There's a reason why Obama gets positive coverage! |
|
His judgment on the most critical American foreign policy issue since Vietnam has been spot-on, unlike McCain's.
He doesn't make "say what?!" gaffes, unlike McCain.
He makes eloquent, powerful, and inspirational speeches, unlike McCain.
He doesn't have a long and contradictory senatorial record to drag him down, unlike McCain.
He is not ideologically-tied to the worst president since Andrew Johnson, unlike McCain.
He doesn't make tasteless and offensive jokes, unlike McCain.
He is young (for a politician), charismatic, and handsome, unlike McCain.
He is calm and classy, unlike McCain.
He started from nothing and made it to the top, unlike McCain.
He brings out the best in people, unlike McCain.
Care to add? We could go on and on.

3. He's also making news. |
|
The media has been extremely generous -- to put it mildly -- toward McCain. But they can't expect the media to write about him when he's napping.
Obama's trip is news. (And, I have to say, the photos coming out of that trip are phenomenal!)

4. McCain is more obsessed with Obama than the media is ... |
|
As much as McCain talks about the media being obsessed with Obama, McCain is even more so. Every time the man speaks, he mentions Obama's name. Go to his website. Obama is mentioned everywhere. Obama is mentioned more on McCain's website than McCain himself is. McCain wonders why Obama is getting all the media converage, but what does McCain do every time a reporter shoves a mike in his face? Begin to talk about Obama.
McCain doesn't go around telling people why they should vote for McCain, he goes around telling people why they shouldn't vote for Obama. Before McCain lectures the media for being obsessed with Obama, he should get over his own obsession with Obama.

6. Dan Rather's lawsuit and admission that corporate media protected Bush thru 2005 for the |
|
favorable FCC rulings they expected in a second term.
Keith Olbermann's increasingly aggressive programs the last 3yrs that have gained in the ratings.
Too many lies of BushInc coming out that media helped sell at the time.
Unspinnable events like Katrina, that left corpmedia speechless and unprepared to protect BushInc.

8. The media is actually helping McCain by not covering him. |
|
Too bad McCain is too stupid to realize this.
