Nothing New!! MSM has Total blackout on Obamas "Coal" comments!

Posted on 11/02/2008 8:42:47 PM PST by rfmad

Well well I just surveyed most MSM websites and there's not a hint of the explosive audio of Obama saying he will bankrupt Coal companies. Never mind it is a major industry in the most important states still undecided in the election. Obama also promised that we will have to endure higher Energy cost so we limit climate change. Hear that "Fall" and "Spring" looks like you are about to be extinct! "Climate change" is now on the hunt now that "global warming" was such a failure. I guess they need a new "undefinable" and ever observant condition to destroy capitalism.

Once again the MSM does'nt disappoint. It is still way biased to the far left. Well at least they are predictable.

Not shocking at all. Our hope will have to be McCain getting an ad out with Obama saying this, especially in states where coal is key industry.

Since they didn’t bother to report it 10 months ago it’s now officially “old news” /sarcasm

Unfortunately, that IS exactly how the Mediascum operate on any story they don’t want to report: first they ignore, distort, and/or minimize it. Then, if forced to explain why they are not reporting on it now they say it is “old news”.....

This is the same MSM that used half-baked Daily Kos blogs as their source information regarding Sarah Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy, and speculating whether her daughter was the real mother of Sarah’s baby. They rushed those stories into the N.Y. Times the next day.

Sarah Palin’s daughter being pregnant is more important than the energy policies of a presidential candidate. Okay, I get the picture.

Thanks for taking one for the team and informing us of the Armband Media’s tactics. Now go take a shower ;^)

No, it will take a devil handed miracle for Obama to win. He has to get ALL of what Kerry got and then take away from some of what Bush got. That simply will NOT happen. His only chance is massive and successful voter fraud plus an unusually high dem turnout compared to pubbies. Also, the 8% undecideds are going to break to Mac at least 5 to 1.

Bambi is toast.

I think, very soon, everyone will be getting their news from sources OTHER than the traditional MSM. It has proven itself to be an irrelevant propaganda shop in a world where accurate information flies around the globe in seconds.

Does anyone really need Couric or Olberman or Brockaw or any of those other strangely coiffed people to tell you how to think? Those under 30 don't have a clue who the MSM is because they get their information from network sources. Its us boomers who get so cranked about “MSM.” Must be Walter Cronkite syndrome.

Of course the MSM is blocking this. That is why I said on a couple of different posts that folks living in these key mining states need to get this BO audio to their local news stations.
More people watch local news than national anyway.
The impact of this issue can be made local and won locally as votes.
Contact your local news and request they spread this message

AP the news agency that supplies all the small papers and radio stations with their wire news buried it deep in a roundup of daily election news and said the claim was taken “out of context.” This is like living in Russia when they had to use Interfax to get news out. The MSM is going to try to black this out or trivialize it as on CNN where it was dismissed as “old news.” A candidate saying he intends to cause skyrocketing electricity prices should be top news, not to mention bankrupting the coal industry. But the key news media are the small papers and radio stations in coal country. Somehow they have to get notified.

I saw Sean Hannity bring it up on “Hanity and Colmes”. Tim Pawlenty got into it with Colmes and Colmes fumbled in defense of “the One”.

We need to stop looking at the MSM as a credible Fourth Estate or protector of the people from the powerful and corrupt in Government. It is not up to the task. We get more and better news from Free Republic every hour of the day. Why look to AP? Its just propaganda. Between Free Republic and Drudge (who's been a bit in the tank for The One lately) its all the news anyone needs.Plenty of links and a great way to organize content.

Olberman and Couric are on the tube because they get us all whooped up. If we ignore them and we don't buy from their sponsors.... they won't survive the recession!

Obama's two famous comments, "bitter clingers" and this latest one about "bankrupting the coal industry" were said at the beginning of the year.

Anyone remember what the headlines were about that time? Just curious what the MSM was covering (besides Obama's A$$) when they were not reporting this.

I thought ABC and FOX had it, also some newspapers.
