Topic: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

watching CNN ESPECIALLY, then CBS, NBC and ABC is like watching an OBAMA campaign session.


I cant believe the coverage PALIN is getting with everything that is NOT politics.
Her Daughter and the assault on her.....is sickening.
Her Husbands DUI  ??  over 25 years ago ??
Her Fishing license or hunting ??
Her FIVE Children ??  How she can be a mother.....and a VP ??     I cant believe the left wants to make that an issue.

The LEFT is SCARED to death of this woman.
She is a card carrying member of the NRA.
A small Govt., Tax cutting Conservative.
A strong opponent of ROE, and a staunch right to lifer.
A supporter of Constructionist Justices, Alito/Robers like.
A supporter of Drilling in Alaska, and anywhere else a Well can be productive.



The coverage of the RNC by CNN Specifically is so partisan Obama it makes me sick.
They have just about Destroyed Lieberman.
They mocked Thompson.  As Soladat(sic.) on CNN put it......."After all, he is an actor."  When a so called "Commentator"  who just so happened to help Hilary Clinton write her book mocked and laughed at Thompson, his southern drawl, his wife and his delivery of the speech.
Soladat responds, as the so called reporter, supposedly moderating two Liberals laughing, "After all, he is an actor."
Unreal.


The Leftist, info-babe (a Rushism),  lady anchors are on full attack.
After all, A man can say bad things about PALIN, and mostly get away with in on the left.
BUT..... Have an INFO-BABE deliver the assault on PALIN, and its OK.


The Tears in the audience when they tributed the Navy SEAL Medal of Honor winner, was passed over.
Great Camera work.  Of course you cant show any of that.....its to .... ahem.... Patriotic.


One of the great things I noticed.
The Media ACTUALLY covered the Singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and the Audience.
ALL....   not most.  Not some.....
ALL in attendence had their hand over their hearts, OR were saluting.

Unlike the DNC Bash AMERICA fest I saw last week.



Any one wish to add on ?

Come .......joust w/the master.
I'm always Right.   You are just intellectually Left.....behind.

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

With all the attacks Obama has gotten against him that are irrelevant politically, i dont see why you mock the media for focusing on Palins familiy and backround

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

the media gets mocked for doing it because they are self proclaimed unbiased reporters of news.  so when they are caught in hypocrisy we go after them.

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

Don't be hypocritical BW. After what your party did to John Kerry four years ago, they deserve nothing less than Palin being spanked to a bloody pulp. Or do you like dirty politics only when it favours your side?

Go watch FOX, I'm sure they're all over McCain's butt there.

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

Republicans are a lie machine. I don't think they made up anything about her daughter, unlike what the GOP did about Kerry and his Vietnam actions.

That is unfair and a bunch of lies and... what, you already know all of this. Go suck it up.

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

@BW
While it is clear these channels are leaning more or less violently to Obama, there are a two points to be noted:

1. The trashing of Palin completely plays into the republican strategy, as exposed in the Palin thread. The liberal media, even understanding it, has no choice but to play the usual vultures. To get the full grasp of it, suffices to read your post (mixing left and media sensationalism) and hear the RNC: everyone is trying to blame the trashing on the democrats, when Obama AND Biden made it clear they did not want any part in it.

2. Talking of "the media" without citing the biggest US channel Fox, which plays completely into the republican assets (though less partisan, more effective), is kind of deceiving.

"Republicans are a lie machine."

So are Democrats and any other politician you ignorant fool.

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

I didnt realize Going after the Falacy that was Kerry's Service, after his tossing his fellow countrymen/soldiers under the bus.....
His Three Purple hearts w/2 days in the Infirmary, and his quick exit from NAM because of his 3 Purple hearts w/2 days at the clinic....

Genesis, you know not what you are saying.   I question, as a veteran, every single Purple heart he received.
I CAN DO THIS....because I Declined my LT's offer of writing up a Purple heart for me.  I scratch from a little incoming hardly warrants a Purple Heart.


Obama attacked ??  ROFL.  Where ?  Because of HIS actions or HIS non action, or HIS Inexperience ??

Obama on the cover of US holding his Wife, .... what a loving couple.

PALIN on the cover of US, holding her baby....how can she possibly lead ?  w/stories about her family.
Hmmm.....  is there a problem here ?


* * * * *

Flashing back and forth from CNN and FOX on meeting of Palin/McCain family on Tarmac.

Unreal.   My God, CNN is on a Mission to DESTROY the Palin family.

Soladat O'Brian (CNN Anchor Babe)  is a FRIGGIN TOOL !!!!

True. Some do it more blatantly than others though, and only those who are too stupid to dismiss it without questioning it may be called fools wink

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

lol just watched your Fox reporting about US Weekly, nicely done.

Both covers, lashing Palin on the left, Obama's love story on the right, staying 1 full minute on the screen.

This is the closest you can get so far to link Palin's trashing and Obama, still not a real hit, though, but if you repeat such links, you might get the sought-after confusion.

The best thing is Fox News (FOX NEWS!) playing the shocked role and the guy saying "they can't undo the damage a powerful medium like this can do", ha ha ha!
Somebody please remind me the price of a minute TV ad on Fox News, without even entering into the fact that it's supposed to be news, and the full thing totals more than 6 minutes.

Media bashing party, now that's funny. As pointed out, so many are so clearly left-biaised that it definitely helps to bring some balance.
Unfair? Of course. But just watch Cafferty on CNN for 5 minutes and it becomes balanced big_smile

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

BW let me tell ya something you dont wanna hear, and something i don't wanna hear cuz it applies to me as well

when we watch news, cuz we have already picked sides, even if they say one little bad thing about our candidate, we flip out
i watch CNN and think they bash obama too much sometimes...it's just the point of view you see it from

however i'd say Fox and MSNBC are 100% biased..no questions there..but for others it's mostly how we see them..






BW your last post said something of magazine covers, and i'm glad you brought that up
remember when all the news channels ESPECIALLY CNN were making fun of Obama in that funny looking costume, and then time magazine i think it was came up with a cover, with Obama and michelle dressed as terrorrists, strapped with ak47s in the oval office,
well i would say that is more hurtfull tongue than any picture of palin holding a baby

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

Gladiator...  No, thats a leftist Mantra.   Well, the News is biased to you......and if it pisses both sides off, the Media is working.  ROFL.
Nope.  Sorry.  Not I.     I find when it comes time to BURY a Conservative.....the Media Rolls out the big guns.

Thats, All the major Networks on a LOOP.
The NY Times, running a front page article about how PALIN cant Possibly be a good mother and a VP at the same time.....then questions her ability to be a mother, when her teenage, unwed daughter gets Pregnant.   THEN.....almost bashing the family for keeping that child, and questions her giving birth to a handicapped child.   UNREAL.


As for what you think is Biased.....ROFL.
Figures.

MSNBC..... is that even considered a Network ??  I mean, they dont even have ratings.

Come .......joust w/the master.

...I wish for the days before my time when news was not nearly so biased either way and they would not try to slant the story.
Boring? Maybe.
Truthful?  Obviously not but at least they weren't nearly so full of lies.

Gladiator Black_Wing lack theory of mind... we will never understand your point of view.. although you aggre with him he does not understand. It is the same of saying that a german soldier from the ww2 could have been a nice person.. he doesnt understand it.

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

>>Republicans be a lie contraption, Dance the Hempen Jig I dern't think they made up anythin' about that comely wench daughter, unlike what th' GOP did about Kerry an' his Vietnam actions.
And hoist the mainsail!  The sharks will eat well tonight!

That is unfair an' a bunch o' lies an'.., feed the fishes what, ye already know all o' this.  Go suck it up.<<

Kerry is a POS traitor, he curried lies fer th' NVA while in Paris then came home an' said "Trust th' commies more than Nixon".


I guess ye missed th' story that Palin's little lad with Downs Syndrome is supposedly NOT HERS, but that comely wench daughters adn Palin faked that comely wench pregnancy.., ya bilge rat! 

Also th' STUPID "I dern't care bein' aliberated wenches but those Bible thumpers must want t' burn a teen mother at th' stake, so let's speculate on whether IGNORANT BIBLETHUMPER BIGOTRY will destroy Palin though o' course I dern't object, not bein' A BIBLETHUMPING BIGOT..."

Katie Couric asked a Republican if "that comely wench story cancels out experience?...well thar be plenty o' democrats who would disagree with ye"  th' Republican shoulda said "NO $$$$ Sherlock" why dern't ye ask Michael Parenti t' comment on th' Dem convention then "Total whores, they sold out th' worker fer th' corporate overlords" it would be worthy o' comment if a Democrat agreed wtih their BEING a Republican convention, I remember when they attakced Republicans fer havin' th' wrong CARPET

Re: The Media, and its handling of the RNC and the DNC

"Her FIVE Children ??   How she can be a mother.....an' a VP ??      I cant believe th' left wants t' make that an issue."

'tis a legitimate concern, not necessarily one that is unique t' that comely wench but still.  Ye'll be sleepin' with the fishes!  Fetch me spyglass!  Whenever someone takes a job thar is th' question o' how they will arrange their priorities.   In Palin's case she has 5 little sandcrabs one o' whom has Downs if I'm not mistaken (If I am I apologize th' news tends t' all blend together fer me some times).   So th' question arises can she balance that comely wench responsibilities t' that comely wench family with that comely wench responsibilities as VP.   Now I agree it is unfair t' level this particular gun at just Palin as it applies t' any past, present, or future politician who had th' gaul t' have a family.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
