There's been a lot of talk about how the mainstream media failed the country during this last election cycle, and that because of that failure their days are numbered.
I have to disagree. I think the media performed flawlessly during the two year election cycle. They managed the story, shielded their candidate, attacked the opposition, sat on damaging stories, and in short did everything a good state run media should do during an election cycle.
In fact, the only sign of their incompetence was that McCain kept the race much closer than he should have, but that failure might be more due to the education system failing to properly propagandize the young voters, although they'll probably blame home-schoolers for that.
But all in all, the media performed admirably. Just watch this video and you'll instantly see how effectively the media communicated the Obama message.
They couldn't identify Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi, but they knew all about Sarah Palin's kids and clothes.
Now that's a media that stayed on message and on point for two solid years.
Bravo.
imo, they had some help from the GOP...at least in effectively keeping the conservative candidates OUT of the running.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
Shhhh... The Office of the President Elect is announcing his economic team!
Obama would not be well on his way to implementing his “vision, were it not for Mrs. O’Leary’s cow - Chuckie Schumer - who laid flame to the teetering Indymac with his loose lips.
MSM = VOMIT

If there were conservative candidates in the running the MSM would have painted them as evil, old-fashioned, hateful, rich, old, overly religious white men. MSM NEVER has anything complimentary to say about conservatives.
And yet he’s not in jail....
I couldn’t agree more. I was actually glad to see the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms across the nation drop their silly pretense of “journalism” and “objectivity” and go straight for the throat on behalf of their candidate. Even the ignorant chattering class noticed (although they did elect 0bama anyway).
In the end it’s a good thing. Now everybody knows where they stand.
Yup! Vomit and disgust over their Fraud 0’Soros candidate who knows and has accomplished nothing per his own public record.
If lying, stonewalling, oppressing; and on the other hand elevating without reason, is good ‘news reporting’ then that is just what we got.
It might as well be Russia, for their news medias there have been government controlled for years/decades.
Welcome to the new era of revisionist news.
