WHY is Obama's major speech not airing on CNN or MSNBC?

[Thrill]

But they carry every fucking Palin rally??

[iceman66]

1. Damn liberal media!

[glowing]

2. It was on already.. around 1:30 and it rocked.

[dbonds]

3. I just saw a good portion of it on MSNBC.

I had to leave, but at least 20 minutes of it.

4. LOL...you guys dont get it

Carrying every Palin rally IS GOOD FOR US. Although iget your point, Obama needs to be covered.

[Mike Daniels]

10. I don't see continued coverage of Palin's idiocy as doing her or McCain any favors

In fact, it only continues to hurt them as people see the direct contrast between their campaign stops and those of Obama/Biden.

12. I agree.

I think the more people hear her, at least the ones with an ounce of brains, the more they decide on Obama! Palin is only good at dirty politics, but that's not what the people want, and she is making their ticket look really bad!

[Jane Austin]

11. I saw it from near the beginning to the very end.

Don't remember if it was MSNBC or CNN, but I had been flipping back and forth between the two.

5. You missed it. MSNBC did have it

CSPAN ran it too.

[TheDonkey]

21. I hope this is true. I saw disgusting McTroll and Haterina on MSNBC this morning

they had better be giving fair time to Obama and Biden.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. Well, look at it this way

When Obama wins, they will HAVE to cover his Victory Speech (along with McCain's concession speech) and Inaugural Address!!!!

[gateley]

7. i think it's over. Biden is speaking now, but they're only covering Palin.

They did cover Obama's earlier speech - and McCain's.

[blogslut]

8. I saw it

From to start to finish - on MSNBC. It was a great speech. :)

[MadMaddie]

9. Yea I turned the tube off!

I am pretty pissed and they even were playing the Rocky Theme as McCain/Palin walked in....blech...

[cui bono]

16. They'll get a complaint from the composer in a few minutes.

:rofl:

[Loge23]

13. CNN is so over

Their front page this afternoon (CNN.com) has no mention of Obama's speech in the top story list.
Instead, there is a picture of McCain waving with a story about his latest campaign strategy (keep fighting).
Also in the top stories links - a Republican hack job on how Obama agrees with Bush in 20 different ways.

Are they being brought by Murdoch??

[fugop]

18. Big pic up now

I just went to the cnn homepage and they have a big Obama pic up now with a headline reading, "Obama details his 'economic rescue plan.'"

[Drunken Irishman]

14. It was.

15. Have I not posted the media consolidation info enough?

5 media conglomerates. Republican owned. That's it. Bias on parade.

17. Thanks for that info.

:thumbsup:

20. You're welcome. Glad to see others noting that the speech actually did run.

But on all media (including Now Pro Republican - NPR) they are much more generous with the McSame campaign clips. McSame and Failin get far more clips on the news.

The bias is quite clear. Even if they do run the major Democratic stuff, it is much harder for the liberal point of view to get coverage on TV.

[MadMaddie]

23. Perhaps they see the end for their conglomerate Media whores

I see breaking up these mass media companies to allow for legitimate competition. That is what Murdoch and the rest of the owners are afraid of.

19. because they are SCARED. it's really simple. And folks need to CONTACT them

[MadBadger]

22. Or how bout because they showed it and the OP was just late getting there.
