Wow, now they tell them
 
2008-12-01 05:16:33 PM
Charlie Gibson and George S. sure cheerlead Obama, right?

if by "cheerleading," submittroll, you mean "dragging him through the mud for months on reverend wright, tony rezko, madrassas, and bill ayers," then, yes, that's interesting.


jesus, you people have short memories. during the primaries, obama was raked over the coals. it was only during the general that mccain got the worse of the coverage - primarily because he ran a terrible campaign.

this republican crybaby shiat has just got to end, fellas. seriously.

I think the important thing to understand here, subby, is that the media acts as a monolithic entity. They all have the same motivations reporting styles, opinions, etc.
 
2008-12-01 05:36:35 PM
Why, it's almost as if the "MSM" is nothing more than a few companies trying to churn out stories and headlines that are most likely to gain readership and make money. But...no! Teh evil MSM is just a bunch of liberals! This cannot be!

FlashHarry: this republican crybaby shiat has just got to end, fellas. seriously.

They are intent on seeing how low they can drag their own brand. Somewhere there may be some drooling mess squatting in a ditch who still respects the Republican party, and that guy has to be driven away by more shrill cries and whining from the "party of personal responsibility".

Lemmings are pretty cool. Great swimmers. Tough little bastards too.

Who are you comparing them to?

I love how some libs try to say the msm is right wing. Awesome.

/not in the Bill Engvall sense however

This is bad news...for Obama.
 
2008-12-01 06:45:24 PM
If you use MSM in a serious sentence, the only way you could be more of a douchebag is if you say MSM with gelled hair, a spray-on tan, a white wife-beater, and a can of Natty Ice.

Seriously. You people are worse then guidos.

They also have a reputation that isn't at all in line with how they act in the real world.

Based on that, I'm guessing that he's comparing them to Democrats... Republicans have spent the last eight years doing their damndest to live down to their reputation.
 
2008-12-01 06:49:22 PM
I suggest droping a nuke on CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC headquarters and just starting over. They all get worse every year.

Obama's associations with Wright, Rezko, Ayers, the New Party, etc is legit.

Palin's inability to mention the name of a newspaper and dedicating 24/7 coverage of this, is not newsworthy.

Since they can't tell the difference, I just tell all white people they just elected Bill Cosby to the White House. Then they don't feel so scared.

DamnYankees: Charlie Gibson and George S. sure cheerlead Obama, right?

dunno about ol' george, but look up charlie gibson's interview of Palin, then watch the Obama one and tell me you don't see a difference.

"Doesn't it take some hubris to claim that you're experienced enough to lead this country?"

fair question to both, but he only asked it of one...
 
2008-12-01 06:52:21 PM
Who is this Obama fellow? I've heard of him once on the news, he took some kind of tour around the country. I wish the media would do more stories about him, so that I can get to know this man better.

verbal_jizm: I think the important thing to understand here, subby, is that the media acts as a monolithic entity. They all have the same motivations reporting styles, opinions, etc.

Well I am relieved to hear that.

It makes it much easier for me to understand, and more importantly, to easily direct my unrelenting and boiling blood-red hatred.

You know, without all that pesky thinking getting in the way.

Oh, I didn't think anyone thought lemmings actually committed mass suicide anymore.

I think he was trying to play off of the "Fark IndependentTM" thing, but it doesn't really work because "Independent" is a neutral or positive, and lemming, if he meant it the way you think, is a negative.

Fun fact: Lemming populations are currently being affected by warmer temperatures.

Link (new window)


By the way, I have a sneaking feeling Obama is kind of boring, and that's pissing the MSM off. After you get past the whole "first black!!!!" thing, he's a slightly dry policy wonk who doesn't really do a lot that's really newsworthy.

Here in the San Francisco Bay area the MSM hardly mentioned Obama's racist preacher, terrorist buddy, or slimy corrupt fund raiser. There was no raking over the coals. Not even a proper look into Obama's ties to these people. They covered his backside as best they could so they could elect the candidate they chose.

I learned more about Joe the Plumber in less than a week than I did about Obama the entire election.

The media is after two things: To sell advertising and to make money. To that end they will do anything and say anything that will attract attention. To attribute to them any other motivation, such as fair reporting and responsibility to the public is giving them more credit than they're due. The election is over. They'll start criticizing Obama whenever it becomes convenient and/or profitable to do so.
 
2008-12-01 06:56:03 PM
They really are getting tough on Obama with headlines like "Which Hero do you want Obama to be?"
 
2008-12-01 06:56:04 PM
Uhh... I don't care for Obama but even I can pick up by just scanning the the article that it is focused on how his presidency and legacy will play out and not "who he is".

/noticed they left out Carter

i agree that was legit (to a point - the ayers stuff was complete bullshiat) - and it was covered to death for most of the early part of this year.

and i also agree palin's not knowing newspapers was not legit. but her inadequacies went FAR beyond that. and remember, the first two weeks after her nomination, the same MSM tongued her asshole at every opportunity (ZOMG! mooseburgers!).

It is always great to see the same people who could not, would not find one decent thing to say about George Bush over the past 4 years turn into Obamaroids and go into panic mode when someone offends their Mahdi (PBUH). Having a snit fit and critisizing the submitter because he used the commonplace term "MSM". That is pretty desperate. Obama raked over the coals? The media was too frightened of being called "racist" to even mildly question what nefarious schemed and nefandou prevaricators Obama has been sliming himself up with. Foreign actors have admitted to illegally donating money to Obama but did any media source in this country even suggest he return illegal contributions?

You Obamaroids are going to be fun to watch the next 4 years while Bill and Hillary let him play president.

Swing and a miss. I think this shoots more in the direction you were aiming for.

Oh right, Obama thread.

Subby, I'm not sure what you and your party are trying to accomplish by all this whining, but the rest of us can put up with it no matter how long you're willing to dish it out. It's not like it's going to win you any elections.

so i take it you never watch cnn, msnbc, abc, fox, nbc, cbs or read the la times, the ny times, the wa po, the chicago tribune or usa today. or visit drudge, cnn.com, reuters or any other news sites.

got it.

This is looking so sweet. I do believe the boys pulled a double switch on the people. Bush and Obama are all Harvard buddy buddy now that the deal's done. It looks like the libtards were so ready to believe, the big boys handed them a sussy and they grabbed it with both hands. Obama, my man, you've changed. I guess even you couldn't believe that socialism horseshiat being spouted. On the macro and especially micro (being pissed about lowering of service standards) level socialism fails abysmally every time it's pulled out of the bag. The only thing that will work now is to nationalize our currency (call it in and cancel all foreign debt). That's going to happen eventually.

Am I the only one that sees them as not mutually exclusive? The logic being that because we barely know anything about him, we shouldn't have voted for him.

To me, the whole thing seemed like I had two options:

1) Play Russian roulette with a revolver that you know has all six chambers loaded.

2) Play Russian roulette with a revolver that has an unknown number of chambers loaded.

In that case, the "unknown" part is a pretty damn big perk, no? I would be more than happy to "cheerlead" the "unknown" in such a situation.
