The Media and the Election
admin / Category: UncategorizedDo you remember when Sarah Palin was tapped by John McCain to be his running mate? The medai couldn’t wait to dig up any bad publicity regarding her political life in Alaska. So, they dug up troopergate, questioned her parental responsibilities when it came out that her daughter was pregnant, and even questioned her decision to return to the office just days after she delivered her 5th child. I understand that the media wants the people to understand who this candidate is, but what are they doing to show America who Obama is?
The media is doing absolutely nothing. They are presenting Obama as this savior of the world, or as McCain calls him “The Messiah.” The biggest glaring example of this is Obama’s connection to ACORN. For all of you who do not know, ACORN is a “bipartisan” group that goes to various towns around the country and holds election drives for low-income earners. A couple of things about this group. 1) They are not truly bi-partisan. There target group is low-income minority citizens (we all know who they vote for), and the group has come out to edorse Obama as president. 2) Several of the registration drives that ACORN has sponsored have produced fraudulent registrations.
Now there are two stories here that the media needs to report. The first is that thousands of voter registrations are fraudulent, and this could severely effect the outcome of the election next month. 2) Obama has worked closely with this group in the past, and the group has sought Obama for legal advice in the past.
If you run a google search for Obama and ACORN, the only groups that are bringing this to our attention are conservative papers and blogs; you won’t find it in the main stream media. In fact, I’ve only seen one news organization besides FOX news bring this up, and that’s CNN. I will talk about that interview tomorrow.
The biggest thing about this is that the media is controling this election by what they do and do not report; and what they don’t report can be far more damaging that what they do. True; Sarah Palin using her power to fire her former in-law is a story, and one that should be reported. But Obama’s connection to ACORN is one that is being overlooked, and the media is turning it’s head because they want the Messiah elected. I’m not just saying this, my mom just left the media a few months ago, and she no longer can stand the MSM because of its bias.
