Has anyone seen any coverage of Wright in the M$M Today?

[Johnny__Motown]

I didn't work today and spent a good chunk of the day with the tube tuned to MSNBC and/or CNN.


I saw plenty of stories on the economy. Some on McCain and Cheney in Iraq. CNN covered the damage to their building in Atlanta. Some guy in CO in a wheelchair claimed he had a detonator attached to his oxygen tank. Hillary had an event where she talked about Iraq and the Economy. A 6th body was found in the NY crane disaster. Heather Mills and Paul McCartney settled their divorce today. MSNBC has a new line up of shows starting tonight.

EDIT... I forgot about Paterson being sworn in today.. and the call girl story follow up


Rev. Wright.... didn't see or hear a word about him today.




So..... Blip?

[slinkerwink]

1. I didn't see anything on CNN

[TwilightGardener]

2. I find it hard to believe anyone cares, except Fox/Limbaugh/Hannity, and of course, their

faithful listeners, the GOP and Hillary supporters.

[Johnny__Motown]

6. I agree, but 36 hours ago the talk here was as if Obama was destroyed by this story.

trying to make a point

[Mags]

13. It was on MSNBC early this morning.

[CTyankee]

21. GMA led with Wright (again) this morning. All about how many emails they had received

after Friday's story. And they ran the "god damn america" clip again and had on Donna Brazile and Juan Williams to "discuss" it.

I'll be watching Tweety and Wolfie tonight.

Stay tuned...

[ecstatic]

3. not on MSNBC. Off today, flipping back and forth from Leprechaun

on sci fi and MSNBC.

[CoffeeCat]

4. Obama's polls are up, and her polls are down...

...and nothing has been mentioned.

I was freaking out over a few of Obama's past dust ups, but I
felt very calm about this one.

It's just not going to stick.

[leftofcool]

5. It was on early this morning on CNN and MSNBC

[Johnny__Motown]

8. Thanks , I missed that.... maybe still sleeping. I assume the NYSE had not opened by then

[anigbrowl]

7. The economy is the big news today

and about time too. (I'm a bit of a finance/economics geek in my spare time).

[Why Syzygy]

9. Maybe some of them figured out

that the reporting was a racist undertaking in and of itself. The ones crying loudest are more racist than Wright ever conceived of.

SEAN CASEY, BARACK OBAMA'S ADVISER: It's interesting to me. You haven't vetted Hillary Clinton's pastor's sermons. It seems to me what you're trying to do is what some of the media tried to do to John Kennedy in 1960. That because he was a Catholic, he must embrace certain political views the Catholic Church held.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

That's Obama adviser Sean Casey. And it's nonsense. That's just BS.
Now I don't believe Senator Obama agrees with his pastor, but he again needs to explain the situation himself, not that pinhead. Again, I wouldn't sit in a church where a pastor said that. Would you? Why does Senator Obama? That's a simple question.

On the press front, the corrupt left-wing media hates this story. The Chicago Sun-Times ignored it completely. New York Times barely mentioned it. CBS and NBC News didn't report it last night on their nightly programs. ABC News had all the tape, but ran very little of it. CNN pretty much ignored it, except for Anderson Cooper.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANDERSON COOPER: All this seems to have nothing to do with actual issues that the country is facing, which these candidates should be talking about and we probably should be talking about. So on the one hand, I mean, people are talking about it. It's clearly an issue that's building up in the campaign trail, so we end up covering it. But at the same time, it does feel just completely off track.

10. surprising the impending total collapse of the economy

got the MSM's attention, apparently alot bet big on Bear Sterns and lost their shirts. So if you see alot of reporters without shirts, you have your answer

[Johnny__Motown]

17. Honestly it looks like they are all sugar coating it.

Nobody wants a panic




Just consider what would happen if oil started being traded in Euros instead of Dollars.

Holy crap the dollar would dive and oil for us would skyrocket. 110 a barrel would be a fond memory at that point.

[zbdent]

11. actually, I'm kinda glad that the dustup about Obama has been overshadowed

by the corporate welfare story ...

It needs to be shouted that the Repukes were more than happy to shovel $$$ at the wealthy ... the very same $$$ that they say is not there for minimal health coverage for kids ...

[Mooney]

12. We haven't heard the end of it

but I think the prognoses that Obama's campaign is over because of this were more the result of irrational exuberance from some quarters as opposed to sober and objective assessments of the situation.

To translate: there may be some people who WANT this to end Obama's campaign, and you should take them with a grain of salt. We won't really see the impact of this thing until mid-week at least.

14. It doesn't need to be covered anymore, the damage has been done. n/t

[kerry-is-my-prez]

15. They're talking about the Wright story right now on CNN...

n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

20. Thanks, I switched over.. Heather Mills was on MSNBC...

[ebdarcy]

16. Not on MSNBC.

I watched it for about two hours earlier today. I saw stories about the economy, McCain, the McCartney divorce, pledged delegates, NY's new governor, and the crane tragedy.

I did flip to CNN a couple of times, but they were talking about the economy when I flipped. Maybe I just missed it.

Hopefully, the story's done now.

[MonkeyFunk]

18. It was discussed on Morning Joe today

[ebdarcy]

24. That's a little too early for me. I was still sleeping.

[slinkerwink]

19. CNN's talking about it now

[tandem5]

22. This is a mere foreshock...

this is not a primary election smear - It was introduced with the idea that he would be the nominee. Look for it to always be in the background during the general election.

[chknltl]

23. Go Figure....

A friend of mine suggested that the pendulum swing of hit pieces has returned to Senator Clinton. If she is correct, the repukes will hit her next and Senator Obama will get the blame. In the meanwhile, I have enjoyed some of the coverage regarding the tornadoes and such. It would be better if we had news from Iraq...well REAL news that is. (On the other hand, that is why we have the internet and progressive radio).

[goclark]

25. It was on Morning Joe

and Joe, who thinks he will rise next Sunday Scarsborough, was happy to say that Obama and Hillary were causing others to vote for McCain.

He was so happy!

[redqueen]

26. It was on this morning...

:shrug:

[jillan]

27. In print, it's a whole different story

10 pages of news stories in the last 24 hours.

[Johnny__Motown]

31. Print tends to run a day behind the actual news cycle

[jackson_dem]

28. Thankfully Obama will bring it back to the fore with his race speech tomorrow

:rofl: They will have to mention the reason for the speech.

[juajen]

29. It's been on CNN for the past ten minutes or so. I have not

been watching all day.

[Johnny__Motown]

30. MSNBC doing a story on Blogs.. and Daily Kos is among them....
