Nothing New!! MSM has Total blackout on Obamas "Coal" comments!

Posted on 11/02/2008 8:42:47 PM PST by rfmad

Well well I just surveyed most MSM websites and there's not a hint of the explosive audio of Obama saying he will bankrupt Coal companies. Never mind it is a major industry in the most important states still undecided in the election. Obama also promised that we will have to endure higher Energy cost so we limit climate change. Hear that "Fall" and "Spring" looks like you are about to be extinct! "Climate change" is now on the hunt now that "global warming" was such a failure. I guess they need a new "undefinable" and ever observant condition to destroy capitalism.

Once again the MSM does'nt disappoint. It is still way biased to the far left. Well at least they are predictable.

Obama can try to run a contra ad explaining that he really didn’t say what he said.

Not surprising. However, Fox covered it tonight. It should be replaying again soon. Check out Hannity & Colmes show. I don’t always like what I hear on Fox, but I do know one thing for a dog-dang fact....they are the ONLY news outlet that does tell both sides of the story...and often, do a dang good job of it.

His only chance is massive and successful voter fraud plus an unusually high dem turnout compared to pubbies.

As noted on other threads, the Democratic PUMAs will be voting for McCain, not 0bama.

His aunt, bankrupting coal, higher electricity prices - if he wins it will only be because of the media and their refusal to do an honorable job.

Wow, you guys are behind on the news. Hannity had it on tonight and Sarah mentioned in two of her rallies today in Ohio and it only came out this morning. Thanks to many FReepers who sent it to every news outlet they could think of it is getting out there. They can’t ignore it. Also, CBS has already tried to spin it by saying that the tape has been available all these months and McCain just ignored it, which is BS. It was hidden all these months. The fact they have already tried to spin it means that it has already cost Bozo, and tomorrow it will cost him even more.

You mean toasting a PLO terrorist with another terrorist (whom you don’t know) and a certain newspaper would rather DIE than release the tape...

The media should be thought of as enemy combattants.

Do you know how this finally came out?

Makes me wonder what else they’re hiding that we know nothing about.

I’ll ask the RNC why they need my money? They, and the McCain campaign really dropped the ball here. This should have been included in ads and in every GOP rally speech from way back when BHO said it. McCain and Palin should have mentioned it at the debates.

Are they trying to win or what?

Even Fox kept trying to kill it today... Newt mentioned it twice and Cavuto cut him off twice. I understand Hannity had it on his show tonight.

In all fairness: look at the thread over on the hillaryclinton forum... they slammed this out in mass to everyone and their brother; I’ve never seen a list like it. We are very lucky the PUMA are on our side, hey are formidable and they are organized.

NO ONE knew about this until today!!!!! You don’t think if this was know back in January Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have run this up the flagpole? She would have. The SFGate cut that portion of the tape when they originally released it.
