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.



After 9/11 I stood with the majority of Democrats in Congress and supported Bush. Yeah ram-rodding important pieces of legislation through Congress, before anyone has a chance to ferret out all the repercussions is so irresponsible (*cough stimulus bill cough-cough omnibus spending bill cough*).

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?



I have no idea why the media decided to show the bodies. My thought at seeing them was one of relief, because I knew they would never torture or murder anyone else in their personal prison again. It always fascinates me how some people can excuse wrongs committed by such horrendous human beings, just to further their own political belief system.

The media was under the same delusions the rest of the public was. All the intelligence said that he was indeed attempting to build weapons of mass destruction.

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.



Are you actually comparing the news or even Wikipedia to someone like Rush Limbaugh? Limbaugh is completely biased, hell he’ll even tell you he is. His show is simply entertainment for conservatives just as NPR is entertainment for liberals. That doesn’t mean wikipedia should pick a side and join in as well.

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.



Problem is it wasn’t just MSNBC with the bias. It was seemingly everyone but Fox. Although even that doesn’t explain why a site that touts itself as an encyclopedia, would take sides.

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.



Where were you when the Bush haters were pushing their 9/11 conspiracy theories on the media? Or were you one of the tin foil hat wearers on this one?

Quote:


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.



The same journalists will say the same thing when the world finally turns against BO. It has already begun in Europe over the recession, but that doesn’t keep the same thing from happening all over again in four years.

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



Tell me Chuck were you one of the 51% of Democrats hoping Bush would fail when America was loosing so many young people in Iraq back in 2006?

Tell me Tenley why is there no mention of William Ayers on BO’s wiki page? There is definite confirmation that they knew one another, even served together on projects, yet nothing. Go to the Bush, McCain, or even the Palin’s page and you will see every negative looking thing said about them during the campaign listed, but BO’s is clean, Why?
