks make stuff up?

That must have been a hilarious conference call: "I'm really, really, really sorry Nancy and Harry, you know we'll help you out, but ya gotta give us something to report besides Bush Lied. Turns out nobody believes that's a good national security policy."

They've got a half-point. Republicans do get more airplay than Democrats. Which should surprise precisely no one, because Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. We're the ones actually doing stuff. So of course the stuff that we do is going to get covered. You can only cover Dems complaining for so long.

WHY DON'T YOU CALL FOR THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!!!

This is just too much. I never thought I would see the day....WOW! I don't think the Democrats are nearly as confident as they want people to believe concerning the upcoming elections.
BTW...I guess they miss Keith Olberman's show along with Chris Matthews.
