Wright called out the media - they will not forgive him

[GoldieAZ49]

The will run it over and over, follow him and air every public appearance and they can only make it relevant by tying him to Obama, which Obama did himself in his "Race Speech".

Political Rhetoric is not well received, particularly by the new politician on the seen that no one really knew about. The 'blank screen' is being filled in by the media because Obama wanted it to stay blank to appeal to a wide audience.


I work in the print media, there is an old saying 'don't piss off someone that buys ink by the barrel' (ie: Newspapers).

Wright has done just that with all forms of media and with his views he is an easy target for them, face it, this is not for mainstream America.


I have been watching different news stations off and on all day, there have been several black ministers saying Wright does not speak for the black churches of America.


The super delegates, as well as most of us, are watching the coverage and the commercials using Obama and Wright against dem candidates in NC and MS now.

A Historical Election indeed. A nightmare.

1. Yes, let's give all the glory and the honor to the almighty media!

One nation under MSM. In MSM we trust. MSM, how great Thou art!

[GoldieAZ49]

3. You prefer a country without media? Or maybe one run by the government.

That sounds like a great idea......NOT

a free country requires a free press like it or not.

I take it you don't care for free speech either. Glad you are not in charge.

[cliffordu]

6. You might want to read the stories about the retired generals

who were paid to help sell the Iraq war.......

Your ignorance about the corporate media/government interface is very telling.

And Hillary is still a second rate talent.

[GoldieAZ49]

9. Yes, and Obama is talentless

shame this didn't happen in January

[cliffordu]

13. We'll see, Goldie, we'll see.

[GoldieAZ49]

16. A good pic of Obama followers today

you wear it well

[JoFerret]

35. Goldie

It's easy to want to pay "them" back but don't go there.
This is not a good situation - the one with Wright I mean.

[parasim]

8. Of course, my comment was tongue-in-cheek...

but, no, of course we need a media. I would prefer a media that acted responsibly. Not one that only goes for ratings and not one that has an obvious agenda. Of course I care for free speech. Speech bought and paid for by politicians and corporations is not free, in my opinion.

[GoldieAZ49]

12. Real journalism is rare, 24/7 cable news is hard to fill

and it leads to the National Enquirer style of reporting

However it is what we have and as hard to believe as it is a large segment of America still does not use the internet at all

[parasim]

20. Right, and as someone in print media you understand the power of the advertisers.

I get it. I just have a tiny bit of hope that we can get that behind us and get back to when public opinion was reported without an eye on how much money is to be made from sensationalism.

Sure, I might be a tad too optimistic, but all I've got is to rail against the f'd up system we have and hope that that large segment of America starts to get with it and sees the media for what it is. I refuse to give in to Big Media.

[Mezzo]

21. it just seems like someone ELSE is always to blame for Obama's flaws.

[parasim]

26. I'll be the first to admit that Obama has flaws.

What politician doesn't have flaws? And I'm not blaming others for his missteps. However, the media's fetish with Rev. Wright is not a flaw of Obama. It it simply a means for them to gain viewers. That's my view. That was my point.

Sure, Obama has to start playing the game to win, I suppose. all I know is that Obama is the only candidate in this race that appeals to me and gives my the hope that there actually could be some major changes in the fucked up world of politics in this country. As far as I am concerned, we need change and I don't see Hillary bringing that kind of change and certainly not McCain.

[indimuse]

38. mostly...Hillary!

[GoldieAZ49]

23. I certainly recognize the slick Marketing & Advertising campaign Obama used

one of the best ever in politics.

Cannot withstand Wright, but very good none the less.

[parasim]

27. Ok, so you think that Clinton will do it, right?

Since you don't think Obama will pull it off because of Wright, what attributes of her campaign will bring her over the top do you think? Will it be better Marketing and Advertising? or something else?

[GoldieAZ49]

28. The Super Delegates will vote for her and she will be the nominee

Can she win against McCain, toss up

[parasim]

30. So, are you happy about that?

Assuming Obama gets the majority of the popular vote and delegates, are you happy that she would win because the supers picked her, despite going against the voters? Is that really what you want to happen? Is it simply because you think she can do better than Obama against McCain?

Also, If Obama gets the nod, will you support him?

[JoFerret]

36. Hillary will make a fine president

.

[JoFerret]

34. That is NOT what the OP said

take your anger and upset elsewhere.

[David Dunham]

2. Obama should more forcefully distance himself from Wright

[GoldieAZ49]

5. That is going to be difficult to do now.

He has painted himself into a corner. No one is going to believe him anymore, the time for that has come and gone.

[cliffordu]

10. Not really. If anything you were saying were true he'd be down to

20% approval....

He still leads hill in approval;......


Hillary is no bill clinton.

Lately he isn't either.

so sad.

[rgbecker]

17. Please tell us what Wright said that offends you so much?

[GoldieAZ49]

24. Obama offended me, read my journal entry, I saved the post I made.

In mid March when the Wright story broke, I knew then that we were screwed and all the other candidates had already dropped out.

[cliffordu]

4. All hail FOX, All hail MSNBC!!!! Only truth through them!!!

AS soon as they get bored with this, they'll be shafting the Goddess of Beast again.
You know, that second stringer you support beyond all reasonable justification.....

[GoldieAZ49]

7. They put everyone under a microscope, few can withstand it

That is their job.

What I don't like is that it wasn't done in January when we still had a choice, Biden, Edwards...you know, and ELECTABLE candidate.

Obama hiding Wright, and the media not covering it when they knew full well, now that was a disservice to the country in general and the party in particular.

[cliffordu]

11. God, Goldie, this is all about chaos, and low hanging fruit.

Obama never hid Wright. His stuff has been on youtube for a lot longer than Obama has been in the race....

Stop the attempts to rewrite history.

Hillary will never be Bill. That ship has sailed.

She is a second rate talent.

And you know it. It oozes through your posts slandering Obama.

[GoldieAZ49]

15. BS that is why he uninvited him from the launch of his campaign nt

[cliffordu]

18. Your candidate cannot win. Forget it.

The Princess of Peace is NOT a viable candidate at all. See Columbia "speaking fees" and the Chinese connection.

Tuzla.

If Wright is all you got, you are whistling past the political graveyard. Sorry.

[GoldieAZ49]

25. 2008 election, Forget it.

[BadgerKid]

14. The Maligning Sycophantic Media didn't scrutinize *co. n/t

[Forkboy]

19. And you play their game and help them right along.

[GoldieAZ49]

22. Thats right, everyone is to blame except Obama and Wright

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

Hillary planted Wright in Obama's life 20 years ago and hypnotized him to stay there and forced Wright to preach all his wacky bullshit.


buy a clue.

[Forkboy]

29. If you had a clue, I'd buy it.

No one said they don't carry their share of the blame. But the waterboys for the MSM, such as yourself, also play their part. If you want to talk of responsibility the first place to start is with yourself.

[GoldieAZ49]

31. ah now I have the power to decide what the media covers

I don't have that much power or influence, but thanks for the thought

[Forkboy]

32. Read for comprehension. You can do it.

Everybody plays their part in this world, and you CAN control that. You have clearly chosen to play a part that helps the media do their dirty work. Once again, take responsibility FOR YOURSELF. Is that simple enough or do you need pictures too?

[GoldieAZ49]

33. LOL I have, I dumped Obama in mid March

quit drinking the koolaid

The press should have covered Wright and Obama in January

[Clark2008]

37. You work in print media and spell like you do?

No wonder newspapers have gone to shit since I left the profession a few years back.

"THEY will run it over..."

"by the new politician on the SCENE..."

"Political rhetoric" (the "R" wouldn't be capitalized).

Oh - and your punctuation is crap, too: "I have been watching different news stations off and on all day (PERIOD). (CAPITAL) There have been several black ministers saying Wright does not speak for the black churches of America."

I'm sorry. This is a blog and I don't usually care much about spelling and punctuation errors, as a rule, because it's not important here. However, when one alleges to work in print journalism and then makes all these errors, I'm suspect.

Maybe you work in the print shop or the business office and not as a reporter. In which case, you are telling the truth, but you are misleading those of us reading this blog.

BTW, I don't give a crap who wins the nomination. I never liked anyone running on either side.
