Proof of Media Bias in Election Coverage

27 August 2008 19 Comments Posted by: Andrew S.

This video speaks for itself. If you thought the mainstream media was up to something, you’d be right. It really amazes me the comments on YouTube, though, where people try and act like YouTube and Google searches aren’t a good measure of people’s interest in a topic. Oh really? And media air time is? Wow. Kindof interesting that you’re leaving a comment on YouTube and you don’t think it matters…

    Ron Paul will be a write in on MY BALLOT.
    I hope enough of us do this and he gets elected.
    If not? We are headed for more of the same and much much worse leadership.
    Even the end of our Democracy as we knew it.

    Many bloggers are describing how CNN rejected their postings about Obama's socialism … even though it was in Obama's own words. I have experienced similar censorship from CNN, as well as other biased media outlets. If Obama gets elected, and this great country declines into socialism, it will be the corrupt and biased media who will bear much of the responsibility. Free enterprise, opportunity, and the standard of living in the United States, are some of the reasons why people from all over the world risk life and limb to move here. A fair media is paramount to a free society. The media never vetted Obama. Now the momentum of his campaign and fund raising has made it very hard to stop his 'run away train”. If Americans had known half the stuff we now know about Obama, he would never have gotten this far … and, there is a lot we still don't know about Obama! For example … are hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions that are helping him get elected, originally from foreign sources? Is his birth certificate authentic? The media's willful decision to grossly favor one side, and refuse to report the truth, is evil and betrays their responsibility to the American people. In my opinion the media's actions, and inactions in this situation amount to criminal behavior. Who are the media accountable to?

    “The media never vetted Obama.”

    Yes, they did. So did the GOP. So did the Clinton campaign.

    “If Americans had known half the stuff we now know about Obama, he would never have gotten this far”

    Half the stuff? What's the stuff?

    “For example … are hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions that are helping him get elected, originally from foreign sources?”

    No. That's a highly regulated environment. And that information is publicly available, you silly goose.

    “Is his birth certificate authentic?”

    Yes it is. What don't you do some research? http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in...

    I'm not voting for Obama. I nonetheless hate it when dumbasses get their facts wrong.

    They're accountable to their bottom line, the CFR agenda and the fact that their new lies have to cover their last ones.

    If his certificate was really genuine then why did he hide it for so long? I'm a photoshop user myself and I've looked at the analysis of other non-partisan photoshop users such as this one and I'm convinced we're being lied to. — -> http://patriotroom.com/?p=439

    Andrew,

    You need to be educated on the term “non-partisan.”

    For instance, it seems that you think that patriotroom.com is non-partisan. On that site, I'm encouraged to buy Sarah Palin's biography, listen to Rush Limbaugh, etc. The site also notes that it is a proud member of the “Conservative Conglomerate.”

    And you seem to be suggesting that factcheck.org is partisan. Quite bizarre.

    Here's another treatment of the issue: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/citizen.asp

    But I know you won't look at facts. You don't want to.

  • Andrew Slominski (author) said:

    Actually, I didn't bother looking at the site that particular example came from because I've seen other analysis of the birth certificate that have come to the same conclusion. In reality I could care less about his birth certificate. I really don't know why I continue to respond to you when it's quite obvious that I do look at the facts and I do want to know how the world actually works. I looked at the article on factcheck.org and it's pretty convincing, but it doesn't change my mind about Obama. Why not? Because I oppose him on the issues.

  • Paul Denby said:

    Andrew,

    Well then I feel quite accomplished. You had a really dumb conspiracy theory about Obama (necessarily involving Hawaii state officials, Obama, the media, the GOP, the Clinton campaign and many other necessary parties), you were then confronted with facts, and then you bailed.

    So you're starting to at least resemble a normal-thinking person. You should continue down that path.

    But believing that patriotroom.com is non-partisan is probably the most stupid thing I've ever read, so your sanity is still in question.

  • Andrew Slominski (author) said:

    If only everyone would wake up each day and believe their TV, we'd be all set. Everyone would know truth from lies. How are we going to convince them?

  • Paul Denby said:

    I have no idea what you're trying to say there.
