Did anyone see ABC’s "unbiased" coverage of Obama’s St. Paul speech last night? |
|
ABC was the only broadcast network to cover the speech, so credit should be given there; however, the way they covered it was typical “librul” MSM.
They aired his opening remarks including his praise of Hillary, but just as soon as he mentioned McCain’s attacks on himself as being inexperienced, ABC cut back to the network talking heads. Meanwhile, I assume, someone was quickly cueing up tapes of Hillary and McSame’s speeches. After a few minutes of banter they cut to a short sound bite from Hillary’s speech and then to a longer bit of McSame attacking Obama.
So, basically, they cut away Obama before he could address McSame’s critisms of himself, and went to a tape of McCain....slamming Obama.
I just shook my head. It looks like it’s going to be more of the same “unbiased” campaign coverage from the MSM this time around. :mad:

2. Just wait til these networks stop taking money to run |
|
his campaign ads/commercials like they did to Kerry in 2004. It was unfreakingbelieveable! And very frustration.........
The Kerry Campaign couldn't even rent billboards in Ohio (I think it was) during the 2004 campaign season.

Because the fun is just starting. Did you hear that Rezko's trial result just came out? Coincidence?

9. abc blows. Screw them and the mouse they rode in on. |

They're as bad as fux.
chuck and george can kiss my ass. Nothing they do surprises me anymore. I quit watching them (with a few exceptions) after they aired that POS path to 9-11. :grr:

10. I sent them an angry e-mail |
|
I noticed that they cut away when he started criticizing McCain. To give them the benefit of the doubt, I thought they might have limited time. But, noooooo...they went to cuts of Clinton's speech and McCain's while Obama was still talking. Then George Snagglepuss got his worthless two cents in.
I switched to CBS and found they were covering the whole speech!
I told ABC I'd switched to them when Ms. Perky took over the anchor at CBS but I might have to switch back.
