.... could be hurting the Democratic candidate's chances in November?
This is NOT a thread about your candidate. It IS a thread about the media fucking with us yet again.
***Just as an example***, let's take this "elitist" and "bitter" crap that they've been discussing. They couch reports in terms that seem to favor/sympathize with Obama and show Clinton to be the one pushing crap out there. That may or may not be true and is NOT the subject of this post.
What IS the subject of this post is how such (non)"Newz" hurts us. They keep the story about one candidate alive by saying how unfair it is ...... over and over and over ..... elitist ..... elitist ..... bitter ...... bitter ...... bitter ...... until it actually starts to grow its own legs.
Obama is an elitist.
Meanwhile, Clinton is portrayed to her stereotype ...... the mean, cackling harpie putting out tons of shit in which to bury her opposition. Not very flattering. But, just like the elitist label, repeat often enough and it starts to stick.
This is but one example of a story that is fresh in the news.
The point here is that not all news - even favorable news - is all that good for you. If we had a media that was more Walter Cronkite than Simon Cowle, we might be better off.
The media, fellow Democrats, is NOT our friend ..... even when they appear to favor us and even when we cheer abut the story they're telling.
Right now, Obama seems to be getting the good press.
I am not so sure that what 'seems to be' really 'is'.
