More media shilling for Obama......

Ok, this is getting downright ridiculous. Here we have MSNBC "reporters" actively campaigning for Obama. They are taking about Obama's speech, where he was fear mongering about those evil McCain people and the things they might say about his skin color. McCain's campaign shot back and said it was too bad Obama had to pull the race card and that they have never attacked Obama for his race and never would.

Well, the Obama media has been in full damage control mode. They are actually spinning this so that Obama never mentioned race and it was actually McCain who brought up the race card. I kid you not. If this doesn't prove that the media is practically working for Obama, than I don't know what will.

ANDREA MITCHELL: I have to tell you that the people who heard Barack Obama say what he said Wednesday night—and it's very similar to things he's said in Paris and Berlin and a lot of other stops—it's very self-deprecating. He says "I don't look like other people who have been President of the United States," most people who watched that, I don't know very many people who've watched that, and the people in the audience, the reporters, have never interpreted it, have never inferred from that, that he is making some kind of racial statement, but that's the way the McCain camp says that they took it, and Rick Davis by putting it out there, sure --

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Andrea, excuse me for a minute. How can it be self-deprecating when he says, when Barack Obama says, that John McCain's camp is going to say "I look different"? Or when he says they're going to try to scare you because I'm black. How is that--because I've heard "self-deprecating" a couple times--how in the hell is that self-deprecating?

TIKI BARBER: This is Tiki, Andrea. Does he have a point, does he have an argument: Rick Davis?

MITCHELL: Well, it's all in the eye of the beholder, Tiki. I gotta tell you that most people covering, the people covering the campaign certainly didn't see it that way. And the Obama people deny it strongly. The McCain people feel just as strongly. John McCain reaffirmed personally that he agrees with Rick Davis.

/\ /\ /\
Thats because the people covering the campaign are also part of his campaign.


You can see more evidence that Andrea Mitchel in particular, is in the tank for Obama in this video. Yet, she plays it off like shes being objective.

So when Fox News reports a negative light on Obama, you don't complain?


Conservative double standard.

I should get a tee shirt that says that


its the media, man. If you let them, they'll get to ya.

I think its hilarious - that you even take them seriously.

Well, without fox there would be no opposition to Obama in the media. Are you saying that because Fox doesn't lick Obama's balls that MSNBC has every right to actively campaign for Obama? Who said I take Fox seriously anyway?

I'll assume you have nothing to say in relation to the subject of the thread?

So when fox news seems to have a lean to the right, it's abyssmal and it should be shut down...

When MSNBC leans to the left...conservatives should just shut the hell up because fox news leans to the right. Is that what I'm understanding your opinion to be?

Guess that's a liberal double standard. We got double standards growing on trees around here.

Mika Brzezinski's father is Zbigniew Brzezinski, who is an foriegn policy adviser to Obama, so how is this suprising that on her show they blow bubbles up Obamas butt?

the press is disgusting. they are disgusting every election but even more so then normal this election. honestly everytime i turn on the news and they are preaching about the "annointed one" it makes me hate obama more and more.

The craziest thing about all of this is that its Obama who is trying to make all his supporters suspicious of McCain and by extension, white people. In a way, he doing the exact same thing his mentor did for 20 years. Obama is the one who is actually fanning racist tensions here.

Fox news was kissing neocon ass since Bush got voted in and it became "cool" be a Bushie. They helped mislead the public with the Iraq war and seem to be continuing so over Iran. You cant compare any other news station to fox news.

It's just another attempt to displace blame and turn the tables for Obama's race baiting. This now the third time Obama has race baited the McCain campaign, and each time the McCain campaign didn't bite.

Andrea got her azz handed to her by McCain's lead campaign advisor. She isn't very intelligent, but trys to sound like it.

The race right now is locked in dead-even. Without "blogsphere" more people would be falling for Obama's BS, but luckily, many are learning the truth on the web. The MSM can't sensor the web, only their little corners of it.

Keep it up bloggers, Obama is losing his "Fight the Smears" campaign. It should be called "Detract from Truth".

Either way, not Hollywood, Investment bankers or the energy companies can squelch the truth outside the MSM.

The only race baiting I have seen around here have come from righties claiming his a muslim, that his some pan-african extremest and the fact his biracial. There were even a number of republicans who stated in public that their simply to ready for a black president.

Just because McCain doesnt say it doesnt mean its not happening. But you just prefer to turn the other eye from the racial issues coming from the GOP. Very one sided, why dont you keep an open mind huh? Rightie isnt always right.

This now the third time Obama has race baited the McCain campaign, and each time the McCain campaign didn't bite.

There have been numerous times where GOPers played the race card, no wonder this nation is in this state, we have people here putting their whole lives into what one party says and refuses to look at the whole picture. What hell should Obama do? Shut up while these lies over his religious and ancestry gets fed to the american public? Nah I dont think its that simple.

McCain my friend is the biggest joke of em all, he gave his soul to the neocons and now his trying fear mongering tactics, the same ones that lead this nation into the Iraq war, but you obviously cant see that, it the case of denial. Do I think Obamas perfect? No I dont but im smart enough to know his not the one giving his soul to the neocons and Bush will not be getting away under his presidency. Whats BS is this denial coming from some conservatives over what happened the last 8years and whats going on right now between the McCain camp and the Neo-con oilmen. Fox news cant sensor what happend over the last 8years and what will happen under a McCain presidency. You damn straight the web cant be controlled.

Keep it up bloggers, Obama is losing his "Fight the Smears" campaign. It should be called "Detract from Truth".

Keep it up righties, you've done this country a service over the last 8years, while Osama runs free protected by the neo-cons and the distraction over Iraq, americans over here will continue to eat up what lies the neo-con machine will spit out.

Either way, not Hollywood, Investment bankers or the energy companies can squelch the truth outside the MSM.

Yet fox news, the GOP and Bush.co are so innocent, damn that MSM news network, their such liars. You continue telling yourself that Jetty. Just continue to eat what the Neocons feed ya.

Are you saying that everything has to have an opposing view?

What if everyone in the media actually likes Obama?

You gonna take your ball and go home?

I just love how you guys rationalize when its in your interest to. You're seriously arguing that we should have a monolithic point of view and a media in the tank for a president is a good idea. You are really starting to show your true colors.

If its so prevalent, than show us some links. Even if some fringe people are doing that, why does it matter to McCain? You guys keep telling us that associations don't matter, than when some look picks on Obama you attribute it to McCain. Bit of a double standard there.

There have been numerous times where GOPers played the race card, no wonder this nation is in this state, we have people here putting their whole lives into what one party says and refuses to look at the whole picture.

Show me where a Republican presidential candidate played the race card.

Lies fed to the American public about his religion? What the hell are you talking about? Who is doing this and where is it?

I didn't see anyone here give a damn when Romney was being attacked for his religion in the media. Oh of course not, because HES A REPUBLICAN!

McCain my friend is the biggest joke of em all, he gave his soul to the neocons and now his trying fear mongering tactics,

Yes, unlike the Obama and his fear mongering about evil white people who hate him for his name and skin color. Hypocrisy hoooooo!

the same ones that lead this nation into the Iraq war, but you obviously cant see that, it the case of denial.

-Democrats never voted for the war
-Democrats never rattled sabers
-It was all Republicans

These are all common lies told by people who are either ignorant to the facts or are outright lying.

Yet fox news, the GOP and Bush.co are so innocent, damn that MSM news network, their such liars. You continue telling yourself that Jetty. Just continue to eat what the Neocons feed ya.

You guys whine a lot about one single network. You have a dozen networks, all the major print media and most of the internet.

Keep eating up the lies the Socialist, communist, Marxists liberals are telling ya!
