Do You Think The "MSM" Will Continue To Support Obama Like They Are Now, |
|
if he is the eventual nominee? They'll turn on him faster than shit runs up/and down Tweety's leg.

The MSM hasn't even mentioned once that Obama was, for over a decade, a prof of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law school.
Not even once.

5. was he a Professor or a visiting Lecturer? |
|
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 01:48 PM by ccpup
I've heard both.
edited to add that he was never a Full Professor but instead a Senior Lecturer. There was also a bit of confusion from fellow Senior Lecturers and Professors as to why he never wrote anything on Constitutional Law or was Published, as is the case usually for people in that line of work. Many interviewed found that "odd".
Just fyi.

11. answered the question above |
|
he was officially a Senior Lecturer and, unusually, never wrote anything or was published, as is the case usually with people in that line of work.

2. they're supporting Clinton by padding her numbers with superdelegates. Have from the starte |
|
Most, if not all, superdelegates WILL vote for the candidate w/majority of pledged delegates.
It is dishonest & misleading to report superdelegate support this early. Especially since MOST superdelegates haven't indicated any preference.

8. and be left out in the cold ... unimportant and ignored? |
|
NEVER! :evilgrin:
They're standing with shovels in hand waiting anxiously to start filling in Hillary's Political Grave and then, once Obama gets the nod, they'll suddenly "discover" unfortunate information from his past or career or whatever that puts doubt in people's minds about his ability to effectively lead ... which will leave us with the media's first choice, Pres McCain.

13. it's just so damn predictable for the Media to support |
|
what is, in essence, the "weaker" candidate, give that person a relatively "easy ride" -- as compared to the daily drubbing Hillary gets -- and then, once they've moved the public over to believing that Candidate is better than sliced bread and the decision is made for them to be the Nominee, effortlessly knock the Candidate down with information they've been sitting on for a whole year and watch their preferred choice John McCain waltz to the podium on Inauguration Day.
With Hillary as the Nominee, that tactic is a little less effective because she knows the game, doesn't buy her own hype and can see the media created B.S. coming from a mile away. Can Barack? I don't know. He seems to be grooving on the adulation and easy ride he's been getting making him, effectively, a sitting duck. There's no Story with a Successful Front Runner. The story is in the Fall of the Front Runner. And we saw the genesis of it with ABC's "cocky" remark.
(sigh) Poor guy.

12. No. But I do expect more Americans realize the corpmedia helped protect Bush |
|
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 01:51 PM by blm
for too long.
Katrina DID matter. And lies on Iraq HAVE finally caught up to Bush, even with the corpmedia STILL protecting him for the most part.
And left media is a bit stronger now than it was in 2000 and 2004 when it was pretty much nonexistent.

14. Absolutely. I think all that's holding them back so far is their hatred |
|
of Clinton and the opportunity they have of slinging poo at her right now.

The "Media" will join the Republican smear machine right when you most expect it.
