WHY IS THIS NEWS? [The media's obsession with Obama]

Author: DavidJones  //  Category: Politics

*

There’s no doubt that much of the media has turned from objective journalism to spearheading a fan club for President Barack Obama. However, even though I shouldn’t be, I continue to be more surprised daily by how far the media will go to praise the President.

Today, things might have hit a new low. I was looking on the front page of USAToday.com for some REAL news, when I came across this FRONT PAGE story:

Dead on: Obama kills fly in on-camera interview
Video: Nice aim, Mr. President. A pesky fly interrupts a CNBC interview with the president, and undeterred, Obama smacks it dead on camera.

When you click on the link, you can actually read the report and watch the video (below) of President Obama killing the fly.

Sadly, it looks like we’ll have at least 4 years of the media telling us every time he sneezes, coughs, blinks, or wins a game of Battleship. And when he does win at Battleship, don’t be surprised to hear it used as an illustration of how he’ll win the battle in Iraq, against terrorism, and the battle with the economy and health care. If he loses at Battleship, the media will just blame it on George Bush.

Where Do You Get Your News?

Author: DavidJones  //  Category: Politics, TV

Very simple question today. I guess this could be somewhat election-related. But, I’m just curious…where do you get your news and who do you get it from?

Do you keep it locked on CNN for Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, and Larry King?

Do you play “hardball” with MSNBC and keep an eye on Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, and Rachel Maddow?

Do you like to keep things “fair and balanced” on Fox News with Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteren?

Are you only a local news person?

Where do you get your news?
