Reply #42: But that assumption is not true and Bill Clinton should know it. [View All]

"Appearing on Good Morning America Thursday, Clinton told ABC News' Chris Cuomo that McCain's push to postpone the debate would only be a good political move if both candidates agreed. McCain announced on Wednesday that he would "suspend" his presidential campaign to come to Washington to help negotiate a financial bailout bil."

1. The corporate media is still the predominant writer of the script, even taking in to account the Internet's growing influence. In spite of the criticism you may be hearing now, I have no doubt many in the corporate media will flip on a dime and later praise McCain for his supposed "leadership".

2. The corporate media's clients are corporations, the people are only customers to be sold a product or down the river.

3. Some in the corporate media see the handwriting on the wall now, knowing the people's initial reaction or emotion to McCain running from a debate is anger, so they criticize McCain.

4. After the bailout vote, the dysfunctions in the economy will be masked for a short period of time, November isn't far off. At that point, many in the corporate media that are criticizing him now will conveniently forget McCain abandoning the people's or customer's best interest by running from a crucial debate needed for their most critical of deliberations and they will begin to praise the rooster for causing the sun to rise on the corporations, aka; their client.

5. If Obama takes up Bob Barr's offer to debate him, they will mostly spar against one another, so McSame is elevated by default. If Obama turns Barr down, this will used by the Republicans to dampen his argument, that debates are important.

6. There is only one scenario, I see where Obama gains politically on McSame, that being if he does debate Barr, and they have a high road, amicable debate, where they both come off as Presidential. I believe the chance of this happening to be a long shot, as the Commission would have to approve it and Obama would have to trust Barr in sticking to the high road as Obama has more to lose. But even then I imagine the corporate media will try to nitpick whatever they can find.
