Barack Obama's victory shows media can't be trusted
The Flint Journal ^ | November 10, 2008 | John Tomlinson

Posted on 11/10/2008 8:41:24 AM PST by madison10

....Giving Obama a pass on his tissue-thin record, his long association with dangerous people and questionable activity, such as his dealings with fundraiser Antoin Rezko and the huge foreign money he took, shows the media cannot be trusted. Their earnings will plunge.

And if Americans discover that they've been sucker-punched, because Obama's inexperience causes economic and political chaos, they'll be on Obama like a virus and will be astonishingly vicious. Live by the sword ...

Are they going through a stage of self flagellation for their past deeds or what?

It’d not just the media that can’t be trusted - what about the system that is supped to check for eligibility before he was even allowed to run for POTUS? What about the background checks that should have kept him out of the US Senate and are now being ignored/waived due to race/religion/whatever?
We should all move to DC - that will be the only city not targeted by the terrorists (as long as Obama is in DC that is).

The media gave us Obama and will probably help in getting us attacked again. The media is a criminal enterprise!

This guy just shows up and makes speeches, that's the best we can hope for. There are lots of experienced people in Washington who will be making the decisions. He's the puppet. The special interests keep on calling the shots as always.

It Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the democraps we need worry about. This clown will be too busy running all over the place playing the role of “President”. Clinton was nothing more than an actor, who as Dick Morris pointed out, was a fraud.

The problem is, that even though they are puppets, they tend to get swollen heads and end up doing some things that hurt us - raise taxes, do not respond to terrorism (as Clinton did), force banks to give mortgages to people who are not qualified, etc..

But this guy's another Clinton, without all the sleaze, big ego, can't wait to play “Mr President” wherever he goes.

Equally as corrupt and anti-American is most of Hollywierd. They are part of the MSM force that did everything they could to degrade, demoralize, and joke about conservatives and are part of the Obama machine.

wow! as a former Flint-area resident and ex-subscriber to this left-leaning paper I am just stunned by the candor.

“the media cannot be trusted”
I hope that’s not a surprise to too many people.

What the media understands is that liberals are willfully ignorant pawns. If you ever try to argue with a liberal, not only do they not try to dig for the facts, but cannot reason on any logical level. So they are doomed to be manipulated by the media. The only thing that can make them think that they possibly could be wrong is if they cause themselves severe pain, which very well might happen to all of us.

I don’t think there is a security check done for POTUS - this has always worked in the past because the news media did the extensive vetting - they figure if he’s elected by the ‘people’ then it’s okay to waive his security clearance. This is probably the most important element of the gross neglegence of the media. Lord knows, he could never get one. Guess the country’s secrets are as safe as they were with the liberals in the Clinton administration... Remember how all the secrets were ‘allowed’ to escape during that reign?

It also signifies the end of the Clinton's

Ya' think?

OTOH, I don't expect a Senate resignation from Hillery any time soon.
