Will the Media Carry Obama to Victory in November?
___________________________________________
Well Willie Mitty is doing his very very best to aid the media in that direction...
Lots of ads full of easily reputed lies about his political past..
and laughingly gifts of soundbite bombs err blossoms for Obamas use...
The Democrat incumbant hasnt had it this easy since FDR ran...
The bastards will move heaven and earth to bring this about. God Help the USA
The comments on this thread are really weird. The only other place I have seen such baseless arguments against Romney is Daily Kos and other leftist trash heaps.
FR must be infiltrated because these disgusting comments do not reflect the good conservative FR folks I have met at Tea party events.
IMO the media that have far more influence than the partisan MSM are the self-defined "apolitical," "non-partisan" mostly entertainment media.
Independents are the largest portion of voters, outnumbering either Democrats or Republicans. Depending upon the type they don't pay much attention to the MSM.
A "dealignment trend" has created what Russell Dalton calls the Apartisan American; to wit, the independent voter. The impact of apartisans is critical to the 2012 election and the future. Fine. But I am concerned about Dalton's fourth category.
Dalton id'd four categories. The first two have greater political savvy and "are best viewed as either cognitive partisans or apartisans, depending upon partisan attachments." I understand apartisan to mean that they pay attention but they do not ID with a political party.
A third category has lower interest and skills and is categorized as ritual partisans. That kind used to vote for everyone in the Party with just one mark. That's the way I interpret it.
Here's the "dummy" I am talking about. The apolitical independent.
The others will be too savvy to be swayed by "nonpartisan" media no matter how hard "nonpartisan" media try. They will have knowledge of the other issues vis-a-vis Obama and will not be controlled by the "nonpartisan" media.
No doubt in my mind that there are way more "nonpartisan" media that favor the Left than favor the Right.
The opinions about Obama, Democrats, and Republicans are mine.
The book is The Apartisan American: Dealignment and Changing Electoral Politics Russell J Dalton.
I guess I'm saying that if movies and TV shows can slip products like soft drinks into the picture and get paid for it.. it damn certain that Obama lovers slip dialog into the feature that honors PRESIDENT! Obama and belittles Obama's opponents.
No.
Used car salesmen and 'the press' are trusted about equally... luckily their ears are made of tin - the New York Times - - clueless...
Response: Yes.
Comment: The MSM will be a major player in the re-election of "The Divine One." Other major factors will be huge bloc voters, intimidation, voter fraud, millions upon millions in funds, a weak Republican candidate who is best described as "Obama Lite," the vice addiction of many Americans, the loss by Americans of the necessary ability to exclude.
The media has always been biased, expressing the views of its private owners, but the alternative is worse, government control of the media.
It can only happen if the American electorate is a mob of ignorant *ss-hats, greedy Leftists busily sucking away at the public teat, and pro-Black racists.
In other words, yes, it’ll probably happen.
