BEWARE THE MEDIA!! They are already pounding wedges!
Every celebration they are showing is a BLACK celebration. Every admonition to move to the Center is endlessly repeated in Stentorian tones.

The only European reaction they've shown is the scary news & announcements from Russia. The only international celebrations are from Africa and Indonesia.

THEY ARE AT IT ALREADY!!

1. I would expect no less from them. They are part of the problem and will
continue to be. We have to create (and are) alternative means of delivering information. The internet offers this opportunity in a big way.

3. Absolutely. Me and my daughter noticed this last night.
All of a sudden, they were showing masses of african-americans just like they did with the OJ verdict.

Rubbing it in. Now mind you, they will claim they are doing it because of the "historic" nature of this event, but what they are trying to do is show people gloating and making other people mad.

4. No surprise. There're still the same people as yesterday.
It will take a while for Obama to bring about change. I hope he starts by bringing back the Fairness Doctrine. Faux, Rush etc. all fear this.

8. We knew this would be the case
They will rev up the attack machine they used against Clinton while he was in office. The 2012 election has already started for the neocons.

15. It's time to rewrite the lexicon.... Repugs lost because they veered
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 10:58 AM by annabanana
radically right into fundy/reactionary/bigot-world.

If they want to have any more influence, they will have to return to the Ideals of the Enlightenment that gave Birth to our Nation.

They will have to recognize the concept of the "common good", and "public property".

And we can help them come to that necessary realization.

23. exactly we should not only focus on bushie boy, the media
should not get off too easily either, no matter what they say and how off it is we need to strike back we are not taking their BS no more. E-mail them or just shut off the TV, e-mailing is better.

Good journalism is no longer.

16. Yo brotha, we all black now cause we did vote Obama,
my birthplace is now Harlem instead of Jacksonville.
I think I'll go play basketball, which I'll now be good at,
then dance to some hip hop. Must be that black power thing.

18. photo from France, two guys just happen to be black? ...
first picture shown from http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1856660,00.html

I don't like this ugly insinuation that simply because I'm white, that I'm probably a McCain supporter. I should be judged on the content of my character, not my skin color. I'm offended.

19. They are already blaming stocks falling on Obama, and he's
not even President yet!

Stocks fall as investors ponder Obama presidency
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081105/ap_on_bi_st_ma_re/wall_street

See, these guys have special powers; they read the minds of investors
and saw that they are worried about Obama the socialist.
It couldn't have anything to do with, say, the current sad state
of our economy or anything like that. Oh no.

Besides that, there is a saying: "buy on the rumor, sell on the news"
(referring to good news).

22. That's rubbish. Those right-wing greedheads always pull that stunt.
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 04:14 PM by KCabotDullesMarxIII
But the fact of the matter is that in the UK and the US, stocks do much better under left-leaning parties.

I suppose because the companies are not plundered so heartily. Also political and economic competence obviously pay dividends, also in the metaphorical sense, and create synergies. The UK has suffered from this economic crisis more than all but two of the poorest Eastern European countries, as a direct result of NuLab(c)'s crooked, half-witted infatuation with economic neoliberalism.

27. Not much more, I hope. Sorting out the media's bias should be one of the
Democrats' first priorities, shouldn't it?

26. They aren't fooling anyone... 61% of his votes were from whites...
We know who we are and how we voted... they are preaching to their Pubbie base... still.
