The media did everything to help Obama except drive his voters to the polls

Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 09:06 PM by billbuckhead

Hillary's toughest opponent isn't Obama, edwards or even the Republicans, it's the media. it can't ever be said again that she's the corporate media's candidate after this amazing week of the media trying to manipulate the election toward Obama.

The Clinton mantra, "Elections are our friend".

1. Yup. That's the story of this election cycle.

The media isn't even trying to hide their tracks this time.

5. Either that, or they said O would take it enough so people slacked...

One good thing will come from this (of course, it's not over yet, but either way): people won't trust polls for the rest of the cycle, at all.

That's a good thing to have happen this early in the cycle. People will get off their asses even when there's a presumed winner. So we might actually have something more closely approximating an actual opinion of the people.
