Reply #22: And one doesn't ask why the republican MSM is praising Obama...The same media

[GreenTea]

that's trashed every Democrat from Carter to Clinton to Gore to Kerry to Edwards & Hillary and we're the stupid ones who don't believe it's because the republican owned corporate media just loves this particular Democrat, Obama?

Get fucking real! Who's the simplistic stupid ones who just can't get enough television coverage of their boy, these people are eating it up and NEVER asking why? ...un-fucking believable!

It's ironic (not to say bizarre) that Barack Obama strikes so many people as
"progressive." First of all, because he's simply not progressive; and, secondly,
because the press has so far treated him much as it treated Ronald Reagan
back in 1980 (and, by and large, forever after): i.e., apolitically, uncritically,
with lots of emphasis on his success as a "communicator" and almost nothing
on his actual positions, or the interests back of him.

If the media knocked off the Reagan treatment of Obama, more of us might
have a clearer sense of where he's really coming from. That he (too) belongs to
Wall Street, and is in the pocket of a nuclear power company called Exelon
(and lies about it), and has named Zbigniew Brzezinski as his top foreign policy
adviser, and stumped for Lieberman, are just a few examples of his true character,
politically speaking. If this sort of thing got proper coverage, we would all be
better off.

It is, of course, a great thing that Obama has inspired so many people to get into
politics. Those people should, however, know exactly who it is they're fighting
for, and what "change" he is likely to create.
