Today's Headlines - Wright not anywhere in them

[ericgtr]

I understand that there are some concerns about MSNBC on tv covering Pastor Wright but if there were really anything new that had any traction it would be all over the place. As you can see here, it's clearly not.

1. MSNBC's website seems to be different from their on air coverage

On their TV channel they are bashing Obama over another speech Wright made almost every half hour.

Obama gave his economic speech in NYC, MSNBC cut away before he was finished not to talk with economics experts about the ideas Obama presented over the 30+ minutes of his speech they just showed, no they started straight in on Wright without even taking a commercial break.

3. Yep. In fact. They're bashing Obama right now.

Again.

7. No - their website is using subtle racism to do the same thing.

They stick a picture of 2 Chicago (guess who is from there?) black teens next to a headline "City stunned by rising tide of teen murders". Black = Crime and of course Chicago = Obama.

Black-bashing. An old and long-used trick.

2. They are in full Fox mode over this. A quick blurb about a dead American in the Green Zone, back to

Wright immediately.

5. Wow, looks like *snipergate* is done.

6. wow.

"Periodically, over the last couple of weeks, you will see a news story or get something from the campaign, and you'll go, 'How stupid do you think I am?" one uncommitted superdelegate said. "All of us watch television all the time, read the newspapers. We all play with the little charts online too. We know it is virtually impossible."

One delegate said the Clinton campaign is "using Jeremiah Wright to scare white people."

"A full and fair debate about issues and differences and even fights is good," the delegate said. "Mud slinging, personal attacks and lying is never good for any political fight or party. And I see a lot of that coming from one side more than the other."

The delegates said there is little the party or its leaders can do to prevent the current back and forth. But some said they were increasingly in touch with Clinton campaign officials to say their support is in jeopardy.

If that message isn't received loud and clear by the Clinton camp, there's no hope for them. They couldn't say it any plainer.

9. He's spot on in his analysis. The Dems have let us down time and time again.

[The Night Owl]

10. Mr. Wright bashed our ideology, not our politicians. Nice try, apologist. {EOM}

[MadBadger]

11. Our ideology is represented by our politicians: The Liberal Agenda vs. Conservative Agenda.

[Justitia]

12. Oh brother. The race-baiters are increasingly desperate. -eom
