NY Times Attacks Democrats.com
28-Oct-04
Democrats.com Publicity

Thanks to the Internet, those of us who read the newspapers can challenge those who write them when they lie, deceive, or promote one party over the other. According to Jim Rutenberg of the NY Times, this grassroots criticism has some reporters VERY upset. Rutenberg names three reporters who apparently are the most upset: Howard Fineman of Newsweek, Adam Nagourney of the NY Times, and Nedra Pickler of the AP. Ms. Pickler seems particularly unhappy about Democrats.com, which has labeled her "Tokyo Rose" and an "anti-Kerry propagandist." Gee Nedra, wethinks thou doth protest too much!

Newsday Says Democrats.com is 'Puttin' Some Kick in the Old Donkey'
27-Sep-02
Democrats.com Publicity

Newsday's Ellis Henican writes, "Holed up in a converted maid's room in his family's Queens apartment...Fertik has been trying to put the fight back into his fellow Democrats. A longtime political activist with strong ties to the women's movement, he isn't new to these battles. Nor is he bashful about incorporating new technology into the fight. The result: a vibrant Internet community of fellow Democratic activists and a merciless, Republican-bashing Web site, www.democrats.com. He and co-founder David Lytel, who ran the White House Web site in the Clinton years... have assembled a like-minded cadre of 'aggressive progressives'... Their assaults employ the rhetorical baseball bat and the mischievous jab... Internet politics pioneer Kurt Ehrenberg of fastpolitics.com says he's become a fan. 'You gotta love a Web site where you can play a game called, 'Pick Up Ann Coulter' and the front page cartoon calls the president of the US a drunken chicken-hawk,' Ehrenberg joked."

Fertik v. O'Reilly Round 2 - Fertik Takes a Late Hit After the Whistle Blows - So Who's the Master Spinner?
26-Sep-02
Democrats.com Publicity

Fox's Bill O'Reilly couldn't debate Democrats.com's Bob Fertik on the facts, so O'Reilly resorted to name-calling and ultimately threw Bob off the air. After Fertik left - and could not defend himself - O'Reilly awarded "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day" to Fertik's claim that the latest CBS poll showed a majority opposed to Bush's War in Iraq. O'Reilly said, "When asked by CBS, 'Do you approve or disapprove of the US taking military action against Iraq to try to remove Saddam Hussein from power?' 68% of Americans approved, 26% disapproved. Once again, this is a No Spin Zone. We are not going to tolerate deception by anyone because it is ridiculous, all right?" But the same poll reported 61% said the US needs to wait for its allies before taking any action against Iraq, while only 31% said Iraq presents such a clear danger to American interests that the US needs to act now, even without the support of its allies. Hey Bill, late hits suck - we challenge you to a REAL debate!

Democrats.com's Bob Fertik Cleans Bill O'Reilly's Clock in Face-to-Face Debate
25-Sep-02
Democrats.com Publicity

In the first head-to-head debate between Democrats.com and FOX News, Democrats.com won! Bill O'Reilly tried to argue that Al Gore's historic speech was not important enough to warrant live coverage by the cable networks. Bob Fertik countered that Al Gore won the 2000 election, and his speech reflects the opinions of the MAJORITY of Americans who oppose Bush's War. O'Reilly tried to argue that the polls favor Bush's War, but Fertik cited the most recent CBS News poll:

52% US should follow recommendations of the UN
37% US should decide what to do on its own

57% US should wait and give the UN more time to get weapons inspectors back into Iraq
37% US should take military action against Iraq fairly soon

61% US needs to wait for its allies before taking any action against Iraq
31% Iraq presents such a clear danger to American interests that the US needs to act now, even without the support of its allies

Final Score: Democrats.com 1, O'Reilly 0
