http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phBBnxXJdoM ^

See video for shockingly biased campaign coverage, even by CBS's standards.


TOPICS: Government; Miscellaneous; Politics/Elections; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: 2008; cbsnews; mccain; obama; partisanmedia; propagandawingofdnc
"[This election season] has officially turned negative, with McCain drawing first blood."

"We'll see if Obama will continue to take the high road, as McCain takes the low road."

And this wasn't meant to be an opinion piece.

Didn't seem very different from the CBS News I gave up watching more than a decade ago.

Chip Reid is a liberal shill who used to work for nbc news, he was one of Bill and Hillary’s biggest fans, don’t take his reports seriously.

Media bias ain't exactly news.

Could we add a new forum titled : "No Sh*t!" ?

If it was McCain in Germany the headline would have been “Republican Interrupts Rock Concert to Spout Political Propoganda”

So John McCains campaign comes out and says what many are thinking about Obama and the MSM takes this as an attack? They get all defensive and then try to answer their own question, “If Obama goes negative what would he say about McCain?”. Yes, lets take up the offensive for Obama so he doesn't have to dirty his hands....Good grief.

Frankly, if McCain and the Repubs can not correctly reveal to voting Americans who Obama is and why he is so dangerous, then McCain doesn't deserve to win. If Americans are unable to see Obama as the naive Socialist he obviously is and recognize that Socialism still DOESN'T WORK, then sadly, America is going to suffer.

Obama doesn’t need to sucker punch McCain - the alphabets are doing all the negative posturing they can...

I think considering the gutter gossip McCain has been able to stay above the slime.

The remarks about Obama and his World Tour are right on!

Speaking of media bias I was watching CNN a few days ago when they showed about a 5 minute clip of Obmama speaking on the campaign trail the followed with about a 1 minute clip of McCain. Then they said "For more on the Obmama speach go to CNN.com for a link to the full segiment". No mention of McCain.

This reminds me of a joke I got or maybe it was true we will never know..


Point of View

BIKER STORY Receives New York Times BestA biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girlleaning into the lion’s cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket andtries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyesof her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits thelion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go ofthe girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event.The reporter addressing the biker says, ‘Sir, this wasthe most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my wholelife.’
The biker replies, ‘Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.’ The reporter says, ‘Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist from the New York Times, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’’
The biker replies, ‘I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican.’The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys The New York Times tosee if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, onfront page: *
