The M$M are gunning for Biden

[bidenista]

I can't say I'm surprised, but with Fournier's piece for the AP, and now Reuters' piece on Iraqi reaction, it is getting annoying.

Has anyone else seen indications of other corporate media "narratives" which are going to be employed against Biden emerging?

There is something really sobering about the fact that our candidate is ahead when he has to contend with the RNC AND Corporate Media.

1. Fournier is a wingnut hack who almost went to go work for the McCain campaign.

He might have an iron grip on the AP, but he's not the entire MSM, and for the most part, I believe the press actually likes Biden.

7. Yeah as someone pointed out

the AP is controlled or owned by some winger.

Tidbits:

Before Ron Fournier returned to The Associated Press in March 2007, the veteran political reporter had another professional suitor: John McCain's presidential campaign.

In October 2006, the McCain team approached Fournier about joining the fledgling operation, according to a source with knowledge of the talks. In the months that followed, said a source, Fournier spoke about the job possibility with members of McCain's inner circle, including political aides Mark Salter, John Weaver and Rick Davis.

We learned not too long ago that Fournier exchanged emails with Karl Rove about Pat Tillman, in which Fournier wrote, "The Lord creates men and women like this all over the world. But only the great and free countries allow them to flourish. Keep up the fight." Fournier was also one of the journalists who, at a gathering of the nation's newspaper editors, extended McCain a box of his favorite donuts ("Oh, yes, with sprinkles!" McCain said).

Oh yay!!!!!! Sprinkles!!!!! :rofl:

I say we should just call Fournier "Sprinkles" from here on out. :-)

12. David Gregory just parroted the AP/Fournier/McCain mantra: "Biden GIVES gravitas and experience

to Obama, who is lacking in these areas. Biden will be the reassuring presence to Americans."

WTH??????????????????

13. Biden will not let the press stand in the way of this ticket - and obviously neither will Obama.

I think they gave the msm a big f-you this past week.
