Negative commentary was suppressed as well. Think about all of the allegedly independent surveys conducted under the guise of "nonpartisan political polling."
That, coupled with the never-ending character assassinations of McCain and especially Sarah Palin, while looking the other way on every transgression committed by Obama and his bulldog Biden.
The apoligetic MSM never once brought themselves to actually deconstruct anything that Obama was saying. They made purses out of all Obama's pig ears. The Palestinians in Gaza had more of an open election than we had.
While the reports of voter fraud, voter intimidation, and underhanded dealing were swirling around, the media was clearing the way for the Obama steamroller to flatten all opponents in his path.
We watch TV shows like "24," "Numbers," "Prison Break," "the Unit," and others that we have come to view as fiction, not realizing that what was happening in rwal life was stranger and more ominous than any TV series could ever concoct ot of their creative minds.
Eisenhower would also have been flattened, just as Reagan would have been.
The media gave a little wink in response to the enormity of the campaign contributions OBama received. They collected more money than the GNP of many third-world countries!
In that pot, at the end of the Socialist rainbow, was $63 million and change (that we know about) from foreign investors, primarily from the Middle East.
Now, everybody and his mother are playing, "Monday Morning Quarterback," first blaming the quarterback, then the backup, then the Offensive coordinator, then the Defense Coordinator, and then the fans themselves. Never mindful that the opposing team had pulled a Bill Belichek and stolen their playbook.
In this election, the Campaign and their obedient puppy dogs were playing the "Race Card" more than American voters played the lotterhy.
Never have I seen a bigger bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing journalists than what I saw in this electon -- with the lone exception of reports who parrot the Palestinian media.
Laziness is what drove the media into waiting arms of virulent, pro-Obama "fact-checking" sites like Factcheck and Politifact. When they were not, outright lying their butts off, they were blowing out of proportion anything and everything related to McCain and Palin.
Just as they did whenever any attacks took place in Israel, the Media took the wrong side of the conflict, communing with terrorists, and all-too-happy to act as their shills for passing along propaganda.
What they did to Sarah Palin was unconscionable. They strung her up by her heels for spending $150,000 on clothes while Obama spent $800,000 of taxpayer money on airfare alone for his personal trips to Hawaii.
Not to mention the $millions of taxpayer dollars spent to give him Secret Service protection, earliar than any candidate in the history of our country.
At every single interview with Obama and Biden, the MSM tossed fluffy balls of cotton candy in contrast to the bricks and bombs they lobbed at Palin and McCain.
There were so many letdowns and put-downs that, if were not for the blogsphere, nobody would know anything remotely related to the Truth.
Thank God for the blogsphere.
The GOP should have rallied around their candidate instead of bitching and moaning about McCain. What? Are there too many wusses in the party who think that McCain could not be given any guidance? Did they really feel that McCain would run the whole show without any commitments to his own party?
The GOP abandoned him, letting him twist slowly in the wind, because he was not conservative enough, not not pro-family enough, not anti-environmental enough, and so on.
How could they allow their opponent to waltz into the White House virtually uncontested? Why weren't all these "Not tested" ads run in the first two weeks of the campaign, rather than last two weeks of the campaign?
People in glass houses should not throw stones, unless they've got a friend in the home improvement industry.
