Obama: TV Misreporting What's Happening At Town Hall Meetings
Newsbusters.org ^ | 8-15-09 | Noel Sheppard

The man who has received more favorable press coverage than likely any political candidate or President in history struck back at television news outlets Friday for focusing attention on town hall meeting protesters.

Imagine the nerve of these Obama-loving media members daring to broadcast some dissent in the population despite their absurd contention it's all being manufactured by conservative organizations.

But none of that matters, for Mr. Obama has grown accustomed to nothing but glowing adoration and sycophancy, and what's been shown on recent television newscasts just doesn't fit what he believes is necessary to force healthcare reform down the throats of a nation becoming more and more fearful of the long-term consequences (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, relevant section at 1:00):

Hussein starting to evince some hostility to The press could accomplish something I would have thought not possible, the partial alienation of the GCM.

...The scumbag media is losing revenue, the bottom line, so, now they’ll turn on Obama, for the bottom line. That’s a good thing, but they’re still scumbags, Big Business...

...Marketing and ad men, suicidal these days. Do it...

Tactics from Obama's playbook "Rules for Radicals"

----------------------------------

11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative."

12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'...

Seen his approval ratings lately? They are falling, falling, falling. Perhaps this was his wake up call to the media to do a better job of adulatory coverage.

Hey odummer, what is happening at the town-halls is this little thing we call "Democracy" you socialist jerk. The people are voicing their concerns and opinions on issues. Our elected representatives had better listen, or suffer the same fate as so many American's have recently - start looking for other work.

Of course they are. Since truth is not on their side; all they can do is lie.
