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.
