Anyone notice how long MSNBC stayed on the monotone John McBush...
And only did a couple of snippets of Obama.. Oh, yes, the General Election has begun, My Friends (borrowed words that I really mean)... Like I said, its us against them... We must push ourselves onto the MSM and make them cover this election fair and impartial.. because we know they did not during the primaries.

Yes We Can destroy the crappy biased media... Who's with me?

1. The media is trying to create a narrative for the GE that
is fraught with the tension that existed in the last two cliffhanger elections. It is good for ratings and advertising. They will try to pump McCain up. Obama needs to get out there and provide the lead story. Right now McCain is going around making demands and throwing boring hissyfits to get attention.

5. I bet the journalists are falling asleep.. Funny that little Contessa had to
keep jumping in and updating McCain's message.. because they knew they were losing their audience.

3. the more they show McCain, the more they help us
The longer one hears him talk at a time, the more stupidity he reveals. He can sound OK in a sound bite, but if you listen to him talk for even two minutes, you'll hear him stumbling through, botching things. He's sooooo boring.

7. Yeah that guy is like Medussa and should come with a warning label
"May cause drowsiness, insanity, and a sudden intense desire to rip your own ears off."

6. The LAST thing they want is an Obama victory as a forgone conclusion in August...
...they've known since McCain got the nomination that they would have to prop him up, no matter who he was going to run against.

8. Bet more people turned them off

I was on a phone call and could not reach over to turn that crap off.

I hope they play him 24 hours a day ~ he will be at a minus for votes.

Boring ``````````

11. M$M will be giving him lots of free air time until November.
Both Meet the Press and Face the Nation had him on the Sunday right before the New Hampshire primary. They knew he didn't have the money to run ads so they "donated" airtime.

12. I said months ago that they were lifting up Obama.....
criticizing Clinton.....and ignoring McCain. Now they will begin to smear Obama and lift up McCain. The corporate media is going to do whatever it takes to make sure a Republican gets into office. No surprise there for me.
