Why Does the MSM Insist of being Stupid went talking about candidates?
Tonight on Cspan's Road to the White House, they played the speech Barack Obama gave at Sharpton's 'primary' yesterday. The day before Hillary spoke and earlier, I think Wednesday, Edwards spoke.
As we all know from 2004, obama can let rip a rousing cry and speech to keep people on their feet whooping and clapping. But, when speaking to an indoor audience, he purposely tones things down and gives more of a talk than a stump speech.
But, whether doing one or the other, the audience listens intently.
Well, apparently the day before Hillary gave one of her red meat speeches. Good for her. She does those pretty good. And she got the audience whipped up.
The next day, when Obama spoke, he did not give a red meat speech but, a good indoor one. It was very good. and the audience sat and listened rapt.
This seems to say that both kinds of speeches were appreciated by the crowd and they liked the different styles.
Obama drew several chants of his name but, no rousing whip up.
However, the msm, always plays the red meat speech as a really great one and the more conversational one as a downer and did not get the same reaction as the other. No duh. but, they don't see or say that both speeches were appreciated for their different messages and styles.
I not ranting. I'm just wondering. Not all good speeches are red meat. And why cannot they not see audiences appreciating the difference in all the speakers. it kinda baffles me.

1. Hey, they're paid good money to be stupid.
And their jobs are at risk when they're not stupid.

So guess what they do?

2. Grammar check, the spell check whenever using "stupid."
Great points that were somewhat nullified by the appearance of bad grammar.

3. i have get a "WTF ???? " reaction after actually seeing an event or appearance
and then the reporting of it on the whore media. either these people are intentionally misleading just to make something out of nothing or they are ask people to just show clips of the red meat stuff in order to make a story and their jobs easier. it's actually the same thing.

they aren't doing their jobs and just being assholes.
