All things considered, the media wanted Obama to win the Democratic nomination

[hannybal]

If the media had wanted Hillary to be the nominee, they would have started the attacks on Obama much earlier, when it counted.

There are two things that most of us probably agree on:

The media was favorable to Hillary until she won PA. Then things got even, then a 1 week ago, the media turned against Obama.

You might remember that Peggy Noonan, Maureen Dowd, the Weekly Standard, David Brooks, William Kristol, Bob Novak, etc., did not begin attacking Obama until Hillary was buried so deep that nothing in this world could revive her. Let's be honest. There is no 1000 hour marathon on Wright that will erase Obama's delegate lead at this moment.

These wingnuts pretended they loved Obama for months. Now they are showing their true colors. At first some here thought that Obama was such a uniter that he charmed even the most radical conservative into submission. The truth was that these are elitist members of the plutocratic media who will always do whatever it takes to put their Republican favorite in the White House.

In short, I do not agree that these media types are trying to give Hillary the nomination. That is impossible. They are just starting the hit parade against Obama as early as possible, as they know that he, as the Wall Street Journal recently noted, already have a nominee, and his name is Barack Obama, who needs to be roughened up to clear the way for McCain.

1. So he has 2025 delegates? Did I miss a primary today?

2. Yep. The MSM is on the republicans' side and that side only.

3. Basically, all the media wants is ratings.

Of course, in the end, they'll want the Republican in there, because the owners profit most with them in charge. But in the meantime it's gonna be just gameplay to get the most viewers.

4. How did the MSM get Wright to say all that crazy stuff this weekend?

5. Why do they need to play it on a loop over and over again when

more important things are happening?

6. I'm not so sure...

He's had some pretty harsh criticisms for the media lately, coinciding with his awful coverage.

Coincidence? Probably not.

The media was excited about him in the beginning, but now I think they've concluded that Hillary's confrontational personality might bring them bigger $ the next 4 years.

8. A week ago my ass!

Try like since before Iowa.....to New Hampshire....to Nevada.....and then on to Texas and Ohio....and then PA....why don't you?

And no, the media doesn't want Obama to win......that's just your way of rationalizing what is happening in your mind. They just didn't think it would get this far....and now that it's too late, they are going full monty. They thought Wright would do the "trick" the first time, but they got hosed.
