Study: Media Portrays McCain in 'Substantially Negative' Light Compared to Obama

CLEARLY LIBERAL MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIASED.

AMERICA ALREADY KNEW BEFORE STUDY.

2008 IS THE YEAR THE MEDIA DIED.

Straight talkers who claim the last two elections were stolen:

1. Is contrary to the truth given all investigations proved it wasn't so,

2. Are the same ones who created a federal law forbidding registrants to vote proving they are citizens

3. Want to allow people to vote without any ID

4. Go to illegal immigration rallies, encourage non-citizens to vote and promise to reduce enforcement of immigration laws.

It's for the children. It's only fair to look the other way...

Currently there are six nation talks negotiating with N. Korea. Obama wants to go back to the unilateral talks that failed with Clinton and Allbright.

For the last eight years Europe, Russia and the US have been negotiating with Iran. Obama wants unilateral talks with Iran.

Who is the proponent for go it alone cowboy diplomacy?

Obama

Choice one: Eliminate taxes for corporations and small businesses and you will get an economic boom with more jobs and higher pay.

Choice two: Take the US second highest tax rate in the world and increase it for both corporations as well as small businesses. Throw in a $3k one time bonus for hiring a new employee.

No longer allow union votes to be confidential but allow the union to identify all those who vote against it.

Require all business to provide health care or face a fine, even if they are barely profitable, even if it would force them to lose money.

Scrap trade deals that are favorable to the US and would add substantial jobs if union bosses say so, ie the Dems killing the Columbia trade pact.

If jobs were important to Dems why did they kill the deal?

Manna from heaven? A nice image, but this fear-mongering has to stop. It's a sadder day for a great nation when Americans don't realise that under the Republican administration that they are already losing aspects of their liberty and freedom. A nation cannot be a true democracy when they have had 2 stolen presidential elections, an administration which has contempt for domestic and international law and a president who does what he wants wherever he wants, regardless of the thousands of innocent deaths he is causing - deaths of both American soldiers and innocent civilians abroad. They may cry socialism at the Democrats, but in creating a climate of extreme fear and secrecy, and a policy of greater governmental intrusion the current administration is leading this great nation towards fascism. America has lost it's reputation at home and abroad due to it's unilateral foreign policy measures and under Bush's actions the US has become even more isolated and vulnerable. These policies will only continue with the hawkish McCain and war-mongering Palin and it will be a tragic day for America if they are elected. More than ever America needs the change that only the intelligent Obama/Biden administration will bring.

It's a sad time for American that so many Americans don't understand what protects their liberty and freedom and what destroys it and want change to more government intrusion in their lives, more taxes, more religious restrictions, less free speech, and fewer freedoms. Obama offers all of these wrapped in the magic candy wrapper of change and so many eat it up like manna from heaven. When we lose more of our freedom we will see our economy stagnate even more, our living standards decline, and have less power to reverse the process. A sad time for a great nation.

This is because he has 1 big problem called Sarah Palin - everyday some scandel is out about her.
It is one thing to mis-speak out on the trail - but when there are crimnal investigations going on as they are with Palin - the press has every right to print it. You had better choices than her - so just deal with it.

Jeannie, ok, so in your opinion the points you have mentioned are more important than the thousands of needless deaths caused by the mistaken policies of Bush/Cheney, which will continue with McCain. I don't really know where to begin, but let me go through your points one by one without comparing to McCain/Palin because frankly it's tiring to try and make people see sense when their minds are closed to it.

1) Ayers was an anti-war activist strongly opposed to the needless deaths caused by the Vietnam War. The methods deployed by the group were wrong, there's no question about that, but it is wrong to say he is unrepentant. What he has said is: "I said I had a thousand regrets, but no regrets for opposing the war with every ounce of my strength". Also as a highly respected and acclaimed professor, his work in Education Reform means that both parties have links with him - this isn't a negative. He has been doing much to benefit society for many years now and should not be tarnished forever. People need to get over this.

2) There's nothing to say about the Philly/Florida team thing and I cannot believe this issue has been raised.

3) There is no evidence that Obama will not be a friend to Israel, despite what McCain/Palin would have you believe. Obama's policies are actually better for Israel and the US than McCain's hawish policies which will only lead to more strife in the Middle-East.

4) Talking to leaders you don't like is not an intelligent policy and does not make the US (or Israel) more secure. In order to make any real progress these talks have to go ahead, and it is something that even the Republicans have realised. It's not about sitting down and "having tea" with them as McCain childishly said. It's about putting tough diplomacy/talks before pre-emptive wars.

If it comes down to good judgement, like you say, and for the candidate with the better vision for America, then the only credible option for President has to be Obama. He has the right temperament and intellect for the role and he is surrounding himself with equally credible people. It's an Obama administration who will keep America safe, not McCain's.

akmom said: They get the negative press because they have been running a sleezy negative campaign. It's hard to say positive things about a them because they are spewing so much negativity in general. It was Palin herself that started the extreme negativity and now we should feel sorry for her because she is getting back what she herself started?

Ummm how soon we forget. Mrs.Palin had just been introduced by McCain, as his running mate, and the Press was out there investigating. Within a week, the attacks started.

Stanley Kurtz, going to a radio studio to so a show, on his findings between Ayres, and Obama. Obama's campaign got wind of it, and sent out an email to all their supporters, to call and attack the show. This was the same week, as the DNC..BEFORE Palin gave her speech.

Remember Palin saying she wasn't here to seek the good approval of the media, but to speak to the people? The attacks started before that.

I agree attacks have come from both sides, but in no way did it start with Palin.

When I read some of these comments, I can see why Bush was elected. Twice. I can see why America is trillions of dollars in deficit, why America doesn't have universal healthcare, why 4000 American soldiers died, needlessly, fighting a war that should never have happened, why 30,000 American soldiers are wounded, and why 100,000 civilans died. And people still haven't learnt anything - instead choosing to focus on flimsy affiliations to people like Ayers like it matters. Really, is that what matters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my opinion, yes. It matters. It alludes to Obama's judgement, and honesty. 3 or more versions have come from Obama as to his association with William Ayres. Ayres was obviously close enough with Obama, to have Obama right a glowing review for his book. He spent time running the CAC with Ayres. Ayres wrote up the proposal, and Obama dictated where the money would go. Very little went to academics and the kids in the classroom, but rather to radical groups.

Ayres wants communism, and as recent as 2 years ago, he still attests to not being repentant. He wrote a manifesto for over throwing the government. This is someone whom Obama spent a great deal of time with, and announced his run for State Senate, in this mans house. These are not the actions of someone, who's just an acquaintance.

Obama has surrounded himself with many people that show antipathy toward Israel...and aren't exactly fond of America. I'm not saying Obama doesn't love America...but I think he loves the visual of America that he sees in his mind, and it's not the same America I grew up on.

He told Philly he was for their team, then went to Florida and told them he was for their team. Tell em anything to get elected. So was he telling us that only in America , would his story be allowed to happen? Or was that just words....just speeches? Say anything to get elected?

He's painted a pretty picture of a utopian world for us...but in reality, the funding to make this happen, just isn't there...and what can be done, will be to the detriment of this country.

He wants to deplete our military...and sitdown with a leader of a nation that supports terrorism, while the Jewish community is very uneasy about this, and after telling them, that Israel is an ally, and always will be. Meanwhile, Iran, has said outright, they have intentions on destroying Israel.

Without national security, and trust, there won't be an economy to worry about...so yes. It all falls back to judgements, and ideologies for me. I do not trust him.

They get the negative press because they have been running a sleezy negative campaign. It's hard to say positive things about a them because they are spewing so much negativity in general. It was Palin herself that started the extreme negativity and now we should feel sorry for her because she is getting back what she herself started?

WHERE IS THE F A I R M E D I A THAT WE USED TO HAVE. THIS SHOULD MAKE ALL AMERICANS VERY SCARED AT WHAT IS HA PPENING TO OUR RIGHTS. IF OBAMA IS ELECTED PRESIDENT WE WILL LOOSE A LOT MORE OF OUR RIGHTS. HE WILL HAVE THE GOVERMENT RUNNING OUR LIVES AND MAKING ALL OF OUR DECISION FOR US. HE WILL APPOINT ALL VERY LIBERAL JUDGES WHO WILL CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY. THEY WILL NOT MAKE DECISIONS BY USING THE LAW THEY WILL MAKE DECISIONS ON THEIR LIBERAL VIEWS. THEY WILL REWRITE OUR CONSTITUTION AND WE WILL SOON BECOME A SOCIALIST OR MARIXST COUNTRY LIKE SOME OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES LIKE FRANCE. WHY DO YOU THINK THESE FOREIGN COUNTRIES HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HIS CAMPAIGN THROUGH A LOT OF SMALL DONATIONS THAT HE DOSE NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WHO THEY ARE. HOW DO YOU THINK HE WAS ABLE TO RAISE OVER 6 MILLION DOLLARS FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. PLEASE WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. OBAMA AND HIS PARTY ARE VERY SMOOTH TALKERS DON'T LET THIS STOP YOU FROM USING YOUR OWN COMMON SENSE. STAND UP FOR AMERICA N O W .

1. Inexperience - BO's own running mate admits electing him is an ivitation to our enemies to test him, despite the rhetorical flourish whitewash. No military experience. No significant experience of any type that is applicable to the Presidency.

2. Questionable character - swimming in America hating friends and associates (Wright, Ayers, Rezko, ACORN). Campaign financing flip flop, etc.

3. Economics - wants to apply liberal tax and spend initiatives in a period of economic turmoil, abandon the capitalistic system that has made the US a superpower for a western european socialist model, which hasn't worked; wage Marxist class warfare.

4. Biden - media assails Sarah Palin on a daily basis while giving the gaffe machine a complete pass. One heartbeat away....

5. Liberal Supermajority - imagine waking up on Nov 5 and knowing your government is controlled by BO/Pelosi/Reid unchecked. They of the 9% approval rating. Horror.

6. National security - has built a career around undermining our President, our war efforts and our troops. Opposition to the troop surge. Suggested that the UN Security Council that Russia has veto power on should resolve the Russia / Georgia conflict. Wants to legitimize rogue dictators by giving them a forum to sit down and negotiate with top levels of US government.

As for honesty....has Obama told us how the Democrats want to scrap our 401k's, and start a new program, that makes us beholden to the government? Another 5% of your paycheck is all that's needed to fund this program.

Well since government has done such a GREAT job with social security...I say...boooooooooooooooo

A CNN reporter either didn't do his homework, has difficulty, with reading comprehension, or all out lied, in an interview with Sarah Palin.

He completely distorted words used in an article written about the Press's hatred for Palin, by calling her names. The CNN reporter worded it to Mrs. Palin in such a manner, to make one believe the writer thought this of Mrs. Palin, and put it to paper.

Compare what the CNN reporter said, to the story...and it's an all out lie.

Obama is the sleazebag here. He is to much of a coward to do it himself so he tells his supporters to 'get in their (McCain supporters) face, yell'. He has the entire MSNBC network working for his campaign. He has the 'truth squads' Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement.
NY Times Reporters have written Op Ed pieces threatening riots and violence if Obama loses.
He sent an Army of Lawyers to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin.
He has every LEFTEST RADICAL CELEBRITY saying the most disgusting lies about Sarah Palin and John McCain.
He has ACORN fraudulently signing up nonexistent voters.
The list is NEVER ENDING.
Barack Obama is the worst candidate to ever be nominated for the office of President, and when it is pointed out that is called hate speech...

A journalist, named William Tate got a call from an Obama campaign volunteer...and this was a line told to him, by the volunteer.

Sarah Palin belongs to a church whose pastor believes in witchcraft, and that she is anti-Semitic.

The vitriol is coming from both sides.

I would also suggest, if you want...to google some information. SOme old, some new.

The name Larry Grathwohl. He became an FBI informant, and was once a part of the weather underground. There is a video, from a documentary. He tells how if those who couldn't be re-educated in re-education camps, by teaching us how to forgo capitalism....extermination was in order, and 25 million was a number given.

The Weather Underground Manifesto is out today as well, for down load.

person calls themself straight talker; you are wrong

==Sometimes drama works, sometimes it doesn't. The McCain campaign has had plenty of it. It just hasn't worked.

You may be right - we'll see on Nov 4. The point though is that people should be reaching these conclusions on their own, not having the news media shove it down their throats.
