Legitimate question that we no longer bother to ask. We're now at the point of assuming the media is teeming with partisan lefties...and simply accept it.
But it really should be asked. I'd love to hear an MSM-type attempt answer the question -- then justify his answer.
First, I'd suggest it's because, having been instrumental in Obama's winning both the primary and the general in 2008, the media is married to him. So, to some degree, it's in defense of a prior investment that causes them to double-down on his apparent incompetence.
But why did they make the investment in the first place? At the outset of the 2008 campaign, the media was squarely in Hillary's corner. Why did they abandon her and defect to Obama?
I suspect they probably recognized that they had been used mercilessly by the Clintons -- and they may have resented it.
Similarly, Soros appeared to support Clinton at the start of the cycle. But he switched to Obama at an early point -- for reasons that aren't entirely clear.
What was it that caused both the primary Democrat money man, George Soros, and the Democrat enablers in the media to change horses in mid-stream -- from Hillary to Obama,, en masse?
I submit that it probably wasn't "race" -- there's not a lot of difference between "first black" and "first woman". It wasn't "cool". Nor was it "electability" -- Hillary would've crushed the inept McCain, as well.
So, what was it that caused the media and George Soros to abandon Hillary, gang up on her and, uncritically, line up behind the rank amateur -- Barack Obama?
I suspect the answer is a more profound one than you might initially suspect.
Obama was weaker and more of a puppet for Soros. Everyone in the Media is weak and afraid to lose their jobs, if they go against a Democrat. The credibility is gone. The thrill is gone. Maybe Soros wants to destroy the MSM using Obama to do what he wants. It is propoganda. Obama likes to be used. The MSM does what it is told by the money people. The country falls apart.
However, if you really want to understand, go read lots df archived hillbuzz.com . These are politically passionate conservative gay guys in Chicago who were Hillary supporters and left the DNC after the 2008 primaries. It's some of the best political reading, ever.
