Sunday's Chicago Sun-Times Rips Obama.....

[global1]

I picked up the Sunday Times on Saturday and was scanning the pages. Here are a few of the items I came across:

1. Obama Team Tries To Shift Focus After Flat Speech, Weak Jobs Report by Lynn Sweet

2. Obama Can't Run On Record, So Dems Double Down On Lies by Steve Huntley

3. A Political Cartoon by Jack Higgins - Jack Higgins Opinion where he has Obama standing in front of the people at the DNC with a spotlight on him and his arms held up to the sky with the thought balloon from Obama's head saying "Why do we need God.. When we've already got me.

Now this is Obama's hometown paper and they are taking these shots at him. This is what people are reading and they are hearing in the MSM. I was blown away by these items slamming Obama and the Dems.

Are people in other parts of this country seeing the same type of shots being taken at Obama in their local papers?

1. That's really ugly.

I read the Los Angeles Times, and even though they are fairly conservative, their editorials are fair. They are not behaving like this.

Shame on the Chicago Sun-Times.

2. good question.

that is not the case in urban washington state. at least not that i have seen.
i agree that its shameful.

[indivisibleman]

3. This really disappoints me and it seems to me that this is

intentionally biased shots at Obama.
Flat speech? It wasn't over the top but it certainly wasn't flat.
Obama is running on his record, it is the Repugs that keep saying he isn't. Total nonsense.
The cartoon was the worst. Obama isn't saying this crap but Fox News sure is.
This is the sort of crap I hear from the right wingers at work that has no basis in fact. Makes me sick.

4. The Sun-Times is a conservative rag...it's Chicago's version of the NY Post

Useless, and everybody knows it.

5. Not sure about these days

but in 1984 the Sun Times was mainly read for its features . . . including a formless crossword that was moderately more fun than a regular crossword.

For intelligent reporting we read the Trib.

12. Isn't the Trib itself pretty brain dead these days (since Sam Zell first

acquired it and then ran it into bankruptcy)?

6. The media may have decided to bring Obama down.

7. Calm down

Lynn Sweet's column is pretty straight up. She provides the Obama campaign's take on the speech. She's been doing this for decades and guests on Bill Press. She's a pro.

Jack Higgins has been conservative all his days at the times. Nothing new.

Steve Huntley is just a partisan fogey.

There are several Liberal columnists/opinions currently running as well.

I will say that the Sun Times comments regulars give Yahoo and fox a run for their money.

8. Sounds like this newspaper...

9. I still remember the Sun-Times of yesteryear fondly

That was a long time ago, when it was the main liberal paper in Chicago.

10. WTF?

...I am SO over this shit.

These billion dollar media outlets are now just blatant...disgraceful and disgusting.

11. Well look at the people who you quote--dumb ass conservatives all.

[Zoeisright]

13. They can go fuck themselves.

[surrealAmerican]

14. I had no idea the Sun Times had gotten that bad.

They used to be a lot less conservative than the Tribune.

[and-justice-for-all]

15. The speech was not flat...

Obama's record is nothing to hide from. "Why do we need God.. When we've already got me. " thats is just fucking nosense.

Need to submitt a respose to the paper regarding those three things, send it in as a LTTE.

16. Says nobody but them.

And maybe Fux News.

17. He has about a 100% chance of winning Illinois

let them have their fun.
