Liberal Group: Media Hearts McCain, not Obama

The media has given john mccain a free ride so why does he whine he should be happy the media doesnt report all of his gaffes as well as his voting records instead of complaning about the media he should be thanking them well wheres the so called liberal media????

The press covers for McCain. CBS edited his interview to make it make sense. How many other times has the press done something like that? McCain is frequently making foolish statements about which country does or does not exist, which countries share a border, which group is sponsoring terrorists, etc. yet you’ll be hard pressed to find those comments in the press.
Obama is more exciting so he gets more press time. Press is an entertainment business after all. On the other hand, the press projects a better vision of McCain than he is providing.

Sure they like McCain. That’s the reason all the news anchors went with BHO on his phony trip. Pretty simple!

this guy just changed his position on withdrawal……he was giving Obama and Hillary hell when they were proposing this in the primary……..seems very biased…..Obama is no media darling….they flock around him so everyone is present when he gaffes

McCain is lucky they don’t cover him more…if they did …every day would be a cleanup of his message and gaffes.
Mccain could not take all the attention with all the scrutiny…
and that is the truth…and repubs know it.

Take a look at the ABC politics page. Most of Obama`s coverage is negative. Most of them he`s been attacked by McCain who has no plan on his own.

Harry can you name those bands that spoke? I want to check them out they have to be up there with the Stones or the Beatles to draw that many people.

McCain should be thankful for the lack of attention considering his horrendous voting record on veterans’ support legislation. How dare he claim to be the candidate of veterans when he systematically voted against every piece of legislation meant to improve the benefits for veterans?!

The media for far too long has been giving McCain a free pass!
Just as an example, none of the major networks discredited McCain’s “Obama doesn’t support the troops” ad. That ad was the biggest bunch of crap that the McCain camp has put out so far. It’s riddled with lies, and the media just doesn’t even make the effort to challenge it.
Everything Obama says and does is parsed beyond belief. And in the meanwhile McCain is making unreported gaffe after unreported gaffe.

I think the media SHOULD give McCain the coverage he is asking for, fair, honest and to the point of every word he says, every hour on the hour, 7 days a week. I will give McCain one week and Obama will have this thing wrapped up.

I’m black, I was a community organizer and I’m not Bush. Elect me.

All major media venues are controlled by big corporations. Is there any doubt that they covered the lies by Bushco? Corporate greed is the base of our economy meltdown. The time to take the government back is now.
McCain the pseudo hero is going to continue the eight years of helI we are going through—7 years of war, 4660 dead young Americans and rising, 9 trillion $$$ of debt and rising, and still no bin Laden in sight. Obama the pseudo changer is going to sacrifice his principles just to get elected—he’s moving to the right as we speak. No more two-party democracy mockery. We need a true third party that belongs to the people, NOT big corporations. It’s time to take back the government – vote for someone who’s not afraid of taking a stand on OUR behalf, and is not into big corporate interests like the other two.

I and many other even handed people, has been aware of the negative slant given to the coverage of Obama, 72% Negative. The MSM blew it’s responsibility when it came to giving the American people when reporting on the lead up to the Iraq war. The MSM has a journalistic ethics code, to give fair an unbiased news, the reporting of truths & facts has been truly lacking in
this Presidential Campaign. Given all these Obstacles, My ticket is allready punched for the Obama’s train. Obama lays out a very intelligent and doable plan to resuscitate the middle class, by saving people through renegotiation of mortgage contracts that allow people to refinance affordable rates. McCain only attacks Obama, he has called him many derogatory names, however President Bush,Republican Presumed Nominee John McCain, Iraqi PM Maliki, Afghanistan President, All the major Israeli leaders, every European leader that was visited in recent trip, supported Obama’s Foreign Policy Strategy. What are McCains plan, to clarify I mean McCain 2000 or 2008?

Obama is under scrutiny every move he makes- often in a negative way. McCain has, for some unknown reason, been given a get out of jail for free card. Don’t dare say the media is liberal. That McCain gets away with some of the mud he’s thrown, while the people are not told how often he’s voted against anything that benefits the welfare of the troops, is beyond me, except for the fact that the media assumes the public won’t dig for the truth themselves and that simple, thirty-second soundbites can sway their judgement in favor of staying whatever course they’ve been instructed to present. Unfortunately, the media might be right and as a result, lies, misrepresentations and deceit skew peoples’ judgement. The mud this man throws will probably stick. This is the same media that let the current administration get away with what’s been done since 2000 when a little bit of oversight and integrity could have saved Americans from all the misery they face today. Dig! Investigate! Report! The media doesn’t do any of this, but a few years later, when people begin to waken, it will produce finely-crafted little specials about whether they should feel guilty about their failing in the job of informing the people. McCain would not stand under scrutiny; the media knows this and does nothing. In an environment where lies and deceit thrive, and the media refrains from doing its job, there is no democracy.

WOW. Half of those comments (when heard within the context that they were originally said) are actually NEGATIVE comments. It’s a SPIN TACTIC, and every political campaign is guilty of using spin tactics to twist stories about their opposition–EVERY ONE.
So what can we all learn from this?? Do your research and don’t be duped into believing everything you hear.

Why don’t people see the games that Obama and his goons are playing. Every time someone points out a fault in Obama, they(the Obama goons) turn around and say the same thing about McCain, even if it is a blatant lie. So stupid!
I will never vote for Obama the arrogant!

About a month ago a poll was posted on the net and TV that Obama has received more favorable press to the tune of 72% to 24% over McCain. When did the MSM change????? My guess, it is the latest comments are just more hype put out by the Obama campaign. They are whining again.

Art, Obama might make some small gaffs like saying there are 57 states but at least he knows the correct timeline for the surge in iraq. or for that matter even what a surge is because McCain clearly has no idea because he is now trying to say the the “surge” or increse of troops actually started 6 months before the tatic of the surge was even considered.

What an idiotic arguement.
Without a doubt, the mainstream media is gushing all over Obama and proclaiming him king. They can’t wait for the coronation.
Their massive coverage of a mediocre trip by a mediocre candidate is something to behold

The press loves Obama! The world loves Obama! American patriots….not so much.

Obama: Never a detail he can be tied to!

Except for Obama’s “boneheaded mistakes”

This study is absolute gibberish but if the lib talking heads keep saying it long enough, they hope people will believe them. How about the USA Today/Gallup poll that came out today showing 39% of people believe the coverage of Obama is unfairly biased towards him, whereas 12% think the bias in favor of McCain. The American people are not fooled.

Why are Republicans afraid of being seen with President Bush. McCain allows the President raise millions of Dollars in Campaign funds for him, however he complains & disparges him at every turn. If he disagreed with so much of the Bush’s policies and doctrine, How come he is not appalled to take Bush’s funds. Lack of ethics, I guess. There are a substantial number of Republicans stating that the will not attend the GOP convention. As reported by many sources, McCain does not have the temperament or judgement to be POTUS.
Years of expierience, maybe. It’s like the woman with 4 ex-husbands. Lots of expierience but no Judgement.

presbo12009,
That’s not the real dl. It’s an imposter.

George–yeah, a lot of people say “creepy” is the word for McDuck, and what’s weirder is that he either won’t admit it or no one will tell him. It’s horror-movie stuff, and it’s getting more chilling the angrier he gets. All Obama’s got to do is make him really mad, and there’s something… CHILDREN, FLEE! about it. You can’t say this on some blogs, though, I’ve noticed, even though it is a shared obversation of many of us.
Obama 08!

come on…the media ‘shies away’ from McCain and his many gaffes, or in the cbs case ‘change his answers’! Its like they know he’s feeble and are reluctant to point it out…Many outlets just ignor him because he’s as exciting as watching paint dry.

What a joke! Millions of people have protested the blatant media bias of CNN and MSNBC for Obama, especially in the Primary. Now that the opponent is McCain, they know how many more people are scrutinizing their reporting. Of course, they have lost a lot of viewers because of their bias. Splice the stories any way you choose. To say the MSM is not still pushing for Obama to be the next President is a joke. Wasn’t that a great rock star tour many of them took with him to Europe? We could have done with a little less coverage of his attempt to be a John Kennedy. It took the McCain campaign to effectively point out that he somehow could not visit the wounded in Germany.
It is a little more difficult for the press to make McCain look stupid. He is a man with credentials and experience, and he is a man! One has real substance, the other is totally lacking.

I keep hearing people say Obama gets more press. This is true. However, more press doesn’t equally better press. Obama getting more press, also means he gets more negative press. The media is in the business of making money, not picking presidents. Obama’s the more exciting candidate. Even people voting against him wants to see him cause they think he’ll make “mistakes”. I think the media is actually hurting, which couls also desribe why he’s not pulling away in the polls.

Blobama is for sure one dumb ass negro
