Whether you like Romney and Paul or not, you have to wonder which candidate will be next to be manipulated by the media. Or are Bobby and I both wrong on this?

I noticed that also. I might have missed MSM discussing their wins, but on the few times I tuned in, MSM was gushing over McCain - the most liberal and least mentally stable candidate and MSM’s favorite.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Umm I thought I saw CNN & FNC cover nevada a bunch in the early afternoon yesterday.

[Nextrush]

MSM: “We get high....we get high....we get high....McCain.”

[rineaux]

Who would you think came in second in NV?

Romney is a MSM worst nightmare. They know that he would win against either hillary or obama.

[Edward Watson]

I agree. It was perplexing why Romney’s (and Ron Paul’s!) win in Nevada got so little media play - everything was McCain, McCain, McCain on both Fox and CNN. Romney got 51% of the Nevada vote for crying out loud and 67% of the Wyoming vote - something McCain can only dream about. Ron Paul’s second place finish was also notable.

Romney walked away with an additional 18 delegates, giving him a total of 72 delegates (compared to McCain’s 38 and Huckabee’s 29 - wasn’t that newsworthy?

It has become obvious to me my favorite news station, Fox News, is pushing for McCain and is doing its best to marginalize Romney. Very disappointing.

[bannie]

Neither does Thompson.

[ken21]

that’d steal hillary’s fire.

say, if anyone on this forum thinks the “dinosaur media” is

dying or dead, they’re nuts!

[enough_idiocy]

No, you’re not. Mitt is far ahead in terms of delegates and yet McCain has been said to be the leader even before his win in South Carolina. They’re pushing him on us.

They’re doing the same with Obama. He keeps winning more delegates, but they’re falling over themselves b/c Hillary “won.” It’s about delegates and she got less than Obama, but she “won?”

We don’t have a real media, we have cheerleaders and activists.

[Brett66]

I heard on Fox News on more than one occasion this morning how McCain was the front runner.
WTF? How does being a distant second in delegates equate to being the first?
South Carolina wasn’t winner take all so he split most of those delegates with Huckabee. Romney trounced everyone in Nevada so he picked up a lot of delegates.
An appropriate chess analogy would be like McCain sacrificing his Queen to take Mitt’s knight. McCain is losing in all of the places Mitt expected him to and is losing ground fast.

[oiler]

The MSM and Rhinos are

And the Sheeple keep grazing on whatever they dish up.
They did the same thing to Fred Thompson.

The MSM have selected McLlame to lose to Hillary Rotten Klinton in 08’

I CALL UPON ALL CONSERVATIVES TO UNITE. REFUSE TO FUND THE RNC AND RHINOS until they return to the ideals of Ronald Reagan, Kirk, the young Goldwater and Buckley.

What have the RINOS and the MSM done to my HEROS???!!

[spanalot]

I am stunned that MSNBC is less prejudiced than FOX - unbelievable.

[restornu]

No kidding I was listening to the WABC 77 news and heard McCain and Clinton won.

I called and asked why Romney was not mention since he had the highest delegates for R and the guy said something that Nevada was not big enough and there was not enought time, so I called him on his bias, and he said, ya you got me!

[longtermmemmory]

The MSM (this includes Fox who are too busy orgasming over the democrat race) has a template the follow to the tee.

Replicans had “something” too, whatever.

[Mogollon]

And true to form, FOX and CNN practically dismissed the whole vote in Nevada.

I don't know what happened on CNN, but Fox News spent hours on Nevada and Mitt's win there.

[citizen]

I watch a lot of FNC. They are totally in the tank for McCain, at least their brass is. Their on-air reporters, some of them, do try to report fairly.

Overall the direction, the tone and tenor, the graphics, the enthusiasm of the political panel, etc. is pretty much all geared to pumping up McCain and dismissing other candidates by telling us what does and what does not matter: Which primaries matter and which don't, who has the momentum, selective hyping of polls, the face time and on-air questioning of guests....

It all shows that FNC's slogans have become BS lies - "Fair and Balanced" "We Report, You Decide" mean nothing when it comes to hyping McCain, Fox is relentless in beating the McCain drum.

I find myself watching the other channels more and more these days. Sorry, FNC I can and will make up my own mind.

[gondramB]

>>Whether you like Romney and Paul or not, you have to wonder which candidate will be next to be manipulated by the media. Or are Bobby and I both wrong on this?<<

Its not so much dismissing Romney as it is that South Carolina happens on the same day and is considered much more important.

[Always Right]

You can add Fred to that list. Rudy and McCain are the media darlings, and Huckabee is the candidate who rose that the media loves only because he is an easy target to defeat.
