Which Candidate Do You Think "The Media" Wants To Win?

[THUNDER HANDS]

Poll question: Which Candidate Do You Think "The Media" Wants To Win?

I mean, I can make good cases for the media wanting both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to win.


Hillary and Bill are a publisher's dream. They attract as much attention as anyone in politics. They're good for ratings, newspaper sales, internet hits, ect. People like reading about, watching, discussion all things Clinton. They may not all like them, but they generate interest, and in the world of the media, interest = money.

Obama is the new fresh face, and people are always looking for the 'next big thing.' So a case could be made that the media is looking for a different narrative, something they haven't seen before. Obama fits that bill in a lot of different ways. Plus, he's a pretty good looking guy. And good looking people = ratings, and ratings = money.

So who do you think "the media" is rooting for?

6. Neither one!

They want to run against either one of these, but the last thing they want is for one of them to win, and I think they're pretty sure they won't. Why do you think they've been shoving them both down our throats for so long now.

They want the pugs to win, because they know they'll have more profits with pugs in control. This is silly, the only candidate that the corporate media dose not want is John Edwards. The real question you have to ask yourself is, Why?

8. Don't be fooled by the daily attacks on Clinton

They serve two purposes, one is to set up their frames for the general election and the other is to subtly encourage Democrats to vote for her as a response to the medias "meaness."

I'm not even entirely sure that the media wants her to lose in the General Election. I have a feeling that they will do the same "unstoppable" schtick that they've done with her in the primary. Unless of course their other media darling McCain is the GOP nominee.
