Media Excuse Obama’s False Advertising
Family Security Matters ^ | June 24, 2008 | Cliff Kincaid

Posted on 06/24/2008 5:07:51 AM PDT by captjanaway

What happens when the "fact-checkers" don't check facts and the "watchdogs" don't watch? Consider the case of those who claim to be watching politicians for lies and deceptions and pretend to analyze Senator Barack Obama's new patriotic "Country I Love" television ad, airing in 18 states.

The Annenberg Political Fact Check, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, and Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz have written analyses of the Obama ad. But they are as flawed as the ad itself.

Very funny..... Then again, perhaps he loves Courtney more than his country? Who knows with Obama - don’t think he’d know the truth if it slapped him in the face.

Obama is beginning his "move to the right" and the media is giving him carte blanche along the way, failing to call him out on his lies and flip-flops.

The media is on his side and it is up to all Freepers to point out these facts to friends, family members, and strangers when provided the opportunity.

Pure socialist/communist

It’s so evident from the pronouncements of the liberal (socialist) democratic party that they believe in socialist ideals and directions. The latest is the nationalization of refineries

If they can take refineries, just as Chavez has done in Venezuela, then they can take your small business, your house, your family, your life.

In socialism the government owns everything.

Sounds like a travelogue for Kenya. Or perhaps Indonesia. Or maybe even Mecca's holy land of Saudi Arabia itself.

The Supreme Court has established as much in saying that you can be forced by a township to sell your "private" property to another private entity (like a connected business developer) if the community finds it to their advantage (say a sales tax generating mall or bar where your private home once stood).

The media is in love with Obama and will give him a free pass.

While eminent domain as currently understood is a shadow of socialism, real full blown socialism actually owns everything. You don’t. They do.
