A Perennial Press Opera

If Hillary Clinton does not receive the Democratic nomination, the media definitely has to take the responsibility for its negative coverage of her. The coverage of Senator Clinton has been negative, and definitely influnences the way some people will vote. Let the process go forward, with an unbiased report on both of the Democratic candidates. I have never seen so many man-crushes on Obama by members of the press.

The fact that the breathtakingly corrupt Clinton Machine doesn't like some of the what the media says about it is so laughable as to be almost incomprehensible. For every morsel of allegedly "tough" treatment of Hillary there are 500 fawning, conveniently-forget-the-bad-stuff, could-have-been-written-by-her-PR-flunkies stories to cushion the fall. Republicans and Independents (capital "I," thank you) have faced roughly the opposite positive-vs.-negative ratio for 50 years. If the Clintons don't like what the media does they wouldn't last a day or an hour as a Republican or Independent. And if they and their political assasins/stormtroopers succeed in stealing this nomination, I--someone who is champing at the bit to vote for Obama--will join the vast overriding majority of Americans in voting for John McCain for president.

For many years now I have been concerned with the news media not accepting the responsibility to be fair arbitrators of information. Ratings and entertainment are more important than educating the electorate. I now feel manipulated so the press can have a horse race. Any objective analysis of political news coverage will show the so called "free press" is stumping for Obama. Pay particular attention to the graphics during election coverage emphasizing Obama wins. The legitimate issue of qualification and competence to be POTUS is being ignored and discouraged. Chris Matthews (Feb.9) had a guest, who happens to be black, say he questions Obama as a "viable and serious" candidate; they could not get his face off the screen fast enough, the same for the other guy who try to say it was silly to believe polls today can tell what will happen in November. My question is do you think this will continue through November? Will the news machine try to salvage credibility?
I think once Hillary is disposed of the issue of qualification, competence and experience will result in another republican victory. Many democrats do not have the excuse of youth in believing polls suggesting Obama has the better chance. We should all know the most pressing concern come November will be who is best qualified to be commander in chief and McCain is already staking claim to that moniker.

Okay, now that the media has defeated Hillary and have their candidate in Obama - can you guys do your job and start reporting. I do want to know the details on how he is going to get us out of Iraq. What kind of situation will be in Iraq and its vicinity once the US under Obama leaves the neighborhood? Will the aftermath be similar to what happened in South Asia after the British left? What about Africa? One of the beef against Bill Clinton by black commentators and talk show hosts is that he did not do much for Rwanda. What is Obama going to do for the troubled African countries? (Would Obama do more than Bill Clinton did in Rwanda for the African nations because of his African heritage?) Is he going to send the troops into Kenya? His resume is as light as Bush's when he took office and you never questioned Bush (because Bush was the presses candidate too) and now you have Obama - we need to know...

I want a win in November and I want health care - Obama will deliver neither!
I think republicans are salivating at the prospect of Obama over Clinton, but are holding their cards close to the vest. Bashing Hillary serves two purposes: weakening her and diverting attention from the issue of Barak???s lack of experience and gravitas that McCain will exploit. I laugh at republicans on TV saying they will be energized against Hillary, as if we have not seen over a year apathy and dejection over the prospect. I visualize McCain holding his breath, fearing people will catch on that Obama is his best hope of winning. But, of course now is not the optimal time to reveal just how Barak will be diminished and made to look less than presidential. McCain would love democrats to get rid of the strongest candidate! Without Clinton universal health care as an issue will be minimal, she trounces McCain on economic issues and Hillary will not be tagged as weak and naive on international affairs and terrorism.
If health care is not mandated the legislation will fail. Republicans will argue a cost cutting alternative knowing partisan politics and compromise will gut any plan once the principle of universality is relinquished. They might just ignore the issue. Clinton is the only one who can drive it through.
Who is going to be swayed across party lines if UHC looks DOA, Obama is challenged on the economy and McCain takes the commander in chief mantle. Sen. Clinton is ready to take on McCain, no one can doubt that. We could have had Al Gore if competency was not under-valued, let???s not make that mistake again.

This is yet another article in which the "Obama loving press" tries to explain why they aren't doing thier jobs and being objective. Journalists are supposed to be professionals, sadly those days appear over. All you hav to do is look at "hacks" like Howard Fineman, Johnathon Alter, Jon Meachum, Evan Thomas, Chuck Todd, Matthews, Olbermann and the rest of the pathetic Newsweek/NBC alliance and realize that these are not journalists...they are political opportunists who think they can "Tell" America who to vote for.

Doesn't work that way fellas. We will continue to vote for Hillary, and when she wins the nomnation, Newsweek/MSNBC will be left lokking weak and irrevlevant:)

** Man files Federal Lawsuit against Obama regarding GAY sexual act and drug use claims **

A man named Larry Sinclair posted a video to YouTube claiming to have used cocaine and engaged in a gay sexual act with Obama when Obama was a state legislator in 1999.

In the video, Sinclair claims he and Obama met on two separate occasions, that Obama used crack cocaine and that Sinclair performed an oral sexual act on Obama both evenings.

Now Obama and company are quickly trying to quiet this man, but Sinclair has filed a federal lawsuit. Sinclair filed suit against Obama and his campaign guru David Axelrod and DNC chair Howard Dean in Minnesota district court for allegedly attempting to abridge Sinclair's right to free speech, and for waging an intimidation campaign against him.

America wants to know: where's the media coverage on this???? We deserve to hear the truth!

Worldnetdaily.com has an article about a guy named Larry Sinclair who claims he had sex with Obama, when he was a state Senator, back in 1999. He has posted a video on youtube. Today he has filed a lawsuit against Obama, his campaign manager, DNC Chair Howard Dean, alleging these individuals has tried to quiet him.

Hillary always passes the buck. When her machinations in the White House failed, she blamed it on imaginary "vast right-wing conspiracy". When her campaign failed she blamed it on the manager. When Obama gets more votes, she blames it on the Press. It is never her fault. Wake up, Hillary, the buck stops at your feet.

It is painfully obvious that Hillary is always at a disadvantage in the media. If Obama wins it will be evidence that it is the media who decides the elections. They are not passing the buck if anything acting with class in face of blantant unfair spin. She is not blaming it on the press but should. I am sick of the scandalous media being a weapon in all political elections or witch hunts. Just give us facts not opinion.

If Obama hasn't been given a pass by the press, then where is the coverage of his open support of Donnie McClurkin (ex-gay, homophobe) on the Obama gospel tour? Where is the coverage of the sermons distributed by Rev. Dr. Jeremiah White, Jr. (anti-Semite, homophobe, Xenophobe), the one person who Obama describes as his 'spiritual mentor / surrogate father? Where is the coverage of Obama's race baiting to Latinos in LA,



where he claimed that there was a big Irish/Polish illegal immigration problem, but that only those who '
look different (people of color) were seen as a problem? He later revised his remarks to appear as though he meant that all groups were discriminated against, but the original transcript is still on ABSNews.com. This represents race / ethnic baiting of the most egregious kind. When Bill and Hillary Clinton made factual statements about MLK and Lyndon Johnson, the press had no problem running with the Obama talking-point, that this was racially offensive. It was the truth! If America cannot have an open conversation about race, then maybe we need to revisit the question of whether or not the country is ready for a black president. This is a FORMER PRESIDENT who was often called the 'first black president' , being attacked for being factual!

What is there about Obama to be enamored of?
Americans know how biased the press can be. Obama uses words because he has no previous actions to talk about. If the american people don't stop letting the press crown undeserving, inexperienced candidates then they deserve the consequences that will come. We have to have a president that has the knowledge, experience and connections to guide us out of this economic storm. Hillary is the only smart choice.

I think it is absurd how the press is intimidated by the Clinton machine. Only one slightly negative comment about Chelsea Clinton (made by David Shuster) put Shuster's entire job and future in jeopardy. Such is the power that we allow the Clintons to wield.....

Americans must stop listening to the press and their OCD behavior with regard to Obama. The Clinton administration created 21 million jobs, balanced the budget with a sizeable surplus and weathered a press storm at the same time. Think!! What has Obama done to gain the reins of the american people. No, not what he promises! What has he done! Nothing! Americans must realize that he is backed by some very powerful people who have an agenda or many agendas. One of them is Ted Kennedy who came right out and said, I will finally see projects that I've worked on for 30 years get legislated! Hillary is the only smart choice for america. I hope people are wise enough not to buy into the media frenzi and vote for experience.

I do believe the press is obsessed with Obama. It looks to me like Obama rides the same tide of wink wink, nod nod campaigning that "W" rode to the White House. How unfortunate. The shiny object always gets more attention then form. I actually have heard a broadcast, at length, discussion about the Obama's holding hands. Huh??

While Mr. Thomas may be accurate about this history of presidential campaigns, Barack Obama is given an incredible pass by the media. Indeed, they seem to be pushing him over Hillary - constantly berating her while praising him at every turn. It has mystified me. It has gotten so bad, that I won't even watch Tim Russert, Chris Matthews and barely Keith Olberman - who I always felt was a fair news reporter.

I used to enjoy the news: CNN, MSNBC, ABC. I simply cannot even tune in any longer. The obsession with Obama is so overdone that itliterally becomes grotesque at times. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I truly do believe that there is an attempt by the media to get him the nomination because he is the most beatable by the Republicans. I think we are going to see the media's attitude toward this "darling" to change dramatically and gradually if he gets nominated. His questionable ties, his dirty laundry is going to come out. If Clinton loses, it will absolutely be because of the media. But that's no surprise; it is the media who sold the Iraq war to the American people too.

Has anyone considered the prospect that republicansmight be aiding the Obama surge? McCain has a much better chance up against Obama than he does against Hillary.
