The media has OVERPLAYED this Reverend Wright issue

[bigdarryl]

its over kill as the media always does.

[MadBadger]

1. I cant believe after the entire Hardball College Tour Apperance, they decided to focus on this

on Race for the WH. They are soo disgusting.

[GarbagemanLB]

3. Good to get this shit out now instead of a month out from the general. Also, Obama is hitting Wright

questions OUT OF THE PARK. Today on Hardball plus on The View, he has great answers.

[niceypoo]

33. I agree, this will be a dead issue come summer...

as long as Obama supporters stop bringing it up. 90% of the Wright threads anymore are started by Obama supporters.

[Window]

25. I had to turn their asses off AGAIN.

[TeamJordan23]

2. yep, MSNBC is doing it again right now. Why dont they ever discuss McCain calling asians 'Gooks'? nm

[EffieBlack]

9. I loved the "I've heard YOU say controversial things!" n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

32. I know!

Unfortunately, Obama can't even bring up the gross comments that disgusting perv Tweety has made. :puke:

Him and O'Reilly are two guys I wouldn't advise any woman to work for.

[anonymous171]

4. Well, the Clinton campaign says that the Wright Channel is the most unbiased news source.

[orpupilofnature57]

5. MSM Elected Shrub President .

[bigdarryl]

6. FOX NEWS is the WORST they keep harping on this every night

[azmouse]

7. And the media never mentions the nutcases that support McSame.

Completely unfair.

[joshcryer]

8. Bosnia, too.

Oh and when Rezko drops they'll over play that, too.

CryGate, RaceGate, LoseGate, WinGate, the media is sensationalist and full of shit.

And people here soak it up.

[bigwillq]

10. The media overplays everything

so does GDP

[DearAbby]

11. It's an inoculation

it's good now, because by the time the election comes around, the inoculation will have worked. It will be viewed as old news, and those continuing to use it will experience blowback from it.

[aquarius dawning]

12. Frankly, I think it deserves more attention.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. No, that would take away from Gary Condit coverage.

Gary Condit is an issue of national importance. The media needs to cover that more.

That, and sharks.

[aquarius dawning]

19. Gary Condit? Never heard of him.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. My point exactly.

You need to know.

[aquarius dawning]

21. I know.

[Justitia]

34. LOL - you are soooo good at this, I love your posts. -eom

[MadBadger]

15. Of Course You Do.

[RBInMaine]

13. Yes, the corporate right-leaning media has done so, and used SOUNDBITE BIAS to do so.

They CREATED more news than was actually there in an effort to tear down Obama in favor of Hillary.
It was extremely biased reporting made up of unfair soundbites. I'm certainly not endorsing nor condoning some of Wright's views and opinions nor some of his harsh language, but I AM saying that some statements were taken entirely out of context and the man's WHOLE life and story by no means has received fair and full treatment.

[depakid]

16. You ain't seen nothin' yet

They have hardly begun....

[democrattotheend]

17. I still haven't forgiven them for the way they brought down Dean

by playing that so-called "scream" over and over and over and misconstruing it. They later apologized for it, but yet they seem intent on doing the same thing again. Except these clips are not even of Obama saying anything stupid...they are of his pastor, with the implication that he is responsible for everything Reverend Wright says and does.

[FrenchieCat]

18. Just write them a letter saying that they are Pastorbating again.....

I turned my TeeVee off after the College Hardball tour interview, as I know the pundits following would be holding towels and pastorbating, again.

[jenmito]

22. I did:

"I find it nauseating that after Obama's full hour on Hardball you spent TEN minutes on the subject of Rev. Wright. Why do you insist on spending the majority of your coverage of Obama on that instead of the topics that actually affect the lives of the people in the audience?"

[azmouse]

26. Who is Tony Blankley and why is he so frigging annoying?

I don't often watch these shows. His name sounds familiar but I can't place it.

[jenmito]

29. He's a big-time RWer. He's on The McLaughlin Group a lot.

[azmouse]

30. Thanks for the info.

:)

[Justitia]

38. Former Reagan speechwriter from the Moonie Times. He also plays Jabba the Hut in Star Wars.

[Arugula Latte]

39. I think he was somehow connected with Newt Gingrich.

Maybe they had a torrid affair, or something. It slips my mind.

[Window]

23. 'Cause they got NOTHING ELSE.

[Buzz Clik]

24. I felt it was overplayed about two days in.

[stellanoir]

27. Yeah but did you know Anna Nicole Smith died. . .?

[dogday]

28. This is nothing compared to the shit-storm they will

throw at our candidate come election time... Remember 2004 swift-boating of John Kerry played day and night 24 7 for weeks... They gave that ad so much free airtime....

[Autumn]

31. The media is just starting

and it will continue. They do it to anyone who's is not a republican.

[crankychatter]

35. Ya think?

Clinton and the Corporate Media can hype it till the cows come home.

In the General Election, McCain will keep his effing mouth shut with good cause.

People living in glass houses don't throw stones.

Seriously...

[Hieronymus]

36. It's all they've got and it's not working.

[AlinPA]

37. Even the local TV station (Ch4) in Pittsburgh had a reporter jump on Michelle

Obama today about the former pastor (Sally Wiggin). They can't let up; they don't know much about him except that because of the constant media blitz. The slobbering idiot Matthews brought it up to Obama today, after having covered it non stop on his past shows.
