Did you know if you like a Republican you will be tested?

video

I read, hear and listen to the complaints that Fox News is biased. After watching that video above what do you think about MSNBC and Nora O'Donnell? Those people were just standing in line wanting to get a book about SARAH PALIN and they were grilled to defend their reasons for liking her. They were asked to DEFEND why they believed in her and she even had a handy dandy quote ready for that poor young girl. I don't care if she was 13 or 17, she was no match for a seasoned (that is polite way of calling Nora Old) reporter. The gentleman did a better job.

Even Nora's commentary and that is what it was at the end, a commentary, was in appropriate about Sarah's followers. Stating these people have a connection even though they can't be specific about HER issues is wrong. She can't state that with any certainty. Her research is anecdotal at best.

I guess I must have missed the Media examining Obama followers making sure their connection to him was all about the issues and please let's make sure they grill those teenagers because the non-voters are so important.

But, more important standing there with note cards and direct quotes against a teenager, well, that is just an ambush.

Anyways, I am glad we believe we have ONLY ONE STATION THAT IS BIASED, OH YOU KNOW THE STATION THE PRESIDENT SAID AMERICANS SHOULD NOT WATCH. HM., MAKES YOU WONDER????

Is President Obama Paying the Media?

The media love affair is becoming annoying. They truly are crossing lines.
I guess as I listen to the lines being crossed I just ask, "Who is paying them to throw their ethics of journalism out the window?" The reporters no longer report the news. They commentate only. It is inappropriate. They should be fired.
A commentator tonight said to Katie Couric that ALL American people are behind President Obama and he does not have to worry about their support. He just needs to convince Congress. Katie Couric said, "Is this the first time in history that has happened? Is the the first time in history that the President will really be speaking to Congress and not the American people?
Again she says, "Since, he does not need to worry about their support then the President just needs to work on Congress." Wow, way to question your commentator Katie. Way to ask your commentator how he knows ALL the American people are behind the President. Way to ask the commentator why the stock market continues to drop and investors aren't investing, aren't they considered Americans? Oh, that's right, Katie isn't about to ask hard questions about President Obama. Her job is to keep saying over and over he is making history. Everything is a first for Obama. Maybe her question should be "When will the American people be able to see Obama walk on water.?"
President Obama has an entire Media at his side just waiting to tout anything he needs to sell.
I have no idea what America our Media is reporting about but the people I speak to are scared. They are not so sure about his economic recovery. I'm not saying they are against him but they are not all gung- ho like the media portrays.
And the stock market says a lot in this country. Investors are not investing in the bailout. They are not trusting our politicians.
Therefore, I ask, has President Obama paid the media to spin a pretty picture? Claiming Americans need to hear hope . And the media went, "Whatever we can do to help you make history!!! "

Oh, and here is the tag line for the next eight years (let's face it the media will see to it that he sticks around) President Obama is making history.....


I don't know about some of you but I am ready to throw up.

They even excuse his mistakes. Obama was suppose to wait to be announced by the Speaker and he didn't. Bush would have been called stupid. They would have said he should have known protocol.
Katie said, "It is his first time and he just not familiar with all the protocol." And then she giggled. Hey, Katie, he should have been briefed by his staff on protocol. But, I know, it's Obama. MAKING HISTORY!!!

You know what else is making history, the ending of journalism. We need some muckrakers again. But, the mainstream media would have them squelched for sure.
I apologize for such a passionate post.
