Obama and the Media: The New Pravda

 

You would think by now that I would be numb to the media bias going on in this Presidental Campaign. I have two topics which simply defy explanation, but first I would like to say something about the media and this campaign. The media has been running this campaign from day one, to the point that they chose our candidates for us. Early this year in January, McCain's campaign was dead but was soon revived by whom? The media. I wonder why? The same with Obama, Clinton was pretty much the presumptive nominee but the media saw a window of opportunity for Obama and they chose him. The media, sick and tired of the Hillary and Billary, finally discovered an escape from the control of the Clinton gang and they took it.

Yes, the media played us like violins propping up false polls and concentrating their attentions to just two candidates- McCain and Obama. Then the media chose their preferred candidate the "liberal" Barack Hussein Obama- no surprise there- and told everyone else- "hands off Obama and steer all negatives away from his candidacy". With all the suspicions and downright anti-American associations swirling around Obama, we hear nothing. I ask you, how many accidental associations with terrorists and criminals can a person have before we begin to smell a rat? If anyone even questions his patriotism, his ideologies, his faith, his beliefs- That person is labeled a RACIST! Obama is the darling of the Media- and according to Louis Farrakhan last week- "the Messiah"!! No wonder the media won't criticize him- Obama is untouchable.

 Now to my two issues dealing with the media. The first is an article by Newsweek which questions and actually suggests that Sarah Palin's Christian beliefs are somehow "dangerous" to the United States and our freedoms. Because, you see, Sarah Palin believes that witchcraft is bad and that real EVIL exists. These are beliefs considered "dangerous" by Newsweek!! Are you kidding me????? Obama attends a church for 20 years which espouses "Black Liberation Theology" and signed a pledge to this belief, a church which preaches racism and hatred towards all whites, and whose pastor has been recorded and videotaped preaching: "Not God Bless America, but God Damn America!" and "Not the USA but the US of KKK" and finally "The United States invented AIDS to kill our Black men." Obama's beliefs are NOT considered dangerous but the traditional Christian beliefs of Sarah Palin are!!! Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

 The second issue concerns the Los Angeles Times and their decision not to release a videotape which shows Obama and Mrs. Obama at a testimonial dinner in 2003 for former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi who is also a former Columbia University colleague. The article in the LA Times describes Obama as having toasted Mr. Khalidi. Other attendees were Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn (Former Weather Underground members and admitted bombers and killers). The Obamas, Bill Ayers & Ms Dorn and the Khalidis all seem to live in the same Chicago neighborhood. Obama and Ayers while members of the Woods Foundation gave money to Palestinian groups fighting in Israel. The testimonial dinner seemed to feature some very vehement criticisms of the US and Israel and Barack Hussein Obama was welcome and felt so comfortable as to offer a toast. Now, my problem is with the LA Times. Why won’t they release this video? We all know the answer to that: It may hurt Obama’s chances in the Presidential Election. Is this journalistic integrity or journalistic dishonesty and bias? It was once said that the worse thing that could happen to a free society is to have the news media lose its objectivity. Well touché for American journalism!! We might as well call the network and a majority of Newspapers the New Pravda!! The LA Pravda, NY Pravda, The Boston Pravda Globe and the Washington Post Pravda. Is this what we have to look forward to in an Obama presidency? The Pravdization of American Journalism: "Todays News: Why should you have to decide what is true or what is not true. Don't worry, we'll decide for you."
Please, Help Stop the Madness!!!

Vote McCain – Palin in November!
