Chuck, so what you're saying is that you don't believe there has been any media bias towards BO at all, and that any one believes otherwise is a conspiracy nut?



No, I'm saying I can post a funny picture to react to the two paragraphs above my post:

Quote:

It's like when they tried to accuse the Clinton's of murder not once but twice. They know that 10-20% of the far right wing will believe everything they say.

Or on the other side, which accused Bush of planning or ignoring the warning signs of 9/11 so he could start invading oil rich countries. Of course it's not true, but 10-20% of the far left will believe it because they hated Bush.



To all of you who claim media bias towards Obama, where were you when the media and the Congress gave the Bushies free reign to wipe their asses with the Constitution after 9/11? As a civil libertarian, I was outraged.

Where was the outrage when we invaded a sovereign nation that posed no threat to us, killed the Head of State's two sons, and put the dead bodies on display in the media for all to see, against all traditions of warfare?

How responsible was the media in informing the public, when such a large percentage of people thought Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9-11 attacks?

*******

Let's face it, "news" has become business, and the business does better when it entertains. How does Limbaugh do so well? He is obviously biased. So are Olberman, Maddow, etc. This is the new media, striving for ratings by catering to their audience. This is the new politics, very partisan. Obama wants to change that, well, I wish him well, but it will be an uphill fight.

Remember some of the things McCain had to put up with from his crowds on the campaign trail? To his credit, he told one woman that Obama was not a Muslum, etc. Well, I think Fox News, etc. had a bias against Obama, and MSNBC had a bias towards him. Duh.

That's all fine and well, as far as I am concerned. But when untruths that are from far left field begin to be believed by double digit percentages of the country, the media has failed in their responsibility. And when people in power blatantly abuse that power, break laws, and nothing is said, the media has failed in their responsibility.

Many journalists now admit they were asleep at the switch before the Iraq invasion. Were they also asleep when the seeds of this financial crisis were being sown? Interesting dig, for someone more talented and connected than me.

I did think it was a funny picture. Here's another.
