Forums - General - It's nice to have the media on your side.

So, it's day one of being elected, and Obama already has the media in full force protecting his legacy. Nice work.

I wounder, if McCain had won, would this article be on CNN?

How about letting it go? :/



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Oh cry me a river......



sure media will protect Obama. Don't blame them though.
and no it would not have been the same if McCain won.

Because for the last two years, the economy has been run by democrats, and yet republicans have been blamed. Now we have an all Democrat Washington. Time to step up to the plate and take responsibility.

For the Media, on the very next day, to start the republican blame game is just pathetic.



The night of celebration and debauchery has ended. It is time to face reality, and I am going to be watching with interest to see whether or not Obama commences on a path of poor economic decisions.



Maybe its because the media was part of the same group of people, the American people, who approve of Bush's performance in the 20 percentiles.

I mean even Republicans were sick of the Republican Party, did you want the media to paint pictures of Rush Limbaugh delivering candy to homeless children? Its not really being biased when the entire country dislikes the party in power. That's like saying the media should have slapped Nixon on the wrists for Watergate.

McCain has been America's celebrity POW, celebrity senator, and celebrity maverick for decades. He was a media darling. First sitting senator to host SNL. The media ate out of his hands his whole career. When he said Chelsea Clinton was ugly because Janet Reno was her father, most media outlets refused to reprint the joke, and just said "McCain said a bad joke and had to apologize to the president."

If he won, the media would've been right back in his lap, same as they did for Bush until he proved how retarded he was and ruined every single aspect of the country. The media fed us Bush's lies about WMD's and actually got a majority of Americans to think Iraq had something to do with 9/11.

The media sucks up to new presidents to get access, and it takes some big screwups for them to turn on you.

But seriously, let it go, or call a Waaambulance.

 

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot to mention McCain's joke about a woman enjoying being raped.  If that had more media coverage, McCain would've been hurting even more with the female vote.  But instead, Al Franken's rape jokes were all over the news in Minnesota, when writing jokes was his fucking job.

Indeed, especially before the main election season when McCain was replaced with a typical Republican fearmonger the media absolutely adored him.  People who think the media hated McCain from the start must have amnesia.
