Covering Obama's Tracks

Postby candance on 03/25/08, 11:34 am

What amazes me throughout this whole campaign is the media's willingness to hide any and all bad news related to Barack Obama. They covered the Wright tapes only after talk radio and the blogosphere made an issue of them. Everything else is being roundly ignored.

Observe this little gem from Electronic Intifada in which an anti-Israel activist complains that Obama has changed his tune about Israel to run for election. Included in the blog are photos of Obama chatting with well known anti-Semite Edward Said and an account of Obama attending pro-Palestine rallies:

The news media in Israel has picked up on it, but not a single outlet in the West seems to care.


Observe this article (again from Israeli media) that claims Obama's church reprinted Hamas propaganda in their church newsletter, as part of their stance on Israel not having the right to exist:

Once again, completely ignored by the American media.


Observe this newsletter from Obama's church written last year, in which the author claims that Israel worked with South Africa to develop an "ethnic bomb" in their efforts to kill off blacks and Arabs:

Picked up by the blogosphere, ignored by the media.



The more I learn about Obama the more he sends cold chills through me. If the media told the truth about him more Americans would start running away.

Wait. Are you saying the MSM may not be practicing full disclosure? Are you saying the MSM may have an agenda? Are you saying that the MSM may not be fully objective when it comes to covering the news? Are you saying that the MSM, including Chris Matthews' quivering leg, may be using their position in the press to influence people in favor of Obama?

Just checking because that is what my observations suggest too!

MSM just has this narrow-minded love affair with BHO... he can do no wrong...only wright... and they wouldn't want to be considered racist in providing truthful information to voters.

Well, the truth is only true for those who hold true to the true meaning of the relative truth.

I think that is a Stephen Colbert quote so it must be truthiness.

I just watched FOX News and the FOX panel propagandists are saying Obama's latest racial insult against small town white hicks is no big deal! Who the fck are they kidding? I'm ready to throw a brick at Obama if he ever gets close enough to me. It is really scary the propaganda the Government Media Complex is foisting on us, but with electronic voting, who knows, this racist a-hole may be our next president.

I know quite a few liberals (white) who will not be voting for Obama no matter what he says now, but the Drive Bys are telling us his racist comments are having no effect.
