With all of the Wright and bittergate coverage, how can anyone think that the MSM is anti-Hillary? |
|
Let's be honest here. If the media were really into propping up Barack Obama, they would have let both of these controversies die quickly. Instead they put it front and center day after day. The best thing Clinton could have ever asked for would be non-stop, wall-to-wall coverage of gates pastor and bitter, respectively.

3. The media is pro story |
|
they are beating on Obama because it is in their best interest for programing to do so. They gave him a lot of glowing press earlier in this primary season and will give it to him again should they think it benefits their ratings to do so again.

6. No intellectually honest person could believe MSM is anti-Hillary. |
|
Remember McCain's affair? How long did that last? Was it ever brought up again?

The media sold you George Bush and his Iraq war |

They propped up Obama for 9 months thinking that Hillary was damaged from the previous 15 year beating.

7. Some of you don't pay attention. They are anti-DEM. |
|
If they seem to favor one or the other of our candidates, it is a momentary thing only. Drama = ratings = money.

9. I was reading some article written by a member of the MSM |
|
He was saying that no one is sitting around at meetings thinking up stories that will attract advertisers. It's all driven by good stories he said.
But anyone can see that good stories aren't the same as news. Everyone loves stories the same way that everyone loves candy. The networks are selling candy and they get viewers. But our bodies need nutrients and proteins, not Snickers bars.

10. People are naive if they think it's all about ratings. |
|
The corporate media is the propaganda arm of much larger profiteering corporations. Doing business with the government is where the real money's at. The corporate media is anti-Dem and especially anti-Obama. They want to see Hillary get the nomination and then utterly destroy her, thereby installing McCain and getting more years of looting the Treasury. The result will be a depression.

11. They have treated Hillary like crap for years. |
|
On the other hand, the MSM are vultures who eat their young. Therefore, now it's Obama's turn. How does it feel?
