Twenty-four hour coverage of the convention from all three networks? I am literally hearing Obamas name at least once every two minutes. What kind of coverage do you think the Republican convention will get?
-
Yep.. this is a guy who is tied in the polls with someone who hasn't even been seen by the media.
I think that even the dumbest American will be able to see the agenda of the media by now and get disgusted and distrustful. The manipulation by the media is getting so blatant that it will start to anger and disgust most reasonable people.

Agreed......... :mad:

it almost appears as though the press in general want him elected. everywhere i turn, i see a picture of him, or hear his name, or read his name.
most people are stupid. what'll happen, is that they'll walk into the voting booths, and see the name that they've seen most, and choose that name. if the newspapers, media, and intardnet continue pummeling us with his name, i think it's a safe bet that he'll be our next president.
today in my local paper, the front page is an article telling us how much his wife loves this country.......when i open my yahell mail, there's ALWAYS SOMETHING abut him there. same with my aohell mail. it's actually fairly annoying.

And yet these same liberals wave the fairness doctrine as if they are oppressed. There is a divide in our country and politics is stretching it ever wider.
-
Yep,
The media seems to think that ppl believe whatever they tell ya to believe...
If they repeat the same drivel, enough times, it must be true, RIGHT???
Mmmmm, this turd tastes good.... Just try it!!!!
Sadly, some ppl do!!! :rofl :rofl :rofl

Maybe we all take a bias in what we are seeing. I've heard McCain or Republican news just as much as I've heard Obama news. Then again I don't get my news from 24 hour TV channels. That one show with the "Situation Room" bugs the hell outta me.
-
I've got all the news channels, network, cable, 24/7 coverage of every little disaster in our
lives.
In my opinion the media is biased towards Obama.
Lately it seems as if even Fox spends more time reporting on the messiah.
Of course the people are going to vote him into office.
After all he's promised hand outs to everybody, and everybody's gonna get into line with
their hand out.

BINGO (http://www.mazeguy.net/cartoon/smurf.gif)

the democratic governor of Pennsylvania told the media to their face at a press conference that they were biased for obama
but you can not really blame the reporters, they went to a liberal school and were taught by liberal teachers at a time when their brains were still soft and moldable.
some communist leader said if you can control the minds of the childern you will soon control the country.

Which is exactly why the democrats want to deny poor kids a decent education by allowing vouchers.

political conventions are apparently not for the thinking person - they'd rather the focus stay on whatever imaginary verbal and visual fantasy they can create - at least in this Dem convention.
I did kind of like Teddy Kennedy's scrappiness in the face of death even tho I can't stand the guy.
Michelle Obama's speech sounded like one of those beauty contestants' "cure world hunger in our lifetime" speeches. Sounded a bit phoney to me. She is smart and well dressed tho.

In all fairness....shouldn't we wait until the Republican convention actual starts to make a comparison?

the two things that liberal socialist democrats fear most is the second amendment and vouchers. Followed closely by not allowing illegals and dead people to vote.

WoW! It's as if you've been able to look directly into my soul!!! :O
With respect Lazs- I don't think you have a clue what liberal dems fear. :rolleyes:
Back on topic... the real test of the media is NOT how much coverage the Obama campaign is getting now during the Dem National Convention - of course he's going to get coverage now.
The question is how much coverage he's going to get during the REPUBLICAN convention. If he's all over the news then, then you can make the claim that the press wants him elected.
-
Oh.. I don't think there is enough room on anyones computer to list all the things liberal democrats fear... they pretty much fear everything and are constantly on the lookout for new and ever more dire things to fear...
Why.. the destruction of the very planet is not too much for them to get their fear wrapped around... No crisis is too minor or tooooo major for them to not demand that government do something about it.
even if it is made up.

Imo ...the first night of the Democratic convention was a bust.
You got the two faced Nancy Pelosi shooting her mouth off...and of
all people...Jimmy Carter?? A sympathiser of our enemy's.
Can the Dems do anything better than that?...Oh and a "Surprise" visit
from Ted Kennedy...omg what will they think of next.
I Think that Obomma made a huge mistake not choosing Hillary..they are going
to chew Bidin up and spit him out.
I can't wait till the Debates...it will make or break the campaign.

I think you're giving the regular joe a little too much credit. The list of reasonable people who think for themselves is growing shorter by the day.
As for the Obama blitz in the media, I see his name three times alone on the first page of the o'club.

I don't agree. If most people were stupid, Obama's lead would be larger. I saw a poll somewhere that 70% of those asked felt the coverage was biased for Obama. Now I do agree the old media THINKS most people are stupid. This is going to bite them in the butt. Most people don't like to be treated as stupid.
-

AND you wont see that loving look in "insert news person name here" eyes either. If you can't see the glee in their eye you might be a lib.

Ok...
This is just funny...

I don't care if you're a Repub/Dem... click the link above to see a video of Obama speeches that have been clipped together so that he "sings"
Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up..."
very funny... and since we're talking about Obama all over the place, I thought you'd all get a kick of it

now, if you have a yahell account, open your email and see if he's there. same at aol's web page.

it's been since before the convention that this extra coverage has been going on. i think he'll get as much during the repubs convention too.

i might have been better off to have phrased that differently.
the point i was trying to get at though, was that if they keep planting his name up there in front of everyone, then when they go into the voting booth, they're going to pick the most familiar name first. that will unfortunatly be osama, if the media continues this blitz.

MSNheaven mail doesn't get anything like that...Btw, does anyone here watch the Daily Show??? It's the only Non-biased news i've seen, actually, they're biased against the regular news :lol. But they make fun of Obama's faults and McCain's... Three :aok :aok :aok for it

Yeah... that worries me too. And God forbid that happens, i can't imagine the race riots that would break out :confused:

Ahhh, fairness. Yes.
By the time the Republican convention starts, the media will have done a story about how they think they may have overdone it just a bit with the Democrat convention . . .
Therefore, they will "tone down" their coverage of the Republican convention to compensate.

Sadly, you are probably correct.

it was on the news. they caught(supposedly)2 or 3 men that supposedly admitted to planning to do the deed. one of them had(supposedly)3 high powered rifles in a rented truck he was driving. i think they also said he supposedly had high powered scopes for them, and a spotting scope?

ya know who the best guy for the job is?
the guy that doesn't want the job. these guys want it too badly. put someone in there for one single term. bet he does a better job if he knows he has to return to the world he creates during his term.

Comparable. It'll be THE news.

In Rome, if a politician screwed over his constituents; the constituents put a knife into him.
And, it was legal.
