Is the Media Unfair to McCain?
 
Go to http://www.msn.com and vote.

Until McCain is portrayed by the media as an 1980's IRA terrorist and his wife a militant white power supporter, they have little to complain about.

JMHO....

I'm an Obama supporter and I'll admit, I think McCain isn't getting as much coverage. Of course...he's just more of the same so it really isn't news. lol

Of course they are, he's an old white Republican.

McCain is yesterday's news. His time for greatness has long since passed. He needs to concede the election now and get it over with.

I saw him on the news today with the elder Bush. The ex-president looked younger, weird.

Maybe, or maybe the stress of running for the presidency is showing on McCain. I really noticed the elder Bush's hairstyle, combed down like bangs almost, to one side. But maybe the wind was just blowing it down that way, they were at his place in Maine.

Ma'am,
In what ways has the media been unfair to McCain?

The media propped McCain UP for years! And he played right into them. Now Obama can do no wrong and is indeed The Messiah in their eyes. Just watch the rock tour overseas that he is engaged in right now.

Yes they are.

JMHO....

That New Yorker cover of Barak and Michelle Obama was actually a very clever piece of Pro-Obama propaganda. The New Yorker's stated intention was to show how they believed "The Right" had "demonized" the Obamas.

By going so far overboard they have effectively silenced the well founded criticisms about the Obamas past anti-American statements.

The media are operating as "527" campaign groups. Although, in fairness to the media, most of them pay their taxes while the 527's themselves just rake in the dough and smear anyone who speaks out against them.

Well, lets face it, the media is all about image. Mr. Obama is young, Mr. McCain is not. Mr. Obama is a Democrat, most give favorable press to Democrats.

Like I posted earlier, Mr. McCain is an old white Republican. Mr. Obama is half black, younger, and a Democrat.

The issues really don't matter to the media.

We live in a Rock Star society and Obama is simply the Rock Star of the hour...much like Bill Clinton was compared to Bob Dole.

and who made it so? when you have "serious" media figures having crazy things happen in their pants (and telling the world about it) when they hear Barak speak....well I will let the reader finish that sentance.

On the first day of the Democratic primary, Barak Obama stood in dead last as far as "qualified to be President" was concerned.

yet somehow that NEVER got translated in the Media.


I will be honest, I wouldnt be NEARLY as worried about our future if Bill Richardson was about to get sworn in as president of the United States.

Add Joe Biden to that list too..

At this point, even Hillary would be a better option.

Barak will win, and we will reep the whirlwind.

I'm not sure that there is a leader in this election at all, on either ticket.

In all fairness, at about that time McCain wasn't atop the GOPs list either.

ahh, but he wasnt UNQUALIFIED either... John McCain to my chagrin (sp) won but clearly he is/was qualified to be president.

Barak Obama is decidedly UNQUALIFIED.

decidedly, i mean come on he doesnt even know where his head is on issues, listen to him without a prompter it is as if he wants to turn and say what is my answer for this again, lol

Bush's policies aren't very popular. McCain's policies are so close to Bush's I think they'd loose ratings by covering him. lol

Re: Is the Media Unfair to McCain?
 
i think bush is an honorable man doing what he thinks is best for our country, i applaud him for that in spite of the whiners and nay sayers, mccain is a leader something bho isnt, dt

Aquila 07-22-2008 01:20 PM

Re: Is the Media Unfair to McCain?
 
I think Bush is terribly corrupt, like most politicians. Obama's policies make more sense than McCain's. Most Americans have tried conservo-nomics...and I think the majority are doing worse today than they were before Bush. We don't need more Bushlike policies.

Most people don't like Obama because his black or because they think he's a muslim. There are valid concerns with his economics, because he is more socialist economically than McCain. Either way...sometimes when driving I have to take right and left turns. Right now, I think the majority of Americans want to steer left a little.

That doesn't make it right. Look at all of the hard work and sacrifice that has been done by American and Coolition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last several years and when the media did pay attention they did so only long enough to highlight the antics of a few criminals.

And now when Barry does his campaign swing the slobbering media fawn shamelessly all over him. It's really disgusting. How many profiles of Medal of Honor receipients have recieved even a small fraction of the attention Barry's one trip got? And who is it that has done the most for freedom in those lands?

I didn't say it was right, but it's just the way our society is. If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie go over to visit in Iraq, they will get way more press coverage than John McCain or any Medal of Honor recipient as well.
Brittany Spears going to a salon and shaving her head gets more coverage than the entire war. :crazy

All due respect Bro - can you name a single "Bush" economic policy? Can you name or identify anything that he has done that is uniquely a "Bush economic policy?" All he's done is react to 9/11.

All the fiscal moves (with the exception of his tax rebate and the huge investment in security) were set in motion by laws passed in the Clinton years. And even Bush's tax rebate itself was largely fueled by the economic downturn following 9/11.

I find it hard to see how you can complain about Bush's economic policies - unless you can identify something for us here.

And your statement "Bush is terribly corrupt"... prove it! Back it up. I'm calling you out on this one, Aquila my bro. Give me some charges of corruption or I'll tell everyone that you're a bubblehead.
