Day By Day 102408

Day By Day by Chris Muir

Barack Obama has been feeding the MSM for over a year now. First, they carnivorously ate Hillary Clinton and now they are going after Sarah Palin.

But, after the election, should Obama win, will they be satiated with the BS fertilizer from the White House Communications office?

How do you spell Camelot II?

The Tanning Bed Media

In a shocker, it is reported by the Pew Research Center that John McCain is receiving more negative media coverage than Barack Obama.

The study, released Wednesday, examined 2,412 campaign stories from 48 news outlets during the six weeks from the end of the conventions through the final presidential debate.

The results: While the candidates are receiving equal amounts of coverage, 59% of stories about McCain were “decidedly negative in nature,” while only 14% were positive.

Obama hasn’t exactly been fawned over by media, but the coverage statistically has been more evenhanded, with 36% of stories clearly positive, 35% neutral or mixed, and 29% negative.

On Sarah Palin:

Sarah Palin coverage’s had an “up and down trajectory, moving from quite positive, to very negative, to more mixed,” the study said. The negative coverage dealt with looks into her public record and her relationship with the press. “Little of her trouble came from coverage of her personal traits or family issues,” the authors said.


The key question: Are the media pro-Obama?

The study said the question was not answerable by the data.

Flap knows, then, they did not survey NBC News which is anti-McCain, anti-Palin and pro-Obama ALL OF THE TIME.

Joe-Klein-Whines

Joe Klein of Time Magazine

And, why would Team McCain allow this MORON on their airplanes?

Gosh is the MSM dense.

But, watch this video (if it stays up) and you can get an idea of Klein’s BIAS as stated in his own words.

An interview with Time Magazine’s Joe Klein. Pay particular attention to the end where Klein ridicules Sarah Palin


Key Response from the McCain campaign:

Campaign spokesperson Michael Goldfarb responded that “we don’t allow Daily Kos diarists on board either.”

Hey,Joe stop your whining and when you want to “HIT” Mac or Palin book your own flight.

JERK……

Update:

Joe Klein whimpers and tries to justify his ban.

Day By Day by Chris Muir

As the MSM turns more and more LEFT they will be the ones “going under.” And, they are slowly but SURELY.

Chris, Flap would not blame Damon for surfacing the submarine either. You have to give Jan some freedom, now don’t you?

Day By Day 101808

Day By Day by Chris Muir

Chris, are you suggesting “The One” does not like any criticism especially from the lowly American voter?

Should Obama win the Presidency November 4th can anyone imagine the FAWNING love affair the MSM will have with “The Messiah?”

A HALO will be just the start.

mccain-and-obama-plus-talki

Matt Drudge has the poop.

What a shock!

The media being helped by the Obama campaign.

Press Secretary Sean Smith issued the directive in an email from Pennsylvania, 12 hours before the debate.

The memo oddly mirrors much of the main press analysis and theme of the current campaign:

——– Original Message ——–
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 09:37:27 -0500
From: Sean Smith [s***mith@barackobama.com]
To: Sean Smith [s***mith@barackobama.com]

* This is John McCain’s last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn’t disqualify him from being President.

* Just this weekend the weekend, John McCain vowed to “whip Obama’s you-know-what” at the debate, and he’s indicated that he’ll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters.

* So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.

Obama continues to lead on the economic crisis with a rescue plan for Main Street.

* Over the course of the campaign, Barack Obama has laid out a set of policies that will grow our middle class and strengthen our economy.

* But he knows we face an immediate economic emergency that requires urgent action - on top of the plans he’s already laid out - to help workers and families and communities struggling right now.

* That’s why Barack Obama is introducing a comprehensive four-part Rescue Plan for the Middle Class - to immediately to stabilize our financial system, provide relief to families and communities, and help struggling homeowners.

* This is a plan that can and should be implemented immediately.

* Obama has shown steady leadership during this crisis and offered concrete solutions to move the country forward - and his Rescue Plan for the Middle Class builds on the plans to strengthen the economy and rebuild the middle class that he’s laid out over the course of this campaign.

* Already in this campaign, he’s unveiled plans to give 95 percent of workers and their families a tax cut, eliminate income taxes for seniors making under $50,000, bring down the cost of health care for families and businesses; and create millions of new jobs by investing in the renewable energy sources.

* John McCain has been erratic and unsteady since this crisis began - staggering from position to position and trying to change the subject away from the economy by launching false character attacks.

What a surprise! The MSM is in the tank for “The One.”

Stop the presses.

day by day 100908

Day By Day by Chris Muir

In Wisconsin today there were American voters attending the McCain-Palin townhall meeting bashing the MSM and recommending that McCain and Palin attack Barack Obama more. The candidates both smiled at the suggestions.

Americans are beginning to understand media bias and must make their voices heard through the commercial marketplace by protesting sponsorships or refusing to watch or purchase their programming.

The “in the tank” coverage of Barack Obama during this election cycle  will profoundly affect the public’s attitude toward America media and precipitate further collapse of traditional MSM print newspapers and magazines.

Count on it……

In blogging matters, Flap has returned home from Las Vegas and blogging has returned to a more normal routine.
