Patrick “Of the two of them Obama demonstrates a better leadership mentality.” Yeah, right. His brainwashing of children for example. Just beautiful! (Sarcasm) Good grief! Of the two of them McCain is honest and Obama lies without blinking an eyeball. Go ahead and vote for him and just wait and see what happens to you if he gets elected.

Wordsmith, great job on pointing out the deception of the MSM. They have indeed become an enemy. The NYT’s is already attacking Joe the Plumber (no surprise) and I’m certain the liberal blogs are doing the same.

Patrick,
Thats not true. McCain keeps saying that he has the experience, he has the record, he knows where he is going, he is ready to lead, etc. You’ve being listening too much of Obama’s bullshit.

It is Obama who keeps saying that with McCain it will be the same as Bush. I think you’ve got your facts wrong.

The candidates have a major difference in their leadership styles, i’ve noticed: McCain tends to say, “Vote for me because the other guy can’t get it done” while Obama says, “Vote for me because I can get it done.” … of the two of them Obama demonstrates a better leadership mentality

Even the Media talking heads thought McCain won. I missed that one Word-, but I was up til 6AM bouncing through the reviews and the worst I really heard them say was “Too little, too late.” Which is a definate nod to McCain. Of course we expected them to continue counting him out, but on Fox Huckabee I think sized it up best. To paraphrase, since I can’t find the actual quote; If they are saying McCain can’t pull this out at the last minute, they are making a big mistake. As someone who ran against him I oughtta’ know. McCain loves coming from behind and winning it all at the last minute. It’s his nature.

Media bias can take on so many different forms. Some of it is an addiction to sensationalism, “if it bleeds, it leads”; but others are political biases.

Today, I saw the cover the LATimes, briefly in passing, and the headline I read said: “McCain failed to seal the deal”.

It might be true. But why shape/reinforce/create the perception? So many other headlines could have also been given about last night’s debate.

Dark times indeed. I had done a study of sorts about the relationship between the media and the White House – what they report on it. There was an interview of a woman who flat-out said that the media has its own agenda – that’s why they frame their questions the way they do, that’s why they word their reports the way they do. Controversy sells; hateful remarks/dirt sells. Truth doesn’t. And the media, being in a highly competitive field, do all they can to make sure that they’ve got the headlines before anyone else. They don’t care about true journalism or the truth at all – all they care are the sales.

To bad we can’t sue the media, i mean seriously… i feel like they took my civil rights away. They completely distort the facts and twist them in a way where essentially they are picking the president. Its down right scary the medias power over the public. Here in NYC i hear the average joe parrot rumors as facts. One person i know quoted John Stuart as if he was a real journalist.

This is dark times we live in… dark times.

Luva: That is exactly why our family never watches the “analyses” after the debates. The media wants to make up our minds for us . That is part of the problem. Too many people are too lazy or dumb to make up their own mind.

its funny how we all hear the two of them speak and their answes to the questions and come away with different accounts. my friend and i were watching, having adinner and drinks, and listening, we were shouting at the tv even. we both believed that mccain scored the most points on every issue, that he answered questions while obama was running in circles around the table. all the healthcare questions she had backup to becauswe of her job and she is floored by todays reaction in the media. we heard the debate, we watched intently and we came away with a far different opinion of than the media.

“I didn’t witness any violent or inappropriate behavior at the event. I didn’t hear anyone shout, “Kill him!”
“I didn’t see anything remotely like what the mainstream media have been reporting.”

Neither did I!
