I did notice one thing today. It seems like the MSM is in love with McCain again. They loved his concession speech last night. I hope McCain doesn't start shmoozing with them again and learns some life lessons from the way they have savaged him the last six months. I suspect he won't learn any lessons at all. He should just retire and Arizona should elect some real conservative while they are still a red state.
What in the name of God are you talking about? When did anybody in the MSM ever ask McCain about the multitude of transgressions he's committed against his constituents, much less "savage" him? This is going beyond lunacy. I challenge you to point to the savagery you're mentioning (purposefully fabricating).
I already know from a earlier post that you think the MSM has been in the tank for McCain. I am sorry, no view could possible be more sillier than that. Everybody knows, even 81% of the American people know (in one poll) that the the MSM has been completely in the tank for Obama. I don't have the time today or the patience to defend a post that needs no defense. Get a clue, no offence intended.
In other words, you lied, and are unable to point to even ONE instance of the "savagery" they committed against McCain. I do not care about a poll. I care about words being pointers to truth.
i get what you're saying DWFan. its not like the media just came out and said, "f**k Mac we want OBAMA!!!" no they weren't that "savage"...but i wish they would have been. then McCain might have had a shot.
instead they did something way more nefarious and cunning. they used guile and deceit to convince the american public that the pro Obama bias wasn't there. people like Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Maher, Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, Bengala, the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times etc etc, did an amazing job as coming across as credible media. and americans simply ate it up. whats the old saying, "the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing man he didn't exist."
as far as examples, look at the article by a writer from the Washington Post (her name escapes me), where she compares the coverage her own newspaper gave to the candidates. she comes out and willingly points out a clear bias in her OWN newspaper! how of often does that happen in american press? she notes how much more articles Obama got than McCain and how much more positive coverage Obama got in those articles. a brave lady..i hope she has a good resume. she'll likely need it soon.
you can look at the Pewter report about the bias against McCain and for Obama. or the Fordham University study of the same nature. theres been a few man, from some pretty objective sources. look at how far off the NY times and the Washington Post were in their polling predictions. now you might say that there polls had no effect, but think of how many people picked up their papers and read those polls. how many of them said, "damn McCain is down by 11 points, he's got no chance!" clearly that has an effect on voter psyche. no one wants to vote for a certain loser. thats also a big reason why 3rd party candidates don't get the support they probably deserve. its a culmination of all this that made it very hard for McCain to build up any momentum with the undecided voters.
look at how much attention was given to his age, his battle with cancer, his temper yada yada yada. but notice how no one but Fox wanted to talk about ACORN, or Ayers. every time MSNBC talked about it, it was used ii a context of pointing out how "desperate" the republican side was.
McCain was a media "darling" in 2000, because he was a more "liberal" republican, and the media loved him for it..ask yourself why? but now its 2008 and americas got its first real potential pres candidate of african descent. LITERALLY african descet. so the MSM has a giant orgasm of course and they back their man all the way. and as soon as McCain got in the way of their manchurian candidate, their trojan horse, they decided that NOW McCain was no longer the "liberal" republican. in 2000 he was a washington "maverick". now all of a sudden, he's a washington "insider." in 2000, he was portrayed as a "war hero" BY the MSM. but not this year, this year he's a "career politician." in 2000, the MSM liked his "toughness," but this year all they could talk about was his "oldness". remember the post-debate attention given to McCain's "wandering around" the debate stage. man, if ever there was a way to imply a man was old and senile, without having to utter the words "old" and "senile", these MSM types really perfected it this year. bottom line, the MSM media saw the potential Obama had and made him their crowned prince, and after that happened, there was no chance for anybody to defeat him. not McCain, not Romney, not Huckabee, not even Chuck Norris. you could've have changed the lamb, but that wouldn't have stopped the slaughter.
for further proof, you can look at Hillary. she was the heir to the liberal throne. she was going to bring back the good ol'years of the Clinton administration, and at the same time make history as the first woman president. but alas, it wasn't meant to be. the MSM and the liberals that run it, are so enamored with all things black, that they went after their own queen mother. they criticized her every move and went over every quote with a fine tooth comb. looking for any chink in the armor to exploit. and the worst part is they DENIED doing so for monts! it took Tina f**king Fey to finally bring light to it. when a comedian becomes the voice for impartiality in election coverage, its time to take a second look at who's doing the covering and what their agendas are.
i could go of on Palin too but thats too easy...... the RNC spends 150 k for her wardrobe, and the MSM response is..,"thats elitist!!! and a huge waste of money especially in a period of economic hard times for the country!!!" but Obama gets almost 4 times the donation money (from sketchy "donors" mind you) that McCain does, he buys a half hour infomercial during the world series, he runs twice as many negative ads as McCain does, and he re**** on taking public financing for his campaign but whats the response???...nothing. no backlash, no investigation, no Woodward or Bernstein. nothing. if i learned anything this past year its that america's downfall will not come from abroad. there will be no great battle. no mighty foreign foe to defend our beaches from. that battle is past. it never came. the barbarians are not at our gates. they're already here. god give us strength.
as far as the Keating 5 scandal. if you don't think it was brought up you must have not watched MSNBC.
goodnight all.
