[size=19]What Media Bias?  ABC News, Martha Raddatz


[size=14]During John McCain's recent trip to Iraq, Martha Raddatz of ABC News was polling Soldiers as to who they were going to vote for President. Apparently she had to ask a whole lot of soldiers before she found a handful enough to fit her pre-written story and bias
.
Seems a Soldier who was standing behind Raddatz as she queried the soldiers kept count of who answered what.


[size=14]She (Raddatz) asked 60 GI's who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2 for Hillary.



You would think that honest journalism would lead with a story about how an overwhelming majority of Soldiers will be voting as they ALWAYS do, for the Republican candidate.

Nope. That doesn't fit the media's narrative. So instead the ABC News report decided to focus instead on:



ABC showed 5 GI's being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton. No mention of the 54 for McCain. Coming from ABC, why am I not surprised!




She might as well have gone to MSNBC and asked, "How many of your political beat reporters would
favor
Barr
ack
Obama?" Because then at least they would have gotten a much more honest and accurate proportion of people raising their hand for Barry.

Subject: ABC News - Unbelievable

Unbelievable!


No.... wait.  Actually, that's perfectly believable.  Why anyone gets their news from the Mainstream Media these days is beyond me.  Are there still people who are unaware that they do this kind of thing all the time?

I've said it before & I'll say it again: Our only enemies are public education and the Mainstream media.   Without them, we'd have much less trouble fighting the War on Terror, the War against Illegal Immigration, the current War against Communism; and the American People would be less likely to vote for the Communist Party in elections.

I agree that the news shouldn't distort the number of military voting for McCain, just like I don't think the media should refer to a presidential candidate's wife as his "baby mama" or refer to a common greeting as a "terrorist fist bump" or to the candidate himself as an "Oreo" or to constantly emphasize his middle name because of the muslim/terrorist implications.  how often do you hear those same people (many on fair and balanced FOX) refer to the republican candidate as John Sidney McCain III...NEVER because its irrelevant what a candidates middle name is unless you have an agenda to distort the facts.   Many members of the media have lost any sense of ethics and give in to their narcissistic beliefs that we care what they think.  We watch news to see/hear what happened in the world...not to see/hear what certain fools think happened.

SoldiersMum:

You are a listener of the Roger Hedgecock and thats exactly where you got that report from word for word.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that because I am a listener too.
Now I had heard recently that the approval rating for this do-nothing Democrat Congress is at 9%!
Rusty Humphries has reported this and I think Roger Hedgecock as done so also. No admission by the mainstream press mind you but a mere coverup.

I heard early Wednesday morning on a USA Radio news report that the Congressional approval rating was 16%.
Where they got that number tells me they had to slip it past their heads and out since they remain inserted deeply into their comfort zone.

Oh but the President managed to, along with the help of Conservatives, to steal the 2000 election in Florida which is heavilly controlled by Democrats who have the major districts and direct the counting of ballots.
This says a lot about these professional screwups who are experts at lying.
