The Press: Mad As Hell, and Not Going to Take It Any More (cause their guy is losing)

PowerLine ^ | 9/12/2008 | John Hinderaker

Another condescending blowhard from the MSM is mad.

Mad that the MSM can't win an election for their guy.

Just like they couldn't win it for Jean Francois Kerry.

Mad that the public is sick and tired of their obnoxious partisan cheerleading.

Mad that bloggers and sites like FRee Republic exist to swat down their arrogance and pretensions of knowing what's best.

Poor cranky Mr. Kurtz. This whiny baby needs a time-out, and a nap.

These idiots cause the problems with the electoral process, then become angry and vindictive when people don’t accept their lies as sheep and choose to fight back.

[Melinda]

This is really good news.

Hey Howie,
Take a bong hit for Barry.

[mabelkitty]

When McCain and Palin win, the media loses big time.
No power base at all in DC.
They burned this bridge and won’t get a “do-over”.

Hey Howie,

Yea their made did you see Bahba on the view she almost popped a vein. She looked so angry...wow

[webheart]

Obama is not manipulating the press, the press is manipulating itself for Obama. The press is giving Obama a multi-channel, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, campaign commercial. For free.

[Uncle Hal]

The NOW crowd and the MSM cannot believe that the highest ranking women in the USA is going to be a conservative member of the GOP. They were sure this was going to be an ultra liberal like Hillary or Nancy. If Sarah becomes VP it will shatter their image as the arbiters of what a modern woman has to be. They are in shock and must destroy this upstart woman. They are scared and desperate. It is going to be brutal over the next 50 days.

[freeangel]

I have no doubt in my mind that when Sarah “provoked” the lsm, she did it on purpose, knowing that it would help her voters see them for what they are—a bunch of lying, over the top, scum sucking liars that good, normal citizens would no longer ignore.

[Free State Four]

The MSM are almost totally irrelevant. They are just now beginning to realize this. Those that the gods would make crazy, they first make mad.

[johnnycap]

When are all these reporters, journalists and hacks, who compromised their ethics to support and build up Barrack Obama going to turn their anger where it is best directed...AT BARRACK OBAMA.

I would be p.o.ed to if I was done in and made to look foolish by a big old fraud with a history of using people and his skin color to get where he wanted despite his complete and utter lack of qualifications. I’d be downright embarrassed for being such a sap for him.

[pray4liberty]

Of course they're mad. They've lost their audience. POing people and treating them as stupid will eventually do that. The ordinary hardworking, taxpaying, minimum-wage-earning American gets no respect.

What goes around, comes around. You can only abuse people for so long, until they say "so long."

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Does anyone seriously believe that Barack Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig

Does anyone seriously believe that he wasn't?

[umgud]

Well, lets see, first we had the dotcom bubble, then the housing bubble, now we got the MSM inflating Obama far beyond his true value......... guess what come next.

[mrsmel]

"The lipstick imbroglio is evidence that the Drudge/Fox/New York Post axis can drive just about any story into mainstream land. Does anyone seriously believe that Barack Obama was calling Sarah Palin a pig?"

Why not? They had no problem believing that Bill Clinton's reference to Obama's "fairy tale" rise was racist, nor for that matter, numerous other innocuous remarks made by people that the Obama campaign surrogates cried "racism!" about. For that matter, I can just imagine Michelle Obama giving Barack the idea to say it, it sounds like just the kind of thing a jealous catty woman would say, not a man (well, maybe a metrosexual type like Obama would).

[Interesting Times]

They're getting mad because their candidate is losing. They've spent years building him up and covering for his mistakes and shortcomings, and he is such a stiff that he can't coast across the finish line.

Add: they can no longer control America's political conversation.

[rrrod]

Righto! I want them to go after Palin with everything they can. It backfires everytime.

Normal everyday folks are going to stand firm and protect the Palin family.

[Ancient Drive]

yup I watched it. man they’re not even hiding their BIAS anymore.. straight out in the open. MSM is imploding as well.
