I think the MSM has long ago stopped being a business model. They are liberal mouth pieces with no connection to the reality of sales. The arrogant reporters who report only their opinion and the strange, elite editors are paid enormous sums while the enterprise itself flounders, being propped up by larger corporations and real property sales. Despite continual layoffs and asset depletion, the current MSM tries to become ever more liberal, thinking that economic salvation is one great story away. These people are delusional, and it is obvious every day as the MSM collapses.

We have to give Obama a little bit of credit here…
so far it’s been a week and he hasn’t changed his socialist answer to JTP’s question.

Don’t spread my wealth, Barack, baby!

The homeless where I live get freee dental insurance and health insurance, things I can’t even afford.

I’m tired of the government taking money I worked hard for and giving it to those unwilling to even get a job.

look take the time to read up on those issues and you’ll see there isn’t much there a sane person, who is worried about paying bills and having good schools and health care is even giving a second thought too.

take a breath and step back…. now do you see how we’re all living in this america region…and regardless of who wins, the other guy is still gonna be hanging around. That is reality.

MSM is chasing a story, chasing readers and viewers…. they too are struggling to hang onto their jobs….. anything that gets hits views eyeballs…..will run til the wheels fall off. That is the business.

Obama doesn’t have to turn the MSM on anybody… they will do it willingly. To believe they are unbiased and chasing the hot story is naive to some degree. Anybody seeing anything in the MSM about the married Democrat in Florida that took Foley’s place having sex with his staff? As I recall the Foley story was non-stop 24/7 during the election year because he was a Republican. How about the story about Obama trying to sway Iraqi officials to hold off until after the election before withdrawing large amounts of deployed troops? It seems to me something that could be considered treason by a Presidential candidate might be newsworthy. How about the hundreds of slaughtered Kenyans by Odinga and company? How about Ferrekan calling Obama “the Messiah” to his congregation? Jackson’s statements that when Obama got in office the zionists would lose power? All these were news “blips” in the MSM because they deal directly with Obama or may negatively affect Obama’s candidacy. Let’s face reality once and for all. If not for the internet and Fox news we would have a Nationalized media deciding on what we heard and what we shouldn’t hear. Look at socialist governments that currently exist if you need a model.

Its an easy choice for all Americans.

Do you want Barack Obama to “Spread the wealth around”?, or

Do you want John McCain to “Lower your taxes”?

Joe the Plumber is one of the best campaign contrivances in the history of politics, it was organic, and the fact that the Obama team smeared Joe only made it better.

Obama may have handed McCain the win.

lol, so you think its Obama that has turned loose the MSM on Joe? Or that Obama already has the power to control the media….How does that even make sense? The media chases the story they think has the most buzz and will bring the most views, it’s McCain’s incessant mentioning of Joe the Plummer that launched this…it’s about ratings and the public drives that… Obama is totally approachable in these types of settings and that is a huge part of his appeal to the Joe on the street. Regardless, don’t you think it’s time to change the tone to one of a united states, we’re going to have to live with one of these men as President and the other still in Senate. Perhaps it’s time for American’s to set the example we expect from our politicians.

Why is Joe even an issue? He asked a question. If his question isn’t valid because he voted republican in his past does that mean that none of the press, or anyone who has voted, should be able to ask questions ? I think that would make all interviews with candidates we’ve had this election invalid. Even more important is the climate of intimidation this presents to us, we’ve seen it before with people who dare say something the Obama campaign doesn’t like. If you’ve ever lived under a communist government, for example in Kenya under the leadership of Obama’s cousin, you will recognize the tactics and be very worried about what is happening in this country. Poor Joe, how dare he ask a question unless he is a perfect person.

If I were Joe the Plumber, I wouldn’t be very happy with McCain. This was an orchestrated stunt that backfired badly. What about the nuts who yelled at McCain during his town hall, did anyone follow up on them and try to discredit them? Of course now. Joe only became an issue because McCain thought he could make campaign hay with it.

kmp,

I assume you’re talking about the House of Representatives? I couldn’t agree more.

the McCain who showed up tot he dinner last night and stood along side Obama and was kind and so very funny.

Yes, he was funny. I agree also: He should be that effective the remainder of the time.

Thanks again for stopping by and commenting.
