In a sane world, Obama’s Jeremiah Wright connection would have ended his presidential campaign, right then and there. End of story, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
That it didn’t showed the power of the SRM to shape public perception. It also shows the size of the segment of the voting population who harbor deep animosity for our country, or at the very least, don’t take their country seriously.
You nailed it.
The same media that produced a full dossier on complete unknown Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher in 24 hours declined to do any investigation of Baraq in 24 months leading up to the election.
Will Baraq’s utter failure as POTUS make the public more skeptical of MSM/SCM?
Only if conservatives educate them.
“In a sane world, Obama’s Jeremiah Wright connection would have ended his presidential campaign, right then and there. End of story, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.”
I agree. Over and over again, I find it truly remarkable the power of the media over the great majority of the population.
A month or so ago, the BP oil spill was a catastrophic event with truly world-ending possibilities. The oceans were going to die. The Louisiana and Florida coasts were going to be polluted wastelands for decades. Shrimp was going to quintuple in price. 10-20% of the US population would have to be moved to other sections of the country since the entire gulf coast was to become a live-in carcinogen and teratogen. And our only hope for salvation was to light off a nuke on the thing in what can only be called a “hail Mary” move that was nothing but a shot in the dark indicative of blinding ignorance.
And now? You don’t hear a single frickin word about it. Gone. It’s like it never happened!
