Reply #3: It's the divide and conquer the media is so well known for..... [View All]

Notice that anytime the subject is Obama and Black support,
they are all over it.

They, of course, do not mention the fact that Obama's support in the Hispanic community is up 6 points in just a few weeks,

nor that, although they wrote about Obama's hollywood not being as "enthusiastic" this time around, they don't mention that both of his fundraisers on the Westcoast were sold out....at thousands a seat.

But you know....that's how it is. The media is not our friend, and they never will be.

Personally, I’m always taking aback by those who allow the media to continuously manipulate us, divide us, and set us off on one another. It is with dismay that we witness leftists who don’t support President Obama using biased media sources to support their arguments against this administration, while actively dampening down Democrats’ enthusiasm as we head into a crucial election. They simply do not recall, and perhaps simply don’t want to, exactly what actions the Obama administration took that got the Tea Party movement started. They would prefer to call President Obama a corporatist and blame everything negative on him, rather than realizing that they have been played by forces measurably more powerful than the President himself. Maybe it is because, in their hearts, they know that the corporate media is such a power, and they are too afraid to confront it, and so turn a blind eye as to what it is that the media does, apart from a weak-throated complaint now and then when they are the party aggrieved.

As I have in the past, I will again suggest that the next protest organized by those who say they care about our future has got to be against the corporate media. They are the ones we need to call attention to. They are the ones hiding in the shadows, working on keeping us too distracted to notice how easily they manipulate so many of us . We wear their puppet strings, while we act unaware, mostly out of convenience.

Look, there are still many on the left who would insist that the Obama administration go after members of the Bush administration for all that it did, most which could have only been accomplished via media duplicity. I would suggest that instead of spending so much time scorning this President, which is like cutting our nose off our face while putting a plastic bag over our head, we instead turn our ire where it belongs – upon the media – and stick to it and demand accountability as forcefully has we have been demanding it from one man. I’d love to see us hold the power-hungry manipulative SOBs responsible, just for once!
