Day By Day by Chris Muir November 15, 2008 – Point of View for the MSM
New media,including the blogosphere, will not bow down to “The One” which will lead to an accelerated move away from the traditional media.Watch for the MSM to become more of a repeater service to the blogs as the newspapers decline in circulation and politicians create their own media content. Note: Barack Obama’s nationwide radio address today was released directly to You Tube.

Day By Day by Chris Muir October 28, 2008 – Freedom of …?
Day By Day by Chris MuirThe New York Times is clinging to their agenda driven press coverage despite the fact that their number of subscribers is dramatically shrinking.Why? I think I know, because had my life taken a different path, I could have been one: Picture yourself in your 50s in a job where you’ve spent 30 years working your way to the top, to the cockpit of power … only to discover that you’re presiding over a dying industry. The Internet and alternative media are stealing your readers, your advertisers and your top young talent. Many of your peers shrewdly took golden parachutes and disappeared. Your job doesn’t have anywhere near the power and influence it did when your started your climb. The Newspaper Guild is too weak to protect you any more, and there is a very good chance you’ll lose your job before you cross that finish line, 10 years hence, of retirement and a pension.
In other words, you are facing career catastrophe — and desperate times call for desperate measures. Even if you have to risk everything on a single Hail Mary play. Even if you have to compromise the principles that got you here. After all, newspapers and network news are doomed anyway — all that counts is keeping them on life support until you can retire.
And then the opportunity presents itself — an attractive young candidate whose politics likely matches yours, but more important, he offers the prospect of a transformed Washington with the power to fix everything that has gone wrong in your career.
With luck, this monolithic, single-party government will crush the alternative media via a revived fairness doctrine, re-invigorate unions by getting rid of secret votes, and just maybe be beholden to people like you in the traditional media for getting it there.
And besides, you tell yourself, it’s all for the good of the country …

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?

Shocking: John McCain Gets More Negative Media Coverage Than Barack Obama
The Tanning Bed MediaIn 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.

Sarah Palin Watch: The Dishonesty of CNN
Sarah Palin interviewed on CNN’s The Situation Room, October 21, 2008Wow! Talk about DISHONEST journalism. CNN takes the prize today after they deliberately distort a quote from Byron York of National Review.
The full quote from Byron York:
Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, it’s sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward, or — or, well, all of the above. Palin, the governor of Alaska, has faced more criticism than any vice-presidential candidate since 1988, when Democrats and the press tore into Dan Quayle. In fact, Palin may have it even worse than Quayle, since she’s taking flak not only from Democrats and the press but from some conservative opinion leaders as well….
Yes, there are legitimate concerns about Palin’s lack of experience. Who wouldn’t, at the very least, wish that she had more time in the governor’s office on her résumé? But a look at Palin’s 20 months in power, along with interviews with people who worked with her, shows her to be a serious executive, a governor who picked important things to do and got them done — and who didn’t just stumble into an 80 percent job-approval rating.
Uhhhhh the context CNN?
Here is what CNN reporter Drew Griffin said:“The press has been pretty hard on you, the Democrats have been pretty hard on you, but also some conservatives have been pretty hard on you as well. The National Review had a story saying that, you know, I can’t tell if Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt or all of the above.â€
Flap agrees with Hugh Hewitt in that Drew Griffin and his producer(s) at CNN should be fired but that won’t happen and Flap doubts they will EVEN apologize.
Who says there is NO media bias?
