The LeftMedia plays a very, very large, inordinate part in the Democratic Party's candidate selection process.
This was only rumour in 2004, the John Kerry candidacy crashed and burned largely as a result of the "Fake But Accurate Texas Air National Guard Documents" scandal propagated by CBS and the "SwiftBoat Veterans For Truth" group that put their lives and fortunes on the line for their country once again, so it mattered little in the light of the events that later occurred.
In December of 2003, with Howard Dean seemingly ready to run off and hide with the Democratic Nomination all but sewn up, members of the John Kerry campaign, including Kerry himself, met surreptitiously with representatives of the major media outlets, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, the NYT, and the WaPo, not in any of the meeting rooms available to any one of the concerns, but in an upper westside Manhattan apartment, probably to maintain as low profile as possible regarding secrecy, to discuss the candidates flagging campaign. The meeting concluded with no record of any of the conversations that took place, but everyone in the States heard the Howard Dean scream, the night of the Iowa Caucuses, probably because he had just learned he wasn't getting the Media's tacit support, Mr Kerry was. And who could ever forget CNN's in house, 12 hour long coverage from inside DNC Headquarters the day after Mr Kerry won the New Hampshire Primary, where the intrepid CNN reporters recorded every OOOOH!! and AAAHHHH!! that came from the mouths of DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe on down to the janitors and housekeepers who swept and scrubbed the floors, dusted the desks and took out the trash, regarding Senator Kerry's marvelous primary win the day before?
George Soros, one of Obama's early financiers, didn't rely entirely on a Media October Surprise in 2008. He started manipulating the financial markets earlier that year, driving the price of oil up to nearly $150/barrel until the Republicans began gaining traction with reborn "Drill Here! Drill Now" campaign.
He then apparently turned his attention to torpedoing the United States banking system, creating the financial crisis that sank John McCain's campaign and greased the slide that put Barack Obama into the WhiteHouse.
You know the Democrats are already chartering the buses they will use to transport all of those newly franchised American voters from stops just North of the Mexican border and transporting them en mas to their waiting sanctuary cities for this November's election.
