2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLOPSIDED COVERAGE
Today there were two campaign speeches in Ohio. At the Rmoney speech the camera shot was extremely tight, showing maybe five rows of his audience. At President Obama's speech, the camera shot spanned out and showed the entire auditorium that was filled to capacity. President Obama delivered his speech in his usual calm, precise manner with a peppering of excitement that he controlled. The Mittster perspired his way through more rhetoric. Yet, the first things we hear are what President Obama did not do or say. What President Obama needs to do or say. What about the rich guy? How does he win parroting the same idiotic drivel over and over? Making haughty remarks about the president's eloquence of speech and delivery. Lying in the tall grass waiting for a word from the president he can use in an equally stupid commercial proving nothing. Moving his speech up an hour to usurp the president's thunder. Sending his baby idiots to heckle the president's supporters on a bus. If the president had done that to him, they would be filming the bus and reporting non-stop whatever was said or done. The coverage is lopsided.

(6,492 posts)CorpoPravda is owned, controlled, and managed by the same 1% who own Congress. The CorpoPravda talking bobbleheads are on the same corporate payroll as Congress is. The CorpoPravda bobbleheads serve their payroll masters just as certainly as the Congressional figureheads serve their payroll masters. The bigger the media get, the more completely controlled by greedy psychopaths they become.

(6,096 posts)the media declared him the winner. How about GW when he was wired during one of his debates? He even said "let me finish" when no one had spoken to him and his red light was not on. The media would not touch it. Of course if it had happened to a Dem they would have destroyed him or her.
I'm starting to really hate the ways of this country!!!!!!!!
How on earth can people be so blind and stupid? Well I know the answer, the watch TV and listen to the radio.

(459 posts)most of the media, because they are run by huge corporations, are leaning further to the right than what the public will ever know. It's not all that subtle either. Anyone above ground can see the obvious bend in the media bias. Midle of the road voters will never know what hit them.

Far as they are concerned, this country can go to hell in a handbasket, as long as they have theirs.

(20,219 posts)Yahoo disgusts me--every day, the way their "headlines" are worded. Always spun in favor of repukage, no matter who or what.
Also, their omnipresent ad banners from Spewsmax. Ugh!
