The Mainstream MEDIA is Conning you! Do your Homework! |
|
The mainstream media will have you believe whatever BS they are steering to you. Pay attention because the mainstream media is looking at the blogs for guidance at this point. They can tell if the bull they're pushing is working or not working. The media is full of PIN heads; opinion heads. Many of them are not reliable because they intersperse too much opinion into whatever they are covering. There are only a few trustworthy journalists out there. Keith Olbermann has the clearest head of any of them.
The vampires of MSM want nothing more than to see a blood bath between Obama and Clinton. Issues don't matter. The Wright story was planned. The Clinton-sniper story is of her own making because her own words about the incident impeaches her truthfulness about the incident. Nonetheless... the story got legs because the mainstream media is provoking us to believe that the narrative is what we want to see. And where is John McCain in all of this? You think he hasn't made any blunders? There is an inevitability factor involved where McCain is concerned. If he gets his day in the spotlight of if he doesn't, trust me when I say this... it is still planned by the media.
As the mainstream media play both sides of the Democratic fence while largely ignoring John McCain, understand that this is done purposefully. They are timing all of this.
Wright has been out there on a string since Obama announced his candidacy. It was bubbling under the radar, ignored on purpose, being culled over for the bites that the public was hungry for, or better yet might find most inflammatory. With glee the media watched the feeding frenzy as the Wright clips dripped out and then they of course poured more fuel on the fire, for the better part of a week. Context? What the hell is that? MSM... want spin. You think the media didn't time this thing out? I got some swamp land I wanna sell you, if you believe they just stumbled onto Wright's videos.
Beyond the media, here is the clear difference in the two democratic candidates. Obama did something that I don't think I've seen a candidate do to get ahead of the media in a long time. He gave a HUGE speech confronting racism and religion. Clinton used her words to embellish her foreign policy credentials and when she gave her speech on the economy, no one was even listening. One candidate was opportunistic when he had to be. The other couldn't see what hit her because she had been given a free pass on her experience for so long. The media... steering you in both instances.
Don't be conned by the media. Listen. observe. Learn what you can but believe only half the story has been brought to the fore. Do your homework and research. When they introduce a story that has legs, they're most likely not telling you everything you need to know. The choice of spin over substance has gotten MSM where they are today but as the insurgent blogs take over the information super highway, it appears that the relevance of MSM is in jeopardy. People doing their homework and calling the media on it's coverage will bring responsibility back to what is now really called the "BOOB-TUBE"

The MSM will be only too happy to squash your candidate like a bug when the time is considered right by the PTB. It is going to happen.
