Harold Ford, Jr.: Republicans Wrong To Believe Obama Enjoys Great Favor Amongst Media
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/23/2012 5:14:08 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Of all the Morning Joe regulars, I find Harold Ford, Jr. the least interesting. Ever on the lookout for his next opportunity, the fiercely ambitious Ford is firmly of the "my good friend" so-and-so school of politics, constantly hedging his bets and finding a way to praise or agree with virtually everyone.

So it was an exception this morning when the former Dem congressman from Tennessee actually said something of note, if only for its sheer silliness. Ford somehow managed to maintain a straight face while claiming the media doesn't strongly favor Barack Obama.

Since running for office hasn’t panned out well for Harold Ford, Jr. lately, how about a career as a stand-up comic? Ping to Today show list.

Oh where does the list start...

The picture is in serious need of a barf alert.

Hey Harry!

Would the Media have EVER let a Republican advance his political career without revealing his academic record?
Or steal a publicly held company and give it to the Union?

Do I see a pattern developing here?

Maybe the O admin sees how well it works for Gingrich going after the media.

Just this weekend we saw Dowd write a more scathing review of Obama.

hmmn? I don’t think this will work very well for Obama because it dosn’t take a genius to know the perss has been in the tank with Oboingo from the beginning.

People the media views even MORE favorable than Obama:

1) Castro
2) The late,great rock star Che Guerra
3) Margret Sanger
4) If we could ONLY have a leader like Hu Jintao...
5) Chavez
6) Robert Mugumbe
7) Nelson Mandela
8) Anyone from Gay Hollywood
9) Michael Moore
10) Satan

This is the same little idiot that went to a locals “white” bar just before an election to say he was a regular and that the “whites” love him. Nobody in the place knew him and he was the only semi black in there.

I am glad someone understood what he said, He stumbled along so badly, I missed his point entirely.

Wht was his point anyway besides saying the Media wsn’t owned by Obama.?

The truth of the matter is that liberals and many the Left Wing Media don’t believe it either and those that do know it to be true think it is justified to save the country from the extreme right ( their definition of anybody with sense)

No matter how much proof you offer Left Wing Brain Washing has so ingrained their psyche that they can’t change

Harold Ford, Jr.looks and acts like a con man and is from a long line of con men.

I’m so happy that Freepers watch TV news and then tell us about it. That way, I never have to turn one of our tv’s on, except to watch a movie on Netflix once in a while...........or maybe something on HGTV.

Harold is one son of the black criminal Ford family of Memphis.
I thought he had finally dried up and blown away.

The whole family always has been trash, with the attitude that
society owes them everything.

FYI, my favorite programs on HGTV are the ones featuring over-priviledged house purchasers turning their noses up at overly expensive houses because the paint is the wrong color, or the appliances are "old".

That’s right, though I would list #10 as “Lucifer”, since that’s the name Saul Alinsky listed in his dedication of “Rules For Radicals”.
