The media is afraid...

[butterfly77]

as I have watched the campaigns over the past few months I have watched how the media has pretended to be fair and balanced on all stations. As I have watched them knock out certain candidates trying to pick our candidates for us I have become angrier and angrier. All of them hate Hillary so they did their best to knock her out of the running but they got more than they bargained for, they never in their wildest dreams thought that Obama would be one of the front runners.

As I watched the media for the past few months they were smiling with glee as they talked Hillary down but now their faces are beginning to look solemn and fill with terror that Obama may be the nominee. I have become especially angry at the way they have put up banners at the bottom of the screen to portray obama as what they want their racists audience to think (CNN),Fox and MSNBC with their Osama picture. They now are very afraid because McCain is having problems and they now want to attack Obama on the issues when they said nothing in the beginning. I believe that both are good candidates but I can see from watching them they are really,really afraid of change.


I have been watching all of the dirty tricks that have been played by some of the spokespersons for Hillary and I do not believe that she would condone some of these tactics but it is getting harder and harder not to believe that some of the people around her are so desperate that they will do anything to win. I have heard about a group of 527's who are planning to attack Obama, I have seen the guy at speaking about Obama supporters as latte drinkers etc,etc...and in my book this is some of the rightwing that is in her group who are really racists and really think that a black man should not be president. I really do think that Hillary does have more experience than Obama in certain areas but as I have been watching I find myself more and more on the Obama side, and as I watch them speak Michelle has motivated me more than Obama himself. I would love to see her go against Cindy McCain in a debate. I am now a Obama supporter.. But,I feel sorry for Hillary.

1. Afraid...

Very gentlemanly of you, but you are naive to think that Hillary isn't the ultimate source of everything that happens in her campaign. She is nothing if not a micromanager. I feel a bit more sorry for the 600,000 innocent people she was willing to sacrifice to her ambitions.

And if the media have taken a turn against Hillary of late, let's not forget how they endlessly trumpeted her as the inevitable nominee for years before that. She has no reason to feel badly used by the press.

I really don't see the fear you are seeing. Seems to me the media have been delighted to have a new, dramatic story to push re Obama.
