The Issue Everyone's Dancing Around Is Media Coverage Favors Obama

Whattya mean "dancing around"? I'll tell ya straight up it's horseshit.

LMAO!!!!

It is so unfortunate that Tim Russert won't interview Romney on Meet the Press today. Gregory is a light weight and won't press questions as did Mr. Russert. I suspect Romney will get away with his usual platitudes, attacks and demagoguery.

I think you're confusing Romney with Obama......

Oh, and....

At least Russert had credibility.

And as I scan channels surfing through them, I've noticed clip after clip after clip being played of obama and bite-me's speeches.

I didn't see a single clip of any of Romney's speech afterwards.

Fox news is getting as bad as all the other cable news hogwash. Just another channel filled with politically correct bullshit and talking heads.

Stick with Drudge.

Yes the majority of media is so blatantly biased towards obama and against Romney it's pathetic, and those pretending it doesn't exist are liars, plain and simple.

 

[Rozman]

I'm not dancing around it.
Been saying it for a few years now.
The media loves Obama and they will do almost anything to help him out.
One of the few media outlets standing in their way is Fox.

Shocking! It couldn't be that Obama is president and so when he speaks in public, it's news worthy?

Am I suggesting there is no media bias? No. People are human and everyone injects their own personal feelings into reporting. However considering in the last 50 years, the white house has been fairly evenly split between dems/pubs, whining that media bias will cost you the election, is pretty childish.

Even Fox has their share of liberals, Shepard Smith and Greta Van Sustern to name a couple.

Even Bill O'Reilly is a liberal, but he hides it well.

If Romney loses it will be because of Romney, not because Obama gets better press, because the debate mods didn't ask the right questions, or any other nonsense.

Wrong. It will be because of voter fraud and media propaganda which they call "news."

The only reason Obama has a snowball's chance in Hell is the simple fact that he's getting great media coverage. It doesn't matter how lousy a president he's turned out to be. He is getting tons of help from his lap-dog press.

Everything Mitt Romney does is torn to pieces while everything Obama does wrong is ether ignored or trivialized. I'm listening to these assholes on Fox talk about the bump Obama received from the convention and they're simply ignoring the elephant in the room. Obama has an unfair advantage when it comes to media coverage. It doesn't matter how good of a case Romney makes for change if he can't overcome the lies and the censorship that is in full effect from the Mainstream Media.

I was undergoing a four hour long test at the hospital Friday and while I was waiting I watched both Obama and Romney giving speeches. Obama seemed like he was a smart-ass talking smack about Romney. He was campaigning like someone who hasn't spent a day in the Oval Office, promising one thing after another and using fear tactics in an attempt to cast a pal over Mitt Romney. Just about everyone in that waiting room told me they weren't buying his crapola. Obama was bad-mouthing Romney big-time.

"This guy has no plan. Everything he wants to do has been tried before and look what it got us. Vote for me and I promise things will be better!!!!"

I was thinking everything Obama was saying could be directly applied to himself.

Then they showed Mitt Romney's town-hall. Romney essentially was asking everyone if they wanted four more years of lackluster growth, high unemployment, and shrinking wages. Obama claims that nobody could have done anything about the malaise we're in. The problem is we need someone who feels he can do something to improve the situation, not someone who feels he's powerless to do his job. We don't need someone who feels he can't work with Congress to get things done. We need someone who is at least willing to try, don't we???

Obama needs a lot of help to convince everyone that things aren't so bad. Tell that to the folks that live in California that make $20/hr and still have to live in their cars. The costs of energy has skyrocketed as Obama predicted and it has gotten harder and harder to make ends meet. Underemployment is one of the biggest problems that goes unnoticed in the media. Four more years of Obama assures that this will continue to get worse. It's almost like he's hoping for it. He figures that a 100% increase in our utility bills is going in the right direction. If you ask him what he's planning to do about it he'll just say nothing. He has no control over it. His war on fossil-fuels had nothing to do with it. Fact is his war on our energy has everything to do with it. He said Friday that we are less energy dependent than we've been in our history. This bold-faced lie seemed to go unnoticed by the attending crowd but not with the folks watching it on television.

Obama thinks that calling Mitt Romney a money-grubbing rich guy who murders people's wives and enjoys firing people and outsourcing jobs to China is going to get him another four years. Four years to further destroy the economy. Four more years to destroy capitalism so he can replace it with something he was taught was better. European socialism based on crony-capitalism. So far he's pretty much staying even with Romney. However the trends don't look as good as his slobbering press would lead you to believe. The trend looks better for Romney than Obama but as anyone who has been paying attention knows, the worry is Obama will be able to trick us into giving what he wants. Most of the people in that room felt Obama was a shoe-in. They're scared. I told them if Obama wins it will be by a squeaker. But if Romney wins I'm pretty sure it will be by a landslide. They said "I sure hope so. I can't handle 4 more years of this nonsense."

I expect you would think that, just like the wingnts on the left will shout that Romney stole the election if he wins.

George Step was Obama's media adviser early in his administration. He was also Clinton's primary campaign manager.

What better way to tear someone down is to tape an interview and show it later, even edit it, just so you can get your talking-points down pat.

How long has the media been "bias"?

ever since it became state run, silly

 

[mamooth]

The media recently trumpeted that bad employment news would no doubt be a disaster for Obama. Instead, Obama's numbers went up. The media is now furious because they weren't able to push Obama's numbers down by pushing that particular slant of theirs.

The media very badly wants a close election, being that improves their ratings. They're not getting a close election, so they're working to boost Romney, to try to make things closer. That's why the media practically weeps in impotent rage whenever Obama gets any good news.

So, why can't the media ever just say "Ryan is lying" or "Romney is lying", given that both of them regularly tell such whoppers?

So you're saying media bias doesn't exist?

Sure it does...it has a corporate media bias

Who Owns the Media?

Massive corporations dominate the U.S. media landscape. Through a history of mergers and acquisitions, these companies have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these companies are vertically integrated, controlling everything from initial production to final distribution. In the interactive charts below we reveal who owns what.

Here one...

Bain Capital/Thomas H. Lee Partners (Clear Channel)

2011 Revenue: $6.2 billion

Company Overview: These private equity firms own Clear Channel, the largest radio station owner in the country. Approximately half of the company's revenue is generated from radio broadcasting. The remaining half comes from advertising companies and other investments.

Radio: 866 radio stations and Premiere Radio Networks (a national radio network that produces, distributes or represents approximately 90 syndicated radio programs, serves nearly 5,800 radio station affiliates and has over 213 million weekly listeners. Programs include the Rush Limbaugh Show, Glenn Beck and the Sean Hannity Show); Fox Sports Radio; Fox News Radio; Australian Radio Network

Other: Katz Media (radio advertising broker); American Outdoor Advertising

You are rolling with real players here.

Do not embarrass yourself with another post like this.

The mainstream media isn't Clear Channel. AM radio (Wow.....what a threat)

Clear Channel represents the alternative media.

The Mainstream Media is owned by companies like Viacom, Gannett, NBC Universal. NBC works out of a building owned by GE called the Rockefeller Center. The FCC is run by the Obama Administration. Anyone who's license is coming up for renewal this year had to meet their standards of fairness or lose their licenses.

Most media outlets are headquartered out of New York, a liberal state, and Washington D.C. and extremely liberal city.

Viacom - CBS, BET, MTV, Paramount Pictures, Showtime, Dreamworks, Microsoft, Simon & Schuster, 170 media networks reaching more than 600 million global subscribers and more than 500 branded digital media properties.

The Master Character Narratives in Campaign 2012 - Pew Research Center

Was this ignored because it counters the narrative?

The report by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism released Thursday examined coverage by 50 major media outlets over a 10-week period from the end of May to early August. It found that the "master narratives" about Obama and Romney have been equally unfavorable, with some 72 percent of stories about Obama being negative along with 71 percent of stories about Romney.
