In other news, the sky is blue, the ocean is wet and a Cathoilic bear took a dump somewhere in the woods.

The MSM is amoral, and doesn't give a flying flip that it is.

Pew blames McCain with a statement that in essence says that he just keeps doing bad stuff.

“Much of the increased attention for McCain derived from actions by the senator himself, actions that, in the end, generated mostly negative assessments,” the study found.

In their world, the negative assessment is just the only natural one. They see no bias or a postive way the story could have been written

“In many ways, the arc of the media narrative during this phase of the 2008 general election might best be described as a drama in which John McCain acted and Barack Obama reacted.”

And the media helpfully explained why McCain was wrong, even if 50% of the country could have written it with less slant.

Oh, I'm so glad we've cleared that up. Now we can expect some real fairness in our reporting.
Okay, I'll just give up on that idea right quick.

I'd be surprised if the positive percentage is really as high as 14.

So do these numbers reveal a pro-Obama bias? Not necessarily, according to the study’s authors.

Paging Mr. Gall. Mr. Unmitigated Gall.

So this is Zombie's big announcement?
;)

The only thing harder to deal with than a moonbat loss in this election would be, of course, a moonbat win.

I get the sense that reporters are afraid to actually write reasonably rational pieces on McCain/Palin out of fear for their jobs.

Rather, they say, the statistics “do offer a strong suggestion that winning in politics begat winning coverage, thanks in part to the relentless tendency of the press to frame its coverage of national elections as running narratives about the relative position of the candidates in the polls

Got it? They ran twice as many puff pieces on Obama as McCain because Obama is leading in the polls.

Then as polls tighten and we prepare for a shocking McCain victory, we get genius like this.

A Drag on the Ticket?

Yet more proof that the media are in the tank for in bed with Obama.

Yeah, they do not want to get plumbered. . .

The question I have, given that Pew both blames McCain for the abundance of negatives (He just does more wrong!) and claims the media takes its cues from the polls and runs twice as many good stories on the leader, given these clearly BS rationales, why do we even believe their judgment on what was positive, neutral, and negative?

In examining tone, the project’s authors wrote that they took a “cautious and conservative approach,” only judging a story positive or negative if the slant was very clear.

So they only called a hit piece on McCain a hit piece when the slant was clear TO THEM.

Clear to the people who don't see that this shows bias to Obama.

What I'm saying is, I think the numbers are way worse for negative on McCain and positive for Obama.

didn't google endorse Obama this week?

The opposite is true actually. In theory, the media should be more critical of the frontrunner. That has been the model for many, many elections. Bad news sells, and there isn't any reason to say bad things about the guy no one intends to vote for in the first place.

re: #20 JammieWearingFool

Well, I think that's a valid point. My Republican family vowed to vote Obama because of Palin. She was mentioned in a lot of high profile defections from Hitchens, Buckley, Powell, etc. I know a lot of people really adore her here but she's a major factor in my own decision not to vote this election.

Also, on a related note, in my daily Seattle Times, no fewer than THREE articles on how socialism is already a part of our American Experience and we should, therefore, not fear MORE socialism.

You Heard It Here First (Coyote Blog):

I said it a couple of weeks ago:

Economists will be poking through this situation years from now, and may well find the bunkers empty of WMD's. Another trillion dollar commitment and unprecedented expansion of executive power ramrodded on the back of fear mongering and chicken-little crisis declaration.

And even before that on October 1

Well, they're picking through the bunkers now, and its not at all clear the threat was what it was portrayed to be. The Fed of Minneapolis debunks four myths (pdf)

Myth 1. Bank lending to non…nancial corporations and individuals has declined sharply.
Myth 2. Interbank lending is essentially nonexistent.
Myth 3. Commercial paper issuance by non…nancial corporations has declined sharply and rates have risen to unprecedented levels.
Myth 4. Banks play a large role in channeling funds from savers to borrowers.

Apparently, others are starting to make the WMD comparison.

A couple of examples below. First, sure looks like all the inter-bank lending has dried up:

(See first link in this post for the graph)

Yep, and no one is lending to Main Street businesses either, so we better do something!

(See first link in this post for the graph)

Just to avoid confusion, that upward spike began in September, well before the Lehman bankruptcy. Similar stories in commercial paper, consumer lending, leases, etc. See the whole thing.

Just posted that on the old thread, but I'll post my comment here too....

Where do they get this BULLshit from? If it wasn't for Palin, I wouldn't be voting FOR the McCain ticket, just AGAINST the Obama ticket.

It's amazing how so many people are just absolutely convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that tens of millions of their fellow Americans are racist haters of the worst kind, ready to don sheets, burn crosses, and form lynch mobs at the drop of a hat. And how they so readily accept the claim, without a shred of evidence, that the McCain/Palin campaign is both overtly and subtly (socialist=black!) inciting racist hatred.

The overwhelming majority of the commenters on Lewis Diuguid's ridiculous posting in Midwest Voices righteously slammed Mr. Diuguid, but there were a few exceptions, like this one:

America's disgust with racism grows. Wonderful!
Submitted by joshlamp on October 22, 2008 - 3:06am.
Fortunately the country more and more is seeing through obvious republican racism and is saying "Stop it. It is distasteful. It is hate. Hate is murder. We will not vote for you if you are a hater or stoke hatred." Thank you America.

Stop it? STOP WHAT? Where is the racism? If it's so "obvious," why does Mr. Diuguid feel the need to explain to the clueless that socialist=black?

“I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know.”

Biden's condition:

Biden, now 66, underwent major brain surgery in 1988 to repair two aneurysms, one of which was bleeding and causing intense pain. The situation was so dire that a priest gave Biden the last rites of the Catholic church Church before his surgery.

Oh, I saw that connection a LONG time ago. Believe me, these people know exactly what they're doing. They talk to each other, they watch what the others are doing. The tactics are almost identical. It's also easy to see the roots in Nazi and Soviet Communist propaganda. And the way the media prevents Israel from defending herself is quite similar to the way it's trying to prevent McCain from going on the attack.

I gotta say that I'm really disconcerted about the media lately. Charles, In the short time I've known your site you've always seemed a moderate, before the past couple of weeks I've seen a great change in your behavior: you never once explicitly said that there there was a liberal bias, acting more like a stoic media watchdog, but lately the media's bias has been so egregious it has you exasperated so I wonder how much further the MSM can dig their hole?

We've seen the same thing with terrorists.

First, western leftists denounce terrorists, but claim they are only a tiny minority. Then, the leftists begin making the terrorists' arguments. After people are used to them, they bring out the terrorists like Hamas, explain what they stand for, and people think, "That doesn't sound so unreasonable. We've been hearing the same things for years from our teachers and news pundits."

A 1987 poll on the US Constitution by the Boston Globe magazine reported almost half the population of the United States believe that the U.S. Constitution is the source of the phrase, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." The hidden Marxists have done an excellent job educating our children while pretending they didn't exist.

The issue with most of those 'high profile defections' is that none of them could state any logical reason that Obama was better. Is anti-theist Hitchens more into Black Liberation Theology, than he is Pentacostals? Or is he like Buckley who simply refused to believe that Obama believes in what his pastor of two decades was preaching, and is a secret atheist? Buckly wasn't high profile, but he is counting on Obama being a secret Conservative, which makes oh so much sense. Powell decided on Obama before Palin was selected, and before the economic meltdown and then lied about those being a reasons for not supporting McCain. Obviously the people he got talking points from didn't work out the whole chronology thing before putting him on air.

Why should THAT matter? Mr. Obama simply outsourced the worked for expediency sake because he is all about doing things efficiently. He made sure he outsourced it to Americans instead of Bush who would have picked someone from Columbia or China! Plus, this freed up time for him to work on very important things like Big Plans To Save the World in 10 Days or Less, and Economics for the Nonsensical. I think he had to go to work or something a few days, too. I am sure he told Mr. Ayers the jist of what he wanted the story to say when they passed each other pulling out of the driveway.

Sounds like you are a pro at this! ;)

The Fourth Estate needs checks and balances. The blogosphere cannot do this effectively yet, because the MSM still has too much singular power over what people read and see. The blogosphere is so fragmented that, with a few exceptions here and there (Drudge Report - though not a blog - on Monica's dress, Charles/LGF on The Memo), it has little impact on people at large.

If the Dems want fair play over the airwaves, there should be fair play in the major news-gathering and news-reporting organizations as well. It's an impossible thing, though: can you imagine some unbiased FCC regulatory committee on bias that fines the AP or the NYT for its biased reporting?

The problem is not opinion pieces. WaPo has George Will and Charles Krauthammer as columnists, and CNN has Glenn Beck, but that kind of supposed fair play is window dressing, since everyone reads opinion pieces as opinion and watches Beck on CNN as much as entertainment as anything else.

These are conservatives on the payroll of liberal MSM outlets as token conservatives, but they don't influence news-gathering and news-reporting. They are just pundits, and the MSM believes that by having a few conservative pundits they can claim they are not biased. Meanwhile, their reporting is as biased as ever, and that's what has the propagandistic impact, since it is presented and swallowed by too much of the public as "objective news."

It is the basic, bread-and-butter "objective" reporting that is corrupted in the MSM. The reporting is not reporting but not-so-thinly veiled airing of liberal biases, all to often, whether it is about Israel, Islam or McCain. It's the old "a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth" problem.

My hope is that 4-years of Obama and a Democratic Congress will so discredit the MSM that it will collapse or be forced to change through free-market mechanisms, i.e., declining readership/viewership and so declining ad revenue. Maybe then we'll have some journalists who are actually objective and not just boosters dispatching from the "front lines," writing the articles and reporting the news on TV.

I am quite serious about this and I am astounded that no attention has been paid to it. People with bilateral prefrontal damage can appear very functional and in fact, lead pretty normal lives. It can be tough to bring out the neurological deficits (unlike budget deficits) but a neuropsychological test would show it. And the behavior he has displayed through much of this campaign--and his career--are consistent with it. Someone like this could be a fine legislator, but maybe not such a good executive...

And also said "I ask in the name of Jesus Christ that I am an instrument of God's will.

Which I also find interesting and have commented about more than I should.

Exceptions exist, of course, but I see conservative women well groomed with styled hair, well dressed and not afraid to don something feminine, make up applied, legs and armpits shaved and appropriate undergarments worn. The other side appears full of unshaven, unkempt hair all over the place, no bra (when the REALLY REALLY ought to have an industrial strength one in place), no make up and masculine outfits or frumpy something or others with birkenstocks no matter what the occasion.

O'Reilly all over CNN reporter who skewed the article on Palin from the National Review. We had an earlier thread about this.

Y'know, I watched that entire interview, and overall, it was pretty good except for that cherry-picking bit of crap (I wonder if Palin has been briefed on the facts yet). The interviewer treated Palin respectfully and Palin presented herself very well, making lots of great points and answering the questions on HER terms. For example, when he asked her, "Wasn't the bailout a form of socialism?" she did not answer the question immediately, but hammered on how we could not afford to go down the socialist path, but then said, "Now, going back to the bailout, we were dealing with a crisis..." or something like that ... emphasizing that the bailout was an emergency fix, not a manifestation of a basic economic philosophy of socialism. And she got the reporter to make a candid admission ... if she had made the statement Biden had made about Obama being "tested," "you guys would have hammered me," to which he responded, "You're right! You're right."

re: #208 Silhouette

0bama might talk the talk but Palin walks the walk.

Palin carries Trig to term.

0bama says "punished with a baby"

Who would protect the innocent, should they have power?

re: #206 Ojoe

many women do the same, It's that she stands by what she believes and still is strong, smart enough to fight off the beasts of the world.

That is why i really admire her.

Sorry, I only saw accusations of bigotry so I scrolled over. If there was a question I missed it.

re: #27 Meremortal

I'll take a wild stab at Zombie's upcoming tale. The Undead One has discovered a passage written by Ayers in 1974 which also appears virtually verbatim in Obama's second book.

Media coverage can easily explain that one away: The Messiah went back in time by flying around the earth real fast and wrote his memoirs before Ayers did, and Mr Ayers is guilty of plagiarism

re: #130 mama winger

Let's call it what it is.

People don't like the fact that Sarah Palin is a conservative Pro-life Christian.

I'm saying it out loud.

/it's certainly not a contest between a sitting State Governor and some socialist thats spent 143 days in the Senate in the last four years

re: #43 psyop

Also, on a related note, in my daily Seattle Times, no fewer than THREE articles on how socialism is already a part of our American Experience and we should, therefore, not fear MORE socialism.

Yeah, right!
(Sarcasm)

Great quotes in an article by Kyle-Anne Shiver over at Amer. Thinker:
"As for me and my Catholic vote, I would sooner cast it for Satan himself than Barack Obama.

"There isn't much evidence that any Obama deed has ever actually helped a single poor person, but there is a whole heap of evidence that he is a whole-hearted, unreserved champion of the Culture of Death. The abortion genocide has already claimed the lives of 48,000,000 innocent human beings.

"If that's not enough to sway the votes of Catholics, perhaps they need to consider a different faith altogether."

re: #182 Purple Prose

The Fourth Estate needs checks and balances. The blogosphere cannot do this effectively yet, because the MSM still has too much singular power over what people read and see. The blogosphere is so fragmented that, with a few exceptions here and there (Drudge Report - though not a blog - on Monica's dress, Charles/LGF on The Memo), it has little impact on people at large.

If the Dems want fair play over the airwaves, there should be fair play in the major news-gathering and news-reporting organizations as well. It's an impossible thing, though: can you imagine some unbiased FCC regulatory committee on bias that fines the AP or the NYT for its biased reporting?

The problem is not opinion pieces. WaPo has George Will and Charles Krauthammer as columnists, and CNN has Glenn Beck, but that kind of supposed fair play is window dressing, since everyone reads opinion pieces as opinion and watches Beck on CNN as much as entertainment as anything else.

These are conservatives on the payroll of liberal MSM outlets as token conservatives, but they don't influence news-gathering and news-reporting. They are just pundits, and the MSM believes that by having a few conservative pundits they can claim they are not biased. Meanwhile, their reporting is as biased as ever, and that's what has the propagandistic impact, since it is presented and swallowed by too much of the public as "objective news."

It is the basic, bread-and-butter "objective" reporting that is corrupted in the MSM. The reporting is not reporting but not-so-thinly veiled airing of liberal biases, all to often, whether it is about Israel, Islam or McCain. It's the old "a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth" problem.

My hope is that 4-years of Obama and a Democratic Congress will so discredit the MSM that it will collapse or be forced to change through free-market mechanisms, i.e., declining readership/viewership and so declining ad revenue. Maybe then we'll have some journalists who are actually objective and not just boosters dispatching from the "front lines," writing the articles and reporting the news on TV.

yes yes yes. i tried to make this same point a week or two ago. The Fourth Estate is not functioning like it used to, it doesn't have adequate checks and balances anymore, and as a result its having a dramatic effect on the election process.

I don't know the answer, but I agree with you that this change is causing the MSM to implode on itself. It is shrinking rapidly and as it does it grows increasingly dysfunctional. At some point, a major shake-up will happen and I expect a big housecleaning and realignment.

I can only imagine the blowout that would occur if McCain had received a fair shake in the media.

It would be 70-30% McCain right now.

Charles, what does "soon" mean. An hour, a day...?

re: #231 Killgore Trout

I'm going to sit out. I simply couldn't vote for Obama.

Why not vote against him? That's what I'm doing.

re: #240 Killgore Trout

Sorry, I only saw accusations of bigotry so I scrolled over. If there was a question I missed it.

I never said anything bigoted. You said you were not voting in part because of Palin.

So I asked if you would vote for me if I were on the ticket, because I am a clone of Sarah Palin. Other than that whole 'gorgeous' thing.

Good ad. It will play well in my dear home, Virginia.
