Time to THINK about something folks;

[The Doctor.]

The M$M has been pursuing the Rev. Wright issue relentlessly. They've made it, and Obama's comments on the issue, the number one story about the primary, successfully interjecting 'race' issues where they otherwise wouldn't have dared.

Meanwhile, the only outlet that reports on both the issue of Wright (in less negative terms than the M$M does) and Clinton's lying, backsliding, and numerical improbability of her nomination is the actual 'Liberal Media' including Randi Rhodes, Keith Olbermann, and Air America in general.

What does this tell us?

It is apparent that the M$M is aligned much more with Clinton in this primary.

Oh sure, I'm certain that if Hillary had an honest-to-God bombshell drop on her campaign, they'd report it, but what about the lies about NAFTA? The undermining of the party? I've heard very little and I've been flipping around CNN, MSNBC, and even Faux News these last several days only to be bombarded by the non-issue of Rev. Wright. Yep, there it is... just put on Fox at 7:31 EST and what's the story? "Pastor at Obama's Church on Wright's 'Lynching'."

Now, I'm still of the opinion that Clinton would be a far better President than any Republican. She has a fair enough record, but being aligned with the pro-corporate DLC, it's quite apparent that many aspects of the status quo will not be touched by her Presidency... something the Corporate Media would be very happy with.

So, we have to ask; "If the M$M is apparently more favorable in it's reporting on Clinton, what does that tell us about who will more likely be The People's candidate?"

1. When is the cable news going to talk about the Dem turnout to vote vs. the Republicans.

It's 3:1, and that is huge news I think. That's more real than any damn poll.

3. I think it will be a long time before they do.

If you notice that most of the commercials on cable news are for investment companies, pharmaceutical companies, and banks.

9. The MSM is not aligned with Ms Clinton....

It is apparent that the M$M is aligned much more with Clinton in this primary.

They are aligned with the sensational. Just like alot of people watch for the excitement of the crash in nascar,and the train wrecks and destruction on the extreme video shows, Ms Clinton s story and resulting crash is definitely sensational, just as Mr Obamas story was sensational when he beat her the first time.

His story will be sensational again when he finally closes the deal or she dies in a fiery blaze trying to take him down.

2. More importantly, McCain's "pastor issues" are untouched...

5. Worse, they 'touch' on them to give the appearance of coverage,

but only use that topic to segue into an exhaustive discussion on Wright.

6. There's that...

7. and villager

where the fuck is the woman he was alleged to have an affair with anyway? Does ANYBODY believe if it was an Obama story that this woman wouldn't be as much on TV and all over YouTube as Ashley Dupre. No one has even bothered to find her to ask her any questions-it's almost like she or the story doesn't exist.

11. I think that might be more of a media dynamic.

The 'current race' is between Clinton and Obama, therefore the attention.

12. well, SoFlaJet. Exactly.

4. one of the reasons Edwards

and also Obama have a bullseye on them is for their attacks on the drug companies.

8. It's not they like Clinton they feel they can beat Clinton. Not this time. Obama 08.

[The Doctor.]

10. I'm sure they also believe that Clinton is more apt to give them license.

Let's face it, there's a really good chance McCain is going down no matter who the candidate is. It just won't be close if Obama runs.
