There have been No MSM mentions of Obama in the "New Party", since evidence was brought forward yesterday. None, nada. It can be found at Google news, but only in conservative blogs.

On the other hand, it is easy to find MSM articles in the last 24 hours that mention Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party .

This difference in media treatment between the two tickets is almost spooky.

"This difference in media treatment between the two tickets is almost spooky."

It's outright propaganda in every sense of the word. I've never seen anything like it. We all knew they were clearly biased when they kissed Clinton's ass for eight years, but this is ridiculous!!

The MSM has been curiously uncurious about the idea of doing any investigative reporting on Barack Obama.

For some silly reason, it triggers an extremely random thought from a poem by Shel Silverstein:

“Who’s keeping score with the scorekeeper’s wife while the scorekeeper’s out keeping score.”

I have no idea how it ties in with the topic at hand, but it made me laugh a little.

It may be “spooky” to you, but it is business as usual with anyone who has watched this process since Nixon’s Checkers speech. The MSM is liberal, elitist, condescending and totally enamored with all things socialist and “progressive” Any “news” that is contrary or would put a bad or questionable light on “their guy” is squashed and snuffed. If it still makes it “out” then spin it as a non consequential story of some “right wing nutcase”. If it still lingers, then decry it as a “last gasp effort” or “grasping at straws” of a “failed campaign of smears”............

The Press consider themselves intellectuals. ‘Intellectual’ club membership requires belief that 1. Socialism is a wonderful idea that has never been put into practice in the right way, 2. Europeans are more sophisticated than Americans, and therefore emulating them is a sign of sophistication, 3. Selfishness, prejudice, and ignorance among American whites is the root cause of all the social problems in US society, 4. Religion is truly the ‘opiate of the masses’, and is destructive, 5. The opinions of Ivy league liberals are the most erudite, progressive, and correct opinions one can encounter....... The list goes on and on.

If liberals will not deal honestly with the leftist Obama, is there any reason to respect them?

The reporters are helping Obama because almost all of them are liberal. A 1992 survey of journalists said that 80% of them voted for Clinton, and 15% of them voted for Bush.

Media is indoctrinated in the schools which are left leaning. Retake the schools should be the number one issue. Academia influences government, business, media, Hollywood, etc. — there is no end to it. The viper in the heart of the bosom.

Because they are all communists.

Obama's election will complete the cultural revolution of the late '60's - of which these yo-yo's are all graduate students.

Why Does the Press Cover for Obama?

It's in their nature.

Consider:

What lines bird cages?

What do you use to wrap dead fish?

What do you use to housebreak puppies?

What do you use to put under the litter box?

What do you use to line the box for new puppies and/or kittens?

Who cleans up 0bama's mess(es)?

They want a story, excitement, to stir the pot...

Obama most likely isn’t a US citizen. Born in Indonesia. Where’s that investigation and story?

The media have a vested interest in the destruction of our country.
Bad news sells more newspapers.

There’s nothing wrong with being a socialist.

I take exception to that comment. Socialists are at best niave, but always effectivley tyrants. They are evil. Socialism kills.

Drudge has a story written by a CBS reporter who is rather p***ed off at the Obama campaign. The media is being treated badly by The One - the plane even smells.

The last line of his article is "In politics what goes around comes around".

One of the prime reasons I no longer read Powerline and haven't in months. Not that I disagree with their premise about the media being fully in Obama-lama Ding Dong's tank.
