News media objective in presidential race?
CNN ^ | August 18, 2008 | Jack Cafferty

Posted on 08/18/2008 1:16:52 PM PDT by edzo4

John McCain is whining about the media — again. His campaign manager, Rick Davis, wants to meet with the president of NBC News to protest the network’s coverage… saying it’s abandoning “non-partisan coverage” of the presidential race.

McCain’s not happy with what NBC’s Andrea Mitchell said on “Meet the Press” yesterday, when she questioned whether McCain may have known about some of the questions at the faith forum Saturday night ahead of time. John McCain was supposed to be held in a so-called “cone of silence” during Barack Obama’s interview, which happened first. But it turns out McCain was in his motorcade on the way to Rick Warren’s church during the interview.

It was known by all parties when McCain was going to arrive at the event. Besides Obama knew the first question beforehand, had admittedly peeked at another, and was informed all the topics.

CNN answered this all by themselves ...

"Rick Davis, wants to meet with the president of NBC News to protest the network’s coverage… saying it’s abandoning “non-partisan coverage” of the presidential race"

=

"John McCain is whining about the media — again."

Nope. No bias there at all.

Biased? Remember Clinton? CNN - Clinton News Network. CBS - Clinton Broadcasting System. NBC - Nobody But Clinton. ABC - All Bill Clinton. Is anyone really surprised that the msm is in the tank for the Dalai Bama? I’m not. By the way, are Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann still fighting over who gets to perform Obama’s ablutions? Just wondering.

I’m just wondering if Jack Cafferty is to the point where he’s got that little flask of booze in his pocket to keep the delirium tremens at bay while he’s on the air.

My guess?

Probably.

That's an easy one! Their objective is to put a Democrat in the White House.

“News media objective in presidential race?”

Anyone who would even ask this question, in other than a rhetorical sense, is too far gone for any hope for redemption.

Jack Cafferty is the non biased media sumbag that was salivating over seeing Karl Rove in an orange jumpsuit. I can’t wait to see his wrinkled face twisted up in pain when barack mcgovern pulls the whole rat party into the crapper.

How many times do we have to go over this?

The media has polled itself to determine whether or not they are biased and hands down the conclusion was, no, they are not biased.

End o' story.

Can't we move on to something more relavant like did McCain steal an anecdote from Gulag Archeligo or isn't Obama standing up well against baseless attacks.

Really. You people.

CNN is so biased against McCain that they are now saying that McCain was Not in the Cone of Silence while Obama was answering at the Saddleback Forum. McCain Said he was in the Cone of Silence, he even joked about listening at the door. How far will CNN go in spreading these Evil Democrat Lies?

Jack Cafferty, just one more of those in the far-left media bubble who will never know what "media bias" actually is. To people like him, everything out of the liberal mainstream is abnormal. Cafferty is like a worm that, when introduced to a world outside of its earthly underground, will immediately wonder how anything or anybody could actually live outside of his world. To Cafferty, life outside of his liberal circles is incomprehensible. He doesn't have the mental capacity to understand more than a single point of view.

Cafferty does live in an echo chamber. It reminds of the journalists back in the ‘80’s who didn’t know anyone who voted for Ronald Reagan. How did he get elected? I don’t know anyone who voted for him. Smarmy elitists all.
