Karma catches up to MSM bias

March 15, 2008 - 08:44 ET by Parker1227

If the MSM had done its job reporting on Obama's history with the racist fanatic Rev. Wright before Obama caught on fire and gained an insurmountable lead, then the Dems wouldn't be caught in this political vice-grip.

The Dems stick with Obama and we get a 48 state landslide for McCain.  The Dems reject the state delegate leader Obama at their convention, and they get riots in the streets and Blacks sitting out the general election giving McCain an easy 52% victory.

Damned if they do...

Just imagine if the MSM had done its job a year ago. Hillary would be walking away with the nomination and the general electioneering would be well under way.

I don't watch ANY MSM as it is clearly a useless agenda driven propaganda product.  Useless as far as information is concerned, but priceless for a pure entertainment source and a glimpse into the delusional liberal mind.

 

To know and not do, is to not yet know

they're either liars or have a very generous definition of what the MSM is.

From the alphabet soup networks..the newspapers didn't really touch it.  I depended on the blogosphere for investigative pieces.

Good Morning America (ABC) covered it lightly on Thursday morning.

Can someone tell me how the story finally broke

March 15, 2008 - 10:26 ET by Dee Bunk

I try to keep away from the MSM so I'm not sure what happened. Did the story break on Drudge and cable or something and then the media said nothing until Obama made a statement?

Rush was the first person I know of to bring this to light...

As a talk radio listener, I couldn't help but hear about it.

Same goes for the internet. 

I heard next to nothing about "Rev." Wright from the MSM.

Sean Hannity has been

Sean Hannity has been covering this quite a bit when he can on Fox.

I heard Tucker did too about a year ago now on his show, which he said he got blasted for, I guess the Rev.Al Sharpton was a guest...

The msm has ignored this purposely, simple as that.

I guess they figured if the played hear no evil, see no evil long enough it would just poof... up and disappear....the fools.

Obama's "church" infor has been around quite a while.

Months ago when I got all the chain e-mails about "Obama being Muslim", I checked it out on "Snopes" right away. While "Snopes" had the claim being "false", they provided a link to Obama's "church" to check for yourself. However, when you actually took the time to look at their "mission statement", it was pretty alarming.

As far as I can tell, 4 out of their "10-point vision" has absolutely nothing to do with being a Christian or following the "great commission". I especially laugh when I see their goal of "working towards economic parity". Any guess if that leans towards the "socio-communist" parity, or encouraging folks to do something for themselves?....

All one has to do is substitute "white" for "black" and "European" for "Africa", and you can let your mind wander as how the MSM would've treated such a church connection if it had been linked to a conservative.

I suspect that their "about us" page will morph radically if Obama gets the Democrat nomination. I've copied their page so if and when they do I can let everybody I know what they've done.
