Comments on: Is Obama Getting Too Much Coverage?

Critics Charge Media Has Been Unbalanced In Race Between McCain, Obama

[j_mcdouglas]

baborn,

Nope. John McCain is the icon of "affirmative action."

He''s never earned anything on his own in his life. Not one red cent. He has to beg his sugar-momma (the one he cheated on his first wife to be with) to cover his $1,000/bet craps habit.

He got shot down and held prisoner and he''s been coasting on that his whole life.

Obama on the other hand overcame incredible odds to be where he is, as all blacks who achieve what he''s achieved must.

McCain is a Special Olympics candidate that the media is treating like an untouchable God... they''re fair and balancing out the playing field for him like they do for all Republicans.

Meanwhile, Obama is getting the lions share of media attention (ie negative attention) and McCain and his supporters have the audacity to complain about it?

Well, OK... McCain SHOULD get more criticism from the media... only I won''t hold my breath. The media won''t get tough on John McCain... they have too much money to make if he wins the presidency. He''s been a sellout to the media all his life, flipping and flopping in order to be in the spotlight. He doesn''t show up for work... but he''s always looking for more time on camera.

Now this Special Olympics candidate, John McBush... he''s even begging the media for it like he begged Obama to take him along to Iraq, like some pitiful little terrier. McWoof! McWoof!!

Rather than the school-girl crushes on Obama from the media, why don''t you all do your jobs and inform the public of his positions? JFK is dead my friends. Camelot is over. Let''s deal with today. Hope and Change ain''t enough and you journalists should be doing your jobs.

Obama is a product of Affirmative Action, this is obvious by his lack of knowledge: i.e. 57 States,
being Pres. for 8-10 years, etc. He''s only been in the Senate(a questionable outfit)for 143 days and left no foot prints.
The Liberal Press(their voting record proves this)is proping him up. McCain on the other hand is running a campaign reminiscent of Bob Dole''s ...
Senators are NOT presidential material. The Islamic Fundalmentalist Terrorist are still with us and are putting a grand attack together!
Wake-up.

It''s so sad Americans are dumb enough to think that selling more leases for ocean drilling will make a difference in gas prices. Republicans treat their voters like pets... thinking they can only see what''s dangled in front of their faces; sadly they''re right more often than not.

The oil companies aren''t even drilling on 75% of the land they''ve already got leases for. It''s just another boondoggle from Republicans in order to dismantle more of our environmental laws. All it is. Gas prices are a completely phony construct... it''s just price gouging, and Republicans continue to veto any legislation Dems come up with to stop the gouging... and Republicans continue to let it happen without taxing the oil companies on their profits... as we sink further and further into debt.

It won''t stop until the oil companies either decide enough is enough and their price gouging is hurting their bought and paid for Republican candidates... or Dems get into the White House and hold the veto pen.

1) Most media coverage is negative, so if John McCain wants it, he should get it. I won''t hold my breath for our media to really get tough on John McCain though... he''s untouchable, despite the fact he''s been wrong on every major issue since Vietnam.

2) Will stories like this... which are about the media coverage of Obama... will they be counted as stories about Obama as well? Garbage. Naval gazing stories from the media about their own coverage? And they''re including the Wright nonsense coverage as well?

MCCAIN SHOULD STOP WHINING...

lest he gets what he''s asking for... actual media coverage on his flips, his flops, and his "senior moments."

Just today he confused Iraq with Afghanistan. Hey John, IRAQ DOESN''T BORDER PAKISTAN, GENIUS!!!

John McBush is a Special Olympics candidate and Obama is going to win the gold. McBush should be glad people aren''t paying attention to his meltdown.

You all who support the "child" are just so naive and forgetful that you have left out one important factor: He is NOT READY FOR CHANGE He has barely changed his diapers. Please, wake up- get a grip, and grow up before you make A HUGE MISTAKE. Obama spent 20 years hating America, if he didn''t win the primary he would still be Rev Wrights best friend!

Cryos Stop insulting democrats with your demeaning lables, most are conseritive, the right type!!!

[shinxy-2009]

Lol, 4 responses in the last 10 minutes.

Need some ointment for that sweet burn, Cryos?

Don''t worry, I suspect you''ll be in good company. All the McSame supporters are going to be smarting when Obama sweeps their man this November. Good luck, you''ll need it.

More drilling means using up the precious resource faster, so that we won''t have it to make lubricants and plastics anymore. It means more global climate change. Offshore drilling means oil spills.

If the media doesn''t favor John, why don''t we see more about this huge Iraq Flip-flop??

For gods sake - he is running for President - he should get coverages.
McSame or is it McBush, or is it McAgain is getting too much faverible coverage. You guys hide the old farts blunders and misstatements.

[lindafranke]

Yes Obama is the "preferred" MSM candidate. Why? Lots of reasons. Nobody likes change. Right?

[tscc2]

Obama is setting the tone of the campaign. With all of this attention you would think he was President already. McSame McCane is always one step behind.

"International travel is not usually a way for candidates to win the White House," says Tom Rosenstiel, the director of the Project For Excellence In Journalism. "That says something about Obama''s needs as a candidate and what the issues are this year."

What Obama is trying to strengthen is his foreign policy credibility. McCain, a war hero with decades in the Senate, claims he already has it.

===========

So, why did McCain go, not only to the Middle East, but also South America, recently? And why does this article imply that only Obama would do such a thing?
This is bad reporting.

Cryos: You don''t get it. Offshore drilling isn''t a solution to our energy problem. It''s not going to lower gas prices. Not not, not ever. Every reputable economist would back me on this. Bush and McCain both admit that the only positive effect offshore drilling would have for the average American is psychological. Translation: if we drill offshore, people might get tricked into THINKING that the price of gas might go down. Judging from your response, it''s already working. Way to drink the Kool-Aid!

Obama is getting too much coverage, but only from media types looking for weaknesses and gaffes. The MSM is firmly in the McCain camp. We need more coverage of McCain, with a critical eye towards how out of touch he is. Just today he said that Iraq and Pakistan border each other! This is front page news, people! Either Afghanistan magically disappeared, or this guy has about as much knowledge of geography as the average American - which is a scary thought, considering this guy will have control of the red phone if we elect him. What happens when he calls in a nuclear strike on Czechoslovakia?
