Obama Has Two Protectors: The Secret Service and the Media

[William Joyce]

Both would take a bullet for him.

Well, as long as Fox News is in business, I think we can be assured that there is at least one media outlet that will keep him honest. The likes of Hannity, O'Reilley and Beck do an admirable job in keeping their reporting and opinions fair and balanced.

Thank goodness for that. Can you believe there are hate groups out there that want to do harm to our president?

you're just angry that Obama won in a virtual landslide, and continues to have high favoribility raings.

do you know how ridiculous you sound asserting that democrats are protected by the media? It doesn't even remotely pass the laugh test. Jimmy Carterwas mocked to death by the media, and bill clinton was hounded 24/7 for a small real estate transaction he lost money on, and for a blow job.

The corporate owned media prefer Conservatives because they get tax breaks under them and are allowed to grow as big as they can to OWN market shares of any area they can strong arm into without any concern for the diversity of opinion in the populace.

They Preened over and protected Bush his first 6 years and are in part responsible for the state of our country not to mention the rest of the world.

The people have started to abandon them so they have allowed more diversity of thought to make money for them.

They do it ONLY for the money.

You're partly right, tm......the msm, in collaboration with the Democrats, talked down the US economy even as Bush was enjoying 4.4% unemployment and a thriving stock market..
doing such a good jog as to actually convince the public of imaginary problems until they the imaginary problems finally materialized....next,
herding voters to the left causing a liberal/socialist Democratic takeover of Congress ...
and finally, with constant defamation of Conservatives, and creating a super-hero out of an otherwise empty suit, engineered the election of Obama....

So...the msm is NOT "in part" responsible for the state of our country not to mention the rest of the world, but is "totally" responsible for the state of our country and "much" of the rest of the world.

You can't be that dense. There must be a pay check in there somewhere.

Kindly circle all of the mainstream media who would hound and mock Obama:
Dan Rather, Katie Couric, Tom Brokaw, Ted Koppel, Andy Rooney, Leslie Stahl, George Stephanopoulos, Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, Ed Bradley, Campbell Brown, Jack Cafferty, Walter Cronkite, Jim Lehrer, Roger Grimsby, Soledad O’Brien, Keith Olbermann, Cokie Roberts, Diane Sawyer, Bob Schieffer, Paula Zahn, Sam Donaldson, Brian Williams, Judy Woodruff, David Shuster, Bernard Shaw, Jessica Savitch, Harry Reasoner, Sally Quinn, Gwen Ifill, Douglas Kiker, Charles Kuralt, Roger Mudd, Robert MacNeil, Charles Osgood, Douglas Edwards, John Chancellor, Charles Gibson, Christiane Amanpour, Anderson Cooper, Ann Curry, Marvin Kalb, Bryant Gimbel, Andrea Mitchell, Jeanne Moos, Bill Schneider, Daniel Schoor, Richard Threlkeld, Jake Tapper, Ann Compton, Lester Holt, Michael Beschloss.

Here is a truly representative "objective" historian:

Between Election Day and March 9 the Dow fell 3,000 points....about 3 trillion lost.

Did major media question Obama’s policies as being even partly responsible? No.
Did major media quickly credit Obama when the market rallied a bit? Yes.

Will the media take a bullet for Obama....heck no, they're perfect....they let Bush take it.

Not to veer too far off topic, but you don't think the media ought to cover the president cheating on the first lady in the most sacred office in all the land?

What a nerve Paulie has to use the term "sacred" in the context of Liberals.

Remember Queen Ann's discussion of Liberals and religion?

"Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)."

Well then tell us why the presidency is sacred?

No, why don't you give some examples of how/when/who in the media is protecting him?

Just like you guys tell us the media is liberal, and we know this isn't true. Discuss.

2 weeks ago some right winger said Kramer was a liberal. Next thing you know, we find out he and CNBC has been lying for Wallstreet for years.

Kramer used to run a Hedge Fund.

Anyways, please stop suggesting the media is liberal.

And do not tell us that people are liberal when they are not. You tried it with Kramer, you tried with O'Reilly, Beck.

Unless they are as obvious as Rush, don't tell us.

The solutions to most of our problems are progressive ones.

Conservatives just about killed America by blocking national health insurance, taxes on the rich, and regulation of the financial markets.

Now we are paying the price.

The media isn't liberal enough. The media are pussies.
