Badger: But of course the media never bashed or made fun of the previous administration...

Two unfunded wars
Misinformation to gain support for war
Unfunded Medicare Part D
Thousands of American troops killed
Deals with companies with ties to the administration
Gay prostitute planted in Press Corps
Unintelligible

Versus:

Arugula
Elitist
Birth Certificate
No jacket/tie in the Oval Office
"Hip-hop BBQ"
Obama's baby-mama
"Thug" rapper Common
Long-Form Birth Certificate
Socialism

WTFDYW: The media finally realized that no matter how much they white nighted him that he was not going to f*ck them.

More liek "the incompetence couldn't be glossed over any more" amirite!

Neither Obama nor the media are liberal.

When are Democrats going to stop failing at messaging?

Badger: But of course the media never bashed or made fun of the previous administration...

That is not what the article stated. The article said relative to the others it collected data on Fartbongo is getting hammered. Sure, Bush took a few hits to the nuts but it was more from comedy shows not so much from MSM.

Mugato: He always has been beaten up by the media. From the birth certificate to the teleprompter thing, the things the media bashes him for are increasingly ridiculous when the last guy in office got a relatively free ride considering the monumental fark ups he caused during his tenure.

FTFY

Oh its the Pew report that used blog posts in the determination of negativity.

/pew, pew, pew

Fark Me Runnin:

It's funny that people LOVE to say how much of a farkup he is, but never have anything to back it up with.

It certainly doesn't have anything to do with him already being the President, and not being a very good one at that.

This is a ruse by the liberal media, don't be fooled.

Honestly, if there's one instant campaign reform we need, it would be restricting campaigning from June-November of an election year.

This is ridiculous. Pretty soon it's going to be 365 day a year running for office, if we're not there already.

I mean seriously, think of what could be accomplished if there wasn't this constant barrage of getting ready to unseat elected power a whole year away.

This could be bad... for Obama.

Mr. Obama's negative coverage could be explained in part by the fact that he is "covered largely as president rather than a candidate," Pew said - and coverage of him is linked to the struggling economy.

And

The tone analysis was conducted on two different samples. The first was of the coverage and commentary on more than 11,500 news outlets, based on their RSS feeds. While the content is text based, the material on various television news sites often closely resembled the stories that had aired on television, and in some cases were exact transcripts. The second was from hundreds of thousands of blogs. (Facebook and Twitter feeds were not included after researchers found that the political assessment offered there was typically quite brief or referred to blog or news content.)



So the actual president during a particularly unpleasant period of time for this country is getting more negative reports and blogs about him than any particular hypothetical future candidate from the current 6 or so republican candidates.

Yeah people generally blame the guy currently in charge more for things that are going on right now than they do the guy who may one day replace him.

It's not because of media bias. It's because the obama administration is the most incompetent in U.S. history.

Karma Chameleon: Neither Obama nor the media are liberal.

When are Democrats going to stop failing at messaging?

As soon as the American people stop supporting right wing politics and ideals and accept an alternate, egalitarian message.

So, probably some time after the next revolution.

Which, of course, will never happen.

Hmm, one of these is not like the others.

He's also the only dude in the thread who brought up Bush.

How many alts do you use, Badger? How many moderator accounts do you run?


And how does it feel to grasp at straws to justify the President's extreme negative portrayal in the media?

57 States. Teleprompters. Because Socialism.

And what statistical quirks did you have to harmonize to reach that conclusion?

relcec: medicare itself was intentionally never fully funded. that's why it's facing massive deficits. in order to sound like you know something and you aren't just repeating bullshiat you you hear but don't have the intellect to process, biatch about the part d not negotiating on prices, retard.

The negotiating part was bad, too. But you're kidding yourself if you don't think that was the bulk of the problem with Medicare Part D was the fact that it was a Trillion dollar unfunded mandate.

That simply cannot be true.

We all know the liberal leftist elite east-coast harvard lefties would get down on their knees and blow Obama if given a chance. and they run all of the medias.

additionally, SOROS SOROS SOROS SOROS

No, Mr. Simpson, don't take your anger out on me. Get back! Get back! Mr. Simpson -- nooo!

They always claim they are innocent.

Why did you just post my profile information in this thread?

Study finds that President Obama "has suffered the most unrelentingly and deserved negative treatment" .... finally the "liberal media" seems to be getting somewhat realistic perspective of incompetency.

WTFDYW: The media finally realized that no matter how much they white nighted him that he was not going to f*ck them.

that and with 9.1% unemployment and no improvement in sight maybe he is not the one we have been waiting for.

Pew says it looked at coverage from more than 11,500 news outlets

11,500 is an awful lot of "media" sources.

Most people claim "the mainstream media" slants liberal. Not sure what all falls in there but I would suspect, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Time magazine, Newsweek, various other large newspapers and news magazines, maybe popular culture TV programs, the music industry, and Hollywood.

I doubt many would argue that any of the above are conservative. Fox News is about the only one that gets that label (and maybe country music).

Having multiple policy scandals with fast and furious, solyndra, and his jobs act being shot down in the Senate will do that. Perry, Romney, etc aren't in charge of anything news worthy. How about we compare apples to apples and use the coverage in his 2008 primary verse republicans in the current primary.

Tyee: incompetency.

Ah yes, the new hotness since your other failed descriptions (commie/fascist/socialist/muslim/Kenyan) you threw at the wall didn't work.

I'm just trying to figure out who's been submitting all the ridiculous links in the Politics tab lately.

I used you as a counterpoint to Badger's ridiculous number of greenlights. Your posts are almost always well-thought out and reasonable. 2568 greenlights is ridiculous, that's 5 greenlights a week for 10 years. I also notice that you post pretty frequently. I rarely see anything Badger posts.


And about the article, yeah, President Obama might receive more bad publicity than the candidates on account of his high office. Thing is, he's getting criticized for arugula, "fancy mustard", and farking binder clips. It's not like he's lied us into a war that enriches all his buddies. Or "lost" $60B in said war. He's getting way too much shiat for the dumbest stuff imaginable.

Jake Havechek: Only abject stupidity implies that the media is owned in whole by flaming liberals.

Yeah, Rupert Murdoch. The libbiest lib who ever libbed a lib, that one.

relcec: medicare itself was intentionally never fully funded. that's why it's facing massive deficits

TRANSLATION: The GOP has been planning to play the "we need to cut Medicare/SS because its broke" card for years, even to the point of actually making it broke themselves.

I can feel it in my gut. It must be true.
