I listened to Obama's speech live, and was inspired by Obama's ability to make us feel connected with the world and the world connected with us. In less than 30 minutes, Obama outlined the issues confronting us throughout the world and discussed our shared responsibility to address these issues. This speech not only resonated with me, but apparently with people throughout the world.
However, the MSM will not rest. Immediately, they went on the attack with CBS snidely suggested that 200,000 was less than the 1 million allegedly predicted despite the fact that there was simply no room for 1 million people given that people were hanging from light poles to here Obama's speech. Then, when it became impossible to deny the success of the speech, the MSM repeated its prior theme that Americans will not appreciate a President who is well received abroad.
At home, both during and after Obama's speech, the MSM flooded the internet and air waves with polls suggesting that Obama was not trusted, and that he was risky on foreign affairs despite the success of his trip abroad and his ability to understand foreign affair issues that would confront him at home.
At home, McCain's errors and lies are either editted out or minimized as innocent little senior moments.
At home, the MSM had no choice but to show fairly pathetic pictures of McCain addressing an aisle of Dairy products while the GOP engaged in amateurish stunts such as holding tiny rallies in American cities named Berlin. Of course, after criticizing Obama for not taking a foriegn trip, the GOP hyporitically touted McCain's presense domestically, and the media continued to uncritically repeat GOP talking points, When the GOP complained about Obama's "citizen of the world" reference only KO was willing to point out that Ronald Reagan himself had use this tag when addressing the UN.
The scenes, Obama's words and McCain's lies should speak for themselves, yet the GOP controlled MSM continues to tell us what to think, and sadly many Americans continue to listen. Thus, is there any hope for Democracy when our media has become so corrupt such that Americans lose the ability to develop their own opinion. The degree of coordination by the MSM is incredible. The liberal media bias theme was aired almost simultaneously accress various network channels as if on cue. Perhaps democracy is now dead, the ability to think for ourselves is now ancient history, and a McCain victory in November will confirm the fears whispered on DU, that corporate media has overthrown the Democracy that we as Americans have long taken for granted.
