A Perennial Press Opera

The media is not only giving Obama a free ride, you are cheering for him and whipping up enthusiasm .... if you don't see it, you're not looking. The problem is not that the press is giving Clinton an especially bad time because it is your job to ask questions and analyze; the problem is you are not doing that to Obama. The country will suffer because of a lack of fairness in the media. AndreaNYC

regaurding the statement by seemaryc, you start off by saying your not going to cast a blind ballot with out hearing there stance on an issue but then you immidiately follow it with rehtoric about some crap about a moving co.the truth is any one who would put clinton(bill)in the same catagory as either bush partison in nature or politicaly ignorant clinton stoped the raid of social socurity imposed the first new campain laws since teddy rosevelt increased inhis first two yr border patrol(while bush decreased it in his 1st yr)ie man power.as well as created tax cuts for small buisness which any one who understands economics would know that is the true foundation of our economy.you may or may not want to vote for a clinton that is your choise as an american but please do not spread untruths about a cadidate. BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING MORE UNAMERICAN THAN AN UNFAIR FIGHT. SO LET THE FACTS,NOT THE RETORIC BE THE POINT THANK YOU .And please vote whom ever you see fit to run the country .

Please! it is true the media has given Mr Obama a free ride, just one example Keith O, of Countdown used to be in my opinion very neutral between Hillary and others, but I guess he got on the "hope" wagon and gave Mr Obama part of the free ride that mr Obama needed. Hope equals waiting and that's what Mr Obama is offering some more waiting for the middle class.

Watching CNN news made me realize how the press has now made this a campaign of the presidential nomination a case of all kinds of segregation or discrimination. Call it what you want.
We have :
black verses White verses Latino
Men verses Women
Old verses young
Over 50 under 50
Rich verses poor---note: no middle class
Educated :college verses uneducated note: high school grads or less.
I think they left out Orientals
They make it sound like Hillary can only attract Old,stupid,poor latinos and some white women
Then Barack Obama attracts blacks white men (a few of Hillary's white women)who are young rich and educated. Hmmm.
I think they left out the family dog. Oh yeah they also forgot Blonds brunettes red heads and bald.
The dog: one bark for Hillary and two barks for Obama! That should be the deciding factor unless they want to go by breed.
Cats don't count-they are too independant. Then again that quality may place them in the Obama column.

WHERE IS THE MEDIA THAT THEY DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT?

WE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE THE TRUTH.
WE WOULD NOT WANT THIS GUY TO BE OUR PRESIDENT.

THE MEDIA LOVES TO HEAR NEGATIVE, HORRIBLE COMMENTARIES ABOUT MRS. CLINTON AND IT IS OK. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO OBAMA IS WRONG?


MEDIA, IT IS OK TO HAVE SOMEONE FOR PRESIDENT THAT ???HAS BEEN ADICTED TO DRUGS????

IS THIS A MODEL FOR THE YOUNG GENERATION?

JakeNYC, great concept regarding clinical, bureaucratic efficiency. In principle I agree. There are so many things which need to be fixed. Unfortunately, H. Clinton is too divisive to make that happen.

Republican dreams come true. Just when they thought all was lost; along comes Barak.

The perfect storm continues to brew toward the total destruction of the Democratic Party

A divided and fractured party in a divided and fractured country.

comment: I am not casting my vote blindly for any of the canidates until I have hdv a chance to listen to them answer the hard questions about our ecomony,the war in Iraq, loss of home and health insurance for all americans. Gender and Race does not matter. What does matter is who will get the job done. I can't remember any President coming to the White House with experience unless it was a second term.Our lives and values are at stake here as american people. My last memory of Hillary Clinton leaving the White House was the Media reported twhen she left the White house for he last time furniture and other valuables were removed supposely be mistake by her moving company. She later paid the sum of money to the White House.I am tried of Bush,Clinton,Bush and now another Clinton wanting back into the White House. I want a new and fresh President that also has ideas and fresh throughts to come to the House of power. As far as I have sen so far and I amnot an Obama fan is he is really the only one with a true vision for our country.

The Rise and Fall of the 4th Estate
For many years now I have been concerned with the news media, especially television, 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 Super-Tuesday 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?

It is also amazing to me that some people say they are voting for Obama because electing a black President would move America past the era of racial politics. So...let me get this straight... in order to get us to a post-racial society you are voting based on race? Isn't voting for someone based on race the definition of racism?

Here is an excerpt from an Op-ed piece by Ambassador Joseph Wilson (who's wife Valerie Plame was outed by the Bush Administration)
...will Obama fight? His brief time on the national scene gives little comfort. Consider a February 2006 exchange of letters with McCain on the subject of ethics reform. The wrathful McCain accused Obama of being "disingenuous," to which Obama meekly replied, "The fact that you have now questioned my sincerity and my desire to put aside politics for the public interest is regrettable but does not in any way diminish my deep respect for you."
McCain was insultingly dismissive, but successful in intimidating his inexperienced colleague. Thus, in his one known encounter with McCain, Obama failed to stand his ground.
What gives us confidence that Obama will be stronger the next time he faces McCain, a seasoned political fighter with extensive national-security credentials? Even more important, what disadvantages does Obama carry into this contest on questions of national security?
How will Obama answer McCain about his careless remark about unilaterally bombing Pakistan -- perhaps blowing up an already difficult relationship with a nuclear state threatened by Islamic extremists? How will Obama respond to charges by the Kenyan government that his campaigning activities in Kenya in support of his distant cousin running for president there made him "a stooge" and constituted interference in the politics of an important and besieged ally in the war on terror?
How will he answer charges that his desire for unstructured personal summits without preconditions with a host of America's adversaries, from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Kim Jong-il, would be little more than premature capitulation?
Contrary to the myth of the Obama campaign, 2008 is not the year for transcendental transformation. The task for the next administration will be to repair the damage done by eight years of radical rule. And the choice for Americans is clear: four more years of corrupt Republican rule, senseless wars, evisceration of the Constitution, emptying of the national treasury -- or rebuilding our government and our national reputation, piece by piece.
To effect practical change against a determined adversary, we do not need a would-be philosopher-king, but a seasoned gladiator who understands the fight Democrats will face in the fall campaign and in governing.

Don't forget...this is the same media that gave Bush a free ride for almost 6 years...

The media is nothing more than a bunch a mealy-mouthed self-serving souless cowards who have no interest in the "truth"...only in being the tools of those selling ad space.
