obama must feel like he's running against mccain and the entire u.s. media

[spanone]

i've never seen a media so united in defeating a candidate....imho

[devilgrrl]

1. Watch the media suddenly "wake up!" when Obama wins.

Oh that liberal media!!!

[Jack Bone]

2. They've gotta keep the horse race going...

it's a easy revenue stream for them.

[ixion]

3. it's been that way since 2000... they would have done so against Clinton

but weren't as organized at that point, although they were still plenty adversarial.

[fasttense]

7. Yeah, the corporate media seemed to have organized

their anti-liberal bias with the ridiculous Impeachment of President Clinton. The media beat that anti-liberal drum to death over the faux impeachment. So much so, it spurred a move-on movement. They keep beating that drum every chance they get.

9. actually since 1998 when the Republicans rushed through Rupert Murdoch's

citizenship so that they could allow him to bypass the rules about media ownership

[blm]

16. Since the late 90s, then they used the cover of 9-11 to drop the mask and OPENLY promote the fascist

agenda of their corporate masters, that just happens to coincide with the needs of BushInc.

They even got many Democrats to put all blame onto Gore after 2000 and then Kerry after 2004, and they'll do the same to Obama IF most Democrats keep blaming the target of the corpmedia lie machine instead of using their energy to FIGHT THE LIES and the machine that generates those lies.

4. Ah shucks, don't you know?

They're just doing their job. :sarcasm:

[spanone]

5. and their job is to point out every possible flaw in obama while giving mccain a pass

[Big Blue Marble]

15. Exactly, That sums it up. n/t.

[Dhalgren]

6. Everyone should have known this was coming.

The media siding with the republicans is "par for the course". Welcome to the American Empire - it's how we roll...

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. They'll get on board when it's evident Gramps is going nowhere but down

They will have to get behind him sooner or later.

[spanone]

10. we'll see. i have my doubts.

[stillcool]

14. They lied us into war...

the only reason they get behind anything or anyone is because it serves their purpose.

[Virginia Dare]

11. They're looking silly and stupid at this point..

That silly wench on FAUX this morning was whining about how Obama gets more coverage 'cause he's sexier...:rofl: My irony meter exploded.

Obama has the potential to become one of the most important and beloved leaders of our time, the American media is being "left behind", and rightly so.

[caledesi]

19. I agree! NT

[seabeyond]

12. did you watch 2004? 2000? there was not a single positive thing about

kerry. at all. in all the media watching i did at that time on all three news channels, i never once heard something p[ositive about kerry. i did about bush even in all his mess. never kerry

[unpossibles]

17. I love how right wingers try to tell me that the media is pro-Obama

What? Is that why everyone seems to say he's a Muslim/Terrorist/etc.?

[Supersedeas]

18. you mean Barrack Osama...followed by the giggly apology
