For today's watchdogs:

The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight-out propagandists for the Obama campaign.
While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08, for the first time, the major media consciously are covering for one candidate for president and consciously are knifing the other. This is no longer journalism; it is simply propaganda. (The American left-wing version of the Völkischer Beobachter cannot be far behind.)
And as a result, we are less than seven weeks away from possibly electing a president who has not been thoroughly or even halfway honestly presented to the country by our watchdogs -- the press. The image of Obama that the press has presented to the public is not a fair approximation of the real man. They consciously have ignored whole years of his life and have shown a lack of curiosity about such gaps, which bespeaks a lack of journalistic instinct.
Thus, the public image of Obama is of a "man who never was."
I take that phrase from a 1956 movie about a real-life World War II British intelligence operation to trick the Germans into thinking the Allies were going to invade Greece rather than Sicily in 1943. Operation Mincemeat involved the acquisition of a human corpse dressed as "Major William Martin, R.M.," which was put into the sea near Spain. Attached to the corpse was a briefcase containing fake letters suggesting that the Allied attack would be against Sardinia and Greece.
To make the operation credible, British intelligence concocted a fictional life for the corpse, creating a letter from a lover and tickets to a London theater -- all the details of a life, but not the actual life of the dead young man whose corpse was being used.

Boycott!
Bloomberg channel should just rename themselves to the Obama News Network....They are always pumping him and dumping on McCain...
The morons living on this continent say that Barack HUSSEIN Osama would do a better job with the economy. Since they don’t know him and his Chicago boys personally and he has absolutely no track record, where did they get that idea?
The media has proved it can be bought and paid for just like a paramour
my husband has been threatened for wearing a McCain Palin hat....
civil war and then world war....
I am also believing now that Hank Paulson and the RAts have set this all up.....IIRC, Paulson met with Hussien last week before he met with McCain....
Obama is the MSM Star they are promoting. They figure ratings will go up if Obama is stepping in conflict every night. McCain may put the audience to sleep. It is all about ratings and nothing about what is right for the country.
Must quibble on your tagline.
That figure is at least 55%...
Isn’t this how Hitler took over?
Obama''s "affordable housing"plan in his old Chicago district, from which he has been a couple of years was a joint effort of govt. and public sector. Obama got the grants, gave them to his friends who built housing. Now, about 10 years later, that housing is falling in. His friends built shoddy housing and did not keep it up. One of the principal recipients and managers is now his campaign finance mgr.
This man is still touting the same old Affordable housing for everyone through govt. and private sector working together. And he is running McCain down for having advisors who drew a salary from Fannie/Freddie. He is secure in knowing the MSM will squash these reports.
I went to the Boston Globe from an url posted, I think, on FR. I do not know how to post a live url yo can just click on. If someone wants to email me privately, please do. I have a Mac. vaudine
For those of you who thought that ‘It couldn’t happen here’, think again!!!!!
“civil war”... passions are high and it’s been personal, brother against brother, me and my brother for example. It’s very frustrating when any possibility of civil dialogue is pre-empted by a biased press.Things can come unhinged. The Civil War really started not at Fort Sumter but on a Kansas farm when John Brown and his sons hacked to death with claymores some pro-southerners. That’s when it started. Bushwackers in Missouri and Jayhawkers in Kansas, a bloody bloody theater of war.
For today's watchdogs:
What a shame! Even the Third World countries press is more honest and trustworthy.
To put All trust in one candidate without regard to the wellbeing of their own country, the press has sold out itself.
Only the American people can save America, seems like only the White Americans can save America!

None of the above.
They'll join the coming war against talk radio and free speech on the internet.
I agree - the media campaigns sure are hard for Obama.
And report that everyone that voted for McCain is a racist.
