How the media is killing Obama

[ericgtr]

Take a look at the home page of MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ It's all about headlines and Hillary is getting a free ride, the press is catering to her every whim now.

"What women want"

Newsweek: Behind Hillary Rodham Clinton's extraordinary appeal to female baby boomers.

and under they have this:

Obama had star power, but minor role in Senate

[flor de jasmim]

1. Yes, also note "extraordinary" to describe Hillary, and...

the fact that Obama won Wyoming is in print that is even smaller than his "minor role".

[Mooney]

2. This is going to happen, especially in a long race

Hopefully Obama is a strong enough candidate to be able to ride it out.

6. He'll handle it, and handle it well.

[Mooney]

8. I certainly think so.

I think he knows what he's doing, and I think he's keeping his eye on the ball.

[Yael]

3. Yup

4. The media love affair of Clinton

Despite the fact that Obama:

Has won MORE STATES
Has won the POPULAR VOTE
Has won MORE DELEGATES

Wonder how much they were paid. :eyes:

5. MSNBC: "Obama Must Win PA to RECLAIM His Status as Frontrunner."

No shit. First thing I heard when I turned the TV on this morning. Then I heard Scum Rendell on MTP and turned it off.

[Mooney]

9. He never lost his status as the frontrunner.

At best, HRC is now seen as tied with him. She has never been the frontrunner in this race since the actual voting started.

7. and their other family member SNL is "Deaning" him weekly

Too bad the strike didn't last longer..

If they skewer pols, I usually don;t mind it, but it's often done AFTER they are in an elected office.. What they are doing is affecting elections..that's different..

They went after Ford WHEN he was pres
same for Carter and Reagan & Bush & Clinton & Bush

I have watched that show since the first one, and I honestly cannot remember a time when they went after candidates during their campaigns..other than to parody a debate once in a while..

The show is not even all that popular, but of course their snippets are then shown over and over and over and over for a week afterward..on all the screaming head shows and then there is you tube..

This is a different world we live in, and they are tampering with the election process..in cahoots with Rush & the GOP by trying to select our candidate..

10. SNL always did candidates -- remember Jon Lovitz as Dukakis?

"Points of light...Stay the Course...mumble"
"I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"

11. The media always likes to get involved

and throw things out there and see if it sticks.
