There is a serious flaw with this strategy. When you clearly show one of the naive the bias and slant ONE time, then the naive will be left with a residual doubt about the MSM.
Making official what was obvious to anybody who was paying attention.
****the posters referred to themselves as part of the “non-official campaign” for Obama ****
It is clear these cretins provided something of value to the BO campaign. If the public unwittingly paid for these magazines - they have a right to demand a refund.
The FEC should be required to investigate and put a value on this campaign advertising contribution.
BTTT!
Not as far as the majority of voters in this country is concerned. Most still believe all that they were lied about when she was announced by McCain.
She will never get another chance at a first impression. She's stupid, radical, militant Christian, unqualified.....She was trashed so badly that she will never recover politically to win national election. She is STILL being trashed and it will never end.
I love the women and can't believe what I have seen happen to her.
Envy is not an admirable trait....
Japan is formally a democracy, but in fact it’s an iron triangle ruled by bureaucrats, industrialists, and SOME politicians. Is there some debate in the system? More like a debate CARTEL —journalists are organized into a “kisshya kai”, a reporter pool, who all together cover some organization, sort of like the White House Press Pool we’re outwardly famliar with.
The distinguishing feature of the Japanese system is that after a news event the members all MEET and privately decide in a conference-like setting what the news will be, how it will be covered, etc.
None of this is hidden, ok? There are many such Kisshya Kai, each covering a ministry or large company, etc. They do their reporting as a GROUP, not as individuals.
Sort of like what we see in the JournoList scandal, which in my opinion is the biggest scandal in years.
The upshot is that in Japan, “respectable” dailies and magazines rarely break big scandals —they are married tightly to the organizations they cover, and so the long-term stability of the relationship is important.
They don’t want to lose their access, and they derive very great professional pride in their “legitimacy”.
The huge scandals in Japan are broken by what are regarded there as “mediaWhores” —illegitimate magazines and gossip mongers who are NOT members of the pools —they are excluded as unpredictable bums to be shunned, sort of like the, “Elvis Pumpkin Alien Baby!”-type rags we see near the grocery store check-out line.
If a political observer never reads such rags, he will never really know what’s really going on —a more and more accurate description of the US situation.
I remember for a short time during the Monica Mess, the National Enquirer was —really, really was— more truthful about what was going on than ANY major US newspaper daily.
We’re headed there again, but on a much bigger scale this time.
What are you talking about? Can you please explain or do you need help reading my post to you? Shall I spell it out in crayon, idiot?
Goes much further than envy. Remember how they sent hoards of investigators to Wasilla to find dirt on her and all they found was Levi Johnston. They still have too many stupid people who beleive them about her.
Their strategy worked.
OOPS Frank post 88 was not towards you! I apologize I relied incorrectly.
Please see post #89.
No problem...I hadn’t see it yet, but thanks for the clarification...I lost my crayons....LOL
spare the knuckles, spoil the communist I always say
Most people have no idea who Levrenti Beriya really was. He was Stalin's "hatchetman", an earlier, less photogenic, but infinitely more effective version of Ernesto Guevara. Guevara, on the other hand, is totally overrated, by both left, and right, alike. Beriya was intelligent, and Guevara, a complete boob...

yes, I knew that.
