Look back. The media anointed Hillary as "inevitable".

Then the voters got involved.
 

Obama has the media eating out of his hand-they all live in la-la land. If the media could be a little more realistic instead of idealistic, they might be more objective in their "news" stories.
 

Give me a break - doesn't anyone out there have something else to do rather than complain about the media?
 

As I recall, during the first month of the campaign Obama really dominated because his campaign dominated. I'd guess if they did stats on the month before Iowa Clinton would come out on top.
 

excuses, excuses...she lost. Get over it
 

If Obama lost, there would be stories about racism in the media. Hillary lost, so we get stories about sexism. When McCain loses, we'll get stories about the media bias against stupid people ... on it goes.
 

And, when Douglas loses it will be blamed on slogans not solutions, me thinks.
 

NEK said...

"Obama has the media eating out of his hand-they all live in la-la land."

"..la-la land", eh?

Ya mean where facts count and your bush-league BS don't pass for evidence, nekkie boy.

Obama came out of virtual nowhere to win 11 in a row from the prohibitive favorite for the Dem Nomination. That's a story, schmuck. Moreover, unlike your delusional dreck, it's a story substantiated by the facts and rooted in reality. Deal with it.

"If the media could be a little more realistic instead of idealistic, they might be more objective in their "news" stories."

Such as? Do tell. Go on. Feel free to elaborate. Feel free to expand on that, nekkie boy.

That's what I thought.

Hopefully the media will actually begin to finally do its job and McCain's inability to distinguish Sunni from Shiite, al-qaeda from every other terrorist group who doesn't like us bein' in Iraq free press pass will finally come to an end and he will be subjected to the same factual scrutiny as Obama is. The only thing Hilary has accomplished is to allow the media to give McCain a free pass for his factually-challenged nonsense.

As McClellan finally says in his book, the so-called liberal media has been giving the White House a free pass for far too long. If they'd done their job, Bush wouldn't be President, the Country wouldn't be broke, we wouldn't be in Iraq and 50 thousand US Military Personnel wouldn't have been killed or maimed for nothing.

Always a pleasure.

Dismissed.
 

yawn
 

C'mon.... the media biased? ...the media supporting it's own agenda? ...the media in the tank for B.O.?

I am shocked. I am sure Chris Matthews will have something to say about this!

You can't tell me it took a Johns Hopkins study to make you aware of this. Objectivity in the media went away years ago.
 

The media has already been compromised by its horse race mentality of coverage. Instead the media should focus on issues and candidates positions and not on how much money they raised. So now America is being sold a bill of goods by the American Media Industry.

We have two parties representing wealth and big business and not people. The American media is partially to blame for it, just as they are responsible in beating the drums of war.

We need a political revolution, but obviously it is not being televised or in this matter printed.
 

It is ironic when McClellan was Bush's spokesperson, the left continually called him a liar, now he writes a book and the left thinks he is "Honest Abe".
How can anyone say Bush has been getting a free pass? I do not support Bush and I am not defending him but to say he has been getting a free pass-wow-I wonder what the press, CNN, NBC, CBS and MSNBC would be saying if they didn't like him.
It is obvious that the press's new favorite is Obama and Coopy can rant and rave (he sounds like a Bernie clone)all he wants but the fact are there- Obama gets the ink.
McCain misspeaks occasionally but so does Obama when he was going to bomb Pakistan! and we only have how many states? and Jerry Wright is my spiritual leader- and Tony Resco is my biggest fund raiser!
 

We have a woman in the race for Governor so lets see how that goes.

How true. The BFP article on Rezko's conviction was page 3 in the BFP today. The left wing-nuts are still talking about the Keating 5.

Much of Obama's speech declaring his victory in the primary were remarks lifted from previous speeches by Mario Cuomo in 1984.


Among the other free passes he has been given include:

Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." The actual death toll: 12.

-- Earlier in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: "Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."

-- In front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: "Thank you, Sioux City. ... I said it wrong. I've been in Iowa for too long. I'm sorry."

-- Explaining why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle." On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?

-- Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:

"There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born."

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was "speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole."

-- In Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: "We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it's harder for us to use them in Afghanistan." The real reason it's "harder for us to use them" in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi or other non-Arabic languages.

-- In Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multi-billion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear waste cleanup:

"Here's something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I'm not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don't know exactly what's going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I'll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport."

I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he's voted on at least one defense authorization bill that addressed the "costs, schedules, and technical issues" dealing with the nation's most contaminated nuclear waste site.

-- Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama's "Dreams from My Father":

"Then, there's the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don't exist, say the magazine's own historians."

-- And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd that Iran doesn't "pose a serious threat to us" -- cluelessly arguing that "tiny countries" with small defense budgets can't do us harm -- and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, "I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave."

Barack Obama -- promoted by the Left and the media as an all-knowing, articulate, transcendent Messiah -- is a walking, talking gaffe machine. (http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MichelleMalkin/2008/05/21/barack_obama_gaffe_machine)

Coopy seems to be having fun with McCain's misspeaks but he seems pretty coherent when compared to B.O.

But then I am sure Olbermann and Matthews have reported on all of these.
 

Ironic how the Republicans used to say that McClellan was "Honest Abe" and now they say that he's an incompetent liar.
 

McCain's TVQ is zilch. I'm guessing he'll allow Romney on the ticket to pretty it up a bit. I tried to think of a GOP woman who could bring that to the ticket, but, alas, there don't seem to be any candidates out there. That may sound shallow, but the American public elected Bush because he seemed like the guy you could have a beer with. Look where that got us.
 

Define "the first month of campaign coverage." Are we talking about January, when the voting actually began ? Or earlier, since the campaigns had been in full swing for close to a year before Iowa.

Either way, there were more than just the 2 candidates then. It seems a better analysis (or analysis of an analysis) would include data on all the candidates in the race.

Well, ain't that just brimmin' with bupkis, nekkie boy.

Once again, your factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest, ignorant-trash bupkis opinion ain't evidence, nekkie boy. It's merely your factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest, ignorant-trash bupkis opinion.

The only thing that's obvious is that you failed to cough up one fact in the paragraph cited to support your specious slop.

That may get ya a lunatic-fringe merit badge or two in the bizarro world, but it don't cut it in this one.

"McCain misspeaks occasionally but so does Obama when he was going to bomb Pakistan! and we only have how many states? and Jerry Wright is my spiritual leader- and Tony Resco is my biggest fund raiser!"

Define "occasionally".

Feel free to cite, little factually-challenged fella.

That's what I thought.

"How true. The BFP article on Rezko's conviction was page 3 in the BFP today. The left wing-nuts are still talking about the Keating 5."

There's something to talk about with McCain and Keating. Obama and Rezko, not so much.

McCain was implicated in the Keating Five Scandal. Was Obama implicated in the Rezko Verdict, little factually-challenged filly?

That's what I thought.

Town Hall and Michelle Malkin as evidence, eh? That's a good one, auntie amerika.

That's enough BP for me, little factually-challenged filly. You can start trying any time now.

Always a pleasure.

Dismissed.

You are so predictable that you bore me, Coopy. Sometime feel free to post a creative thought, not something cut and pasted from your pre-approved Party playbook.

Independent and critical thinking is not your strong suit. Critical thought and opposable thumbs are the only things that separate us from our evolutionary past. Your thumbs are opposable aren't they?


Captain America
 

Unrelated but, a court martial on Wednesday acquitted a US Marine for his role in the deaths of 24 civilians in Haditha in Iraq in 2005, the sixth man to be exonerated in the affair, a military official said.
Lieutenant Andrew Grayson, 27, was declared "not guilty on all charges" by a jury, said a spokesman for the Camp Pendleton military base in southern California where the hearing started on May 28.


Anybody think John Murtha will be apologizing for all the bad things he said about this guy?

...now back to the thread already in progress.

Then get your ignorant, ill-informed anonymous ass some new lies, auntie amerika. It'd be refreshing to actually crack a sweat after the better part of 8 months of your factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest, delusional dreck, little filly.

"Sometime feel free to post a creative thought, not something cut and pasted from your pre-approved Party playbook."

In other words, ya want me to deviate from the facts and make up psychotic slop like your ignorant ass.

Nah, thanks anyway. I'll stick with the facts and the evidence.

As opposed to your ignorant, ill-informed anonymous, michelle malkin-citin' ass little factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest filly.

"Independent and critical thinking is not your strong suit." Critical thought and opposable thumbs are the only things that separate us from our evolutionary past. Your thumbs are opposable aren't they?"

Thinkin' ain't your strong suit, auntie amerika. Still, keep workin' on that thumb thing before arthritis does to your hands what dimwitted dementia has done for your coalition of the clueless cretin cabeza, crazy lady.

Always a pleasure.

No original thought as usual. More of the same...cut and paste, throw around some insults and then cut and paste some more.

WOW, not only can the Coopster cut and paste from the party playbook, he can cut and paste from the Congressional Record."

And so far not only has your ignorant, anonymous ass proven that you can't do that, either, auntie amerika, you've proven yourself unable to find any evidence to substantiate your psychotic slop no matter what ya do, little factually-challenged filly.

"Cool. So far you have proven you can google the Congressional Record, run an idiot-proof record search and then cut and paste it into the BFP blog."

And so far you've proven yourself as unable to surmount that hurdle as you and your coalition of the clueless comrades have every other factual obstacle you've faced, little filly.

Uncool.

Of course, I've got factual information worth from the Congressional Record. You've got town hall trash and meshuggah michelle malkin malarkey.

Big difference.

"Nothing new. Nothing a 3rd grader can't do."

Well, the facts are timeless, little filly. You, on the other hand, are stuck postin' the same delusional dreck with no basis in fact.

Again, big difference.

As for third graders, perhaps you can find one to help ya, little filly. Clearly, your ignorant, anonymous ass is lost on its own.

"No original thought as usual. More of the same...cut and paste, throw around some insults and then cut and paste some more."

Original thought, eh? That's a good one, auntie amerika.

In other words, you've got nothing to substantiate your specious slop. I'm shocked.

It's a sure bet that every time your ignorant anonymous ass starts tossin' around empty phrases like "original thought", you've got bupkis.

Like your ignorant-trash brothers in bupkis, little filly, your next thought will be your first.

"Are you sure your thumbs are opposable?"

Every bit as sure as I am that yours aren't, little factually-challenged/got-bupkis filly.

"Unrelated but, a court martial on Wednesday acquitted a US Marine for his role in the deaths of 24 civilians in Haditha in Iraq in 2005, the sixth man to be exonerated in the affair, a military official said.
Lieutenant Andrew Grayson, 27, was declared "not guilty on all charges" by a jury, said a spokesman for the Camp Pendleton military base in southern California where the hearing started on May 28."

First of all, all your ignorant slop is unrelated to reality, little factually-challenged filly.

Secondly, did that bring the 24 unarmed civilians back to life, auntie amerika?

Did that resurrect the 70 year-old amputee in the Wheelchair holdin' a Koran or the one year-old baby.

Is your ignorant, ill-informed, anonymous ass gonna tell me the one year-old was the mastermind behind the attack now, little treasonous-trash filly?

"Anybody think John Murtha will be apologizing for all the bad things he said about this guy?"

Why would Murtha owe 'em an apology, little factually-challenged filly? He didn't put 'em there, Shrub, Cheney and the chickenhawks did. Murtha didn't get upwards of 50K US Troops killed or maimed for nothing in Iraq, Shrub and his ignorant trash supporters did.

Murtha doesn't owe him an apology. Shrub, Cheney and the ignorant-trash likes of you do, little factually-challenged filly.

You're the scum that put 'em in that position.

...now back to the thread already in progress.

Dismissed.

If anyone has a legitimate complaint about overt media censorship and bias, it would be Ron Paul. But apparently all "mainstream" media is in lockstep with their fascist media controllers.
Don't worry your little head about it though. As long as both factions of the Fascist Party TELL you that you are participating in a "Democracy", you can go to sleep at night feeling good about yourself.
