Is the MSM racist?

[cilla4progress]

It occurs to me ... in addition to many Republican voters and political leaders -- and tea partiers -- who we now understand are racist, is it possible the owners of the mainstream press are? Why else is the Obama administration having so much difficulty getting out their message? It is all about the money, in the end. And the people with wealth are definitely invested in having Obama fail.

1. they are against all liberals and Dems, but there criticism of Obama does have Racism in it

especially when it comes to attacks on his wife. the whole attacks over going to spain were similar to their "welfare queen" attacks.

2. No more than its audience.

It's racist, because that's what its audience wants.

3. MSM is profit driven and so Viewers matter, and so Created Controversy is King

A bunch of things.

1. MSM is corporate owned which means they by default prefer Republicans since republicans help their bottom-line
2. Democrats are not fighters -- Republicans push a meme, the MSM picks it up, the democrats run in fear
3. Controversial subjects draw ratings...and lets be honest Obama being black helps open up a variety of new memes for the ratings (e.g. he's "Muslin", etc)
4. Because of repeated bashing by Republicans the MSM are so afraid to be considered as "Liberal biased" and so they are more inclined to be harder on deomcrats than republicans.
5. Fox News sets the entire MSM talking points. Whatever they push long enough the rest of the media will eventually pick up and consider that the new news of the day. And we all know and now have undeniable proof that Fox News is exclusively a republican voice box.
6. Obama is a weakling -- the MSM knows this and enjoy bashing him since they know Obama will not push back.

5. Fox maybe, but the rest are just trivial, lazy, stupid, and have the attention

span of a knat.

7. Some, of course. Just like some on the left

Why do you think Obama needs to be 10 times better than any other president?

[cilla4progress]

8. Exactly.

10. As a whole they just exploit racism for ratings KNOWING it hurts minorities in America
