The series of tubes have spoken…
Published by punkass marc February 7th, 2007 in Media hackery…and the non-crazies hanging out in them have let it be known they stand behind Amanda and Shakes Sis 100% and hope they remain part of the campaign.

Liza’s list is even more up to date with the outpouring of support.
The artificial concern generated by the hypocritical attention-hogs overseeing the right wing noise machine was once again willingly lapped up by the mainstream media. Instapundit, Michelle “Put people in concentration camps” Malkin, and Rick Donahue have been treated as perfectly reasonable sources of inspiration for coverage from the AP, NYT, ABC, CNN, CBS, and other outlets. Strangely, though, none of the powerful liberal voices I just enumerated have been given their “fair and balanced” space to offer counterpoint in the world of old media.
The game is rigged, folks. Fortunately, this avalanche of support may be too strong for the establishment to ignore for very long. Let’s hope we get our say.
Marc, I hope you and Amanda (and Melissa) realize how much it hurts to see this bullshit going on to people you like and feel absolutely powerless to do anything about it.
You guys deserve far better than to be caught up in this evil stupidity…
Thanks for the link! And nice list!
One thing: The link to “Glenn Reynalds” actually leads to Glenn Greenwald’s site.
Probably because that’s how zuzu had it earlier. Cracks me up. I think we should start calling him “Glenn Reynolds” just for the fun of imagining some wingnut clicking the link all excitedly, only to discover . . . another betrayal by the nefarious left!
But that’s just me.
Thanks again, Marc.
Ampersand:
Whoops! I guess I’m forever tarred. I look forward to being flayed by the NYT.
I have now nefariously scrubbed the post of my inaccuracies. Whatever you are talking about is crazy and never happened.
I’m on board in the most elliptical way possible. What is WRONG with me?
Hey! I was rushing out the door to a job interview!
Well, I sure hope they don’t find out what you’ve done, zuzu, or it’s lights out. This kind of Glenn Reynolds/Greenwald bigotry won’t be tolerated by the Donahueites and Malkinites.

Well, I’m not pro-Edwards, but I am in wholehearted support of Amanda and Melissa. My blog’s just too non-bloggy to make any difference.
Bloodless on board.
It the internets, JackGoff. If anything, your blog counts for more than your vote.
Better not sign me up. Although I support The Terrible Two, I don’t have a horse in the race - for obvious reasons I was never going to vote for Edwards anyhow
