    Why is the Media pushing for Obama so hard?
    There are serious discussions about how the media has treated/is treating Obama and his candidacy. Why are important things about him, meant to better inform us, not getting out? Why are we being led to believe that he is the only one who should win the presidency? You can do something about this!

    Find out and then Take Action!

    I don't even listen to any TV or Radio news unless it is FOX.

    Anything else, unless you are a socialist, is a total waste of time.

    People have a right to know about a presidential candidate to become better informed about the issues and to know who to vote for. The media is not informing us about the important issues we need to be apprised about. Why? And speaking about "socialist", for more on the ramifications of this important matter, please visit the "Politics" section and look at the thread "What is the connection between Obama and the Communist Party?" Has FOX brought this out yet? This should be a Big Wake-Up Call for many in this country!

    Media, television and radio, is about ENTERTAINMENT... and the goal is to get GOOD RATINGS.

    Obama is hot, Obama is new; people want to see him and get to know him.

    No one is interested in McCain or Bush; all *BAD NEWS*, *no hope* and *ENDLESS WAR*.

    Obama speaks of CHANGE... ending Bush's Iraqi War and improving America. :D That's hot!

    I personally think that Obama is a puppet. I just don't know whose; Soros, maybe? As for him being the candidate of change, that is what you will have left after he gets all his taxes passed. Just change, no bills!

    Perhaps NK can suggest a news outlet that is unbiased. We have a shortage of them here.

    I think Media is good for one thing and one thing only... bringing new info to us. We get to make what we want of it. I am guilty of this at times, but there are people who wish to leave it at that. Meaning they do not investigate any further and take the medias word for it... That is why there are so many people supporting him, they are taking the medias word for it. At least that is how I see it. I am scared to death to vote for him. I want to believe he can "CHANGE" for the better, I just don't buy it that's all. As all of my right winger friends say, when Obama gets voted in, that will be the day to rejoice, we will all have cake and ice cream, the sky will always be blue, and the weather perfect, we will be able to say what we want and all of us will still get along, we will all have enough money and medical benefits with no worries and it will be a dream world! I know that is all sarcastic, and I apologize for that. I agree that he seems interesting and like everyone else I would love to see more of him to see who he really is. But as it stands for my opinion, I agree with Gal, he is sort of like a puppet.

    Ohhh and Sky, I would like to see the headline of that first article instead of "since when does the American media get to force feed us our presidents" I would love to see it read... "since when do us Americans LET the American media force feed us our presidents."
    I have a huge problem when others are blamed for something we have complete control over. You just don't let them force feed you, you smarten up our people to investigate to build their own opinions.

    I believe that. Is it too late to stop, can we fight for our Country to have it return, I believe so. As bad as it sounds, there aren't enough Americans willing to suffer any more... whether it be for one thing or another, we all have gotten very comfy with this America... how sad is that? I squirm every day.
    NK, I know you are a big Obama fan. I have been reading through (some links I have to skip over because of limited time) But just coming here with many opinions, I still can't seem to see him as safe.

    The news media don't lie by what they tell you (usually!) The way they lie is by NOT telling you all the facts, by telling only what they want you to think about any given subject.

    McCain and Obama have contrasting economic plans - Los Angeles Times

    Notice how they come up with MCCain counterpoints but none with Obama?

    How does Obama pay for all the supposed tax relief to the "middle class" while at the same time raising taxes on business? What tax relief do you need when your income is zero, because the company laid you off because of the anti-business policys of Obama?

    Start, That's exactly what I, for one, have been doing since the media is not scrutinizing the top candidates as they should. There are some here who have even resorted to cursing, can you believe, when articles on Obama come up but that only makes me strongly believe we are on the right path, otherwise there would not be so much dissent if there was nothing to those articles. And of course, Obama's spinmeisters just hate it when confronted with the articles people need to take a serious look at! And I haven't even yet begun, so, please stay tuned for further mysteries!
