THE MEDIA WILL BACK MCCAIN 08
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 04:36 PM by monicaaida
It doesn't matter who wins the nomination, it's like saying whoever throws up a coin, because the media feels sorry for mccain, and buys into his indie crap, mccain will have bush policies, the media wants hillary to win because mccain will have an easier time, because as likability goes so goes the pres., obama will be the hillary clinton of the general election

4. There's more than one "media" now -- lots of people get their news from the net
The net has yet to be controlled by the MSM, though they're trying.

6. USA Today has mrs mclame on the cover of their paper today
the woman behind the campaign, or something like that.

They always support the RNC - remember 2004, how kerry and edwards hardly were given air time.

7. I'm not ready to hand my democracy to the media just yet.....
certainly "urgency of the now" is one of the things Obama says for a reason, but thus far, considering how much he has been able to raise, and how the media hasn't been able to knock him out although they have tried is a good thing.

If Obama can get into the office, I'm sure that one of the first things he will look at is the FCC......

Bottomline is that this may be our last chance, but till we are all dead, I'm gonna give it my best shot.

11. Well - Derrrrrrrrr
FFS they will "support" whoever their bosses hope will win and in general that will be McCain. One or two voices will back Obama to show "balance". The difference from the past is that now they are fighting something bigger than TV and Radio and that is the internet and the internet is Obama territory.

About 2 weeks from the end of the campaign there will be a a shift, as long as Obama is leading, and the News pimps will shift to support Obama in the hope of currying favour with the incoming President.
