W.Va media trying it's best to give rightwingers airtime before Obama/Biden visit
Edited on Wed Apr-21-10 03:37 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
WSAZ did a story on the 'mixed reactions' of the area, based off interviews with three, count 'em, three people.

Meanwhile, The Charleston Daily Mail does a big feature on Obama opponents and whether they plan to protest the president coming to deliver a eulogy for the fallen miners.

So when a Democratic president makes a non-political visit, the local media immediately look for a way to make it political, and then accuse the Democrat of bringing politics into it.

Funny thing is, when Bush and Cheney flew in here endlessly before 2004 on political visits to campaign, they never talked to critics. All we heard from local TV was about how much Bush "cared' for W.Va. I can't seem to remember any pre-visit interviews with anti-war activists or Democrats.

That darn lib'rul media, i guess.

1. I find it deplorable that anyone would protest this sad event...
...for any reason.

I sincerely hope they don't.
