Media and Obama both lose credibility….About time!

[UpstateNYRN]

As I have been screaming from the start, the biggest story this primary election season has been the disgusting behavior of the media. They all have been guilty of manipulation of the system. Perverse is the way they have elevated Obama to an almost “savior” status, who alone can save the world by simply being “Obama” and convincing us all to just “believe”. We have witnessed grown male media personalities claiming they get tingles up their thigh as he speaks, camera angles panning out to audiences that show little girls with tears in their eyes as if they were at some boy band concert, combined with the incessant, vicious personal attacks against the Clintons, Hillary supporters, or anyone else who dare not join the Obama/Media cult. Hillary has had to endure a battle against the media at every twist and turn as they have vilified and maligned her as they openly stated they were out to “derail” her run for the presidency. At the same time, Obama was not only left unquestioned and unchallenged by the media but was openly and flagrantly promoted across all networks in one big Obama commercial.

So what has changed? That is pretty easy to figure out. Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island all did exactly what I (not that I’m so smart) predicted they would. They showed the media that they were smarter than the political pundits, media hacks and dim witted pollsters who were all complicit in the corrupt attempts to take away the right of the people to pick their own candidate. Well guess what? It blew up in their faces. Now we can start to see them turn on each other. It started with CNN (as I pointed out in an earlier post) trying to make a preemptive move to save face by asking the question of whether or not the media was showing a bias, following the SNL skit mocking the sickening Obama worship behavior. Then as if the flood gates were opened they all began to run or swim to higher ground, so that they somehow could escape drowning in the negative public opinion and try to spin the situation to save whatever credibility they could. Now the pendulum swings all the way to the other extreme as the media back bite each other and finger point, double talk, reinvent their positions and try to convince the viewers that somehow their dirty deeds either never happened or were the work of “those other stations”. Ah….I hope they now suffer!

What’s next? The short answer here is Obama is done for. I guess you might say he who lives by the media eventually dies by the media. Now under public scrutiny the media will try to redeem themselves by throwing this man to the wolves. It really is a shame and speaks to the level that the media is willing to sink to. As far as they are concerned, they are many careers and he is but one. I for one do not take any pleasure in watching any person suffer, and while I am a staunch Hillary supporter I can’t help but feel a bit sorry as I see this man come to the end of his run consumed by the very media that created him. On the bright side however, Hillary is now the only viable (as if we ever doubted it) candidate to take the White House and end this eight year Republican strangle hold that has all but collapsed our economy and way of life. After the twenty some odd years the media and Republican party have attacked Hillary she still remains at the top of her game and that shakes them to their core. Hillary will become the next president because it is her destiny and it will be our good fortune. Media be damned!

[MS BLUEGRASS]

The problem is so obvious to anyone watching the "Obamaman love fest" that Big Media has with this candidate. I think it is going to backfire on his candidacy and some of these commentators/Obama evangelists/pundits who are masquerading as television reporters aka ....employees of CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, ABC, CBS, NBC etc.
I am so proud of HILLARY CLINTON and the poise, humor, and intelligence with which she conducts herself. She stays above the fray and on point continuing to emphasize her platform and her ability to get our country and our economy back on track. To: SENATOR CLINTON, CONTINUE TO HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH AND MOVING FORWARD....WE WILL SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

[brushrider]

I totally agree-- The media is corrupt. I hope the American people will now ignore them & realize what's really happening here. Now that Obama is exposed as having connections to thugs & anti-American/racial figures, I think he's finished. But what worries me is that it may have come too late.. & this reluctance to seat the votes in Fl and MI! That's an injustice, too! That former Clinton advisor Morris keeps saying Hillary can't possibly win the nomination and we're STUCK with Obama! What do you think of this? If Obama does indeed get the nomination, I think he's sunk & we'll end up with another 4 yrs. of the Republican way which might take us right into a depression...as well as a continuing war. I'm praying that somehow Hillary will prevail in all this.

[hillary4change]

NYSTATERN
I couldnt agree with you more.

This sickening love fest for Obama is disgusting at best. I can't imagine what the vote totals would have been, had oblahblah been fully vetted by the media to begin with.

Imagine what people would have said about him as a viable candidate, if they had heard the racist anti-American statements by his Mentor at the start. Then heard Michelle say that she "was proud of her country for the first time in her adult life". The question of why would someone say such a thing would have been answered, with a resounding no vote for obama. We would not be in this Delegate pickle and a laughing stock by the repiglicans.

I can only hope that people have not so made up their minds as to an Obama vote, that they are no longer tuned into the media and have no idea as to what is going on.

Well I guess it is safe to say, I needed to vent!!! I feel much better now!!
Go Hillary..We have your back!!!

[hillary4change]

Sorry I meant to address this to UPSTATENYRN.

[HONESTY]

To UpstateRN.
I agree with your disgust with the media. I am repugnant by their biased comments.
I feel at home here. It is hard to voice my fustration in the anti-Hillary blogs (CNN, MSNBC, etc) where they usually block anything that critizes Obama. I do not agree that the media is now "turning against him". More than 24 hrs from his speech, many are still elevating his speech to the "best in this decade" to the best "this century" comparing him with MLK. Those not praising him as much, are so eager to move on to other topics (much like the the other Obamatrons) , which don't get me wrong - I know are important, but just because they want this over. In my mind this is THE ISSUE. This relationship with this pastor, counselor, mentor, friend, "almost family", speaks volumes of the man we simply DO NOT KNOW because he has been all about words.
Why did BO not walk out of that church the minute he heard incindiary comments and continued to expose his daugthers to years of this poisoneous and hateful sermons? Either the man is so stupid (not) or he is the most calculating and ambitious politician who never for one second vacilated about walking this double life. This really is 1000 X worse that the marital infidelity we usually crucify politicians for.
I never, and still dont, thought of him as a separatist nationalist of the line of Farrakan. But you can't help and wonder what is he?
In a culture where the media and many Americans are fascinated with the extramarital affairs of our politicians. We crucify them for being disloyal to their wifes and families (rightly so) and then they are done, finito, OVER, why are we so eager to forgive a man who has eaten, visited, courted, prayed, inhabited the same sanctuary of hate that this Farrakan lover has? Isn't this much more profound?.
Why is the media so satisfied with a "speech" and the lame explanation of "I can no more disown him than I can disown my grandmother"
I am deeply troubled with what I see. So while I agree that both media and Obama both loose, I still think that the media is still excusing, praising him and maybe just maybe......this will all pass. For the good of this country I hope that is not the case.

So I want to exhort ALL HILLARY supporters to keep the pressure, with the media we so much hate, with the blogs, with the calls, with the travels and troops in the ground.
We can not hope that the media will continue to cover this story. The Obama loving media will want to bury this. We should remind them that is not possible.
The remaining voting States will see this and the contest is not yet over. WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS ISSUE ALIVE SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR HIS LACK OF JUDGEMENT AT THE VERY LEAST!!!!!!
REMEMBER, BO RUNS ON THE SLOGAN OF "JUDGMENT TO LEAD".....OH REALLY?

lETS KEEP THIS TOPIC ALIVE AND DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR NOBODY. WE CAN STILL SAVE AMERICA FROM BUSH CHAPTER 3.

[Patricia GA]

I was so upset with the reporting before New Hampshire. It made me "ill". I wrote MSNBC because of the terrible display they made the night before New Hampshire. They were like vultures drooling over the demise of Hillary Clinton and when I wrote I told them that too. So, I went on mainly watching CNN because the MSNBC crew sickened me. Now CNN is on my vulture list for they have acted like this Rev Wright thing just needs to be worked out and so forth. CNN showed their love for Obama too. Now, I always surf the news including Fox, but believe me I have known Fox is not fair and balanced and will go after Hillary with a vengence when they decide the time is right. The Fox news super vultures will go after Hillary with all they got before we know it, but right now their prey is Obama. You know I was for Hillary Clinton early early on before she announced and really had no deep dislike of Obama. But then after I read more about Obama and heard the media make Obama their political god...(example: making Chris Matthews leg tingle) I began to more than dislike him. If the DNC does not get this thing straighted out McCain is going to be our president and we are going to be in Iraq for 100 years. I AM SO FRUSTRATED! Hillary Clinton is a fighter and I shutter to think what our country would be without her.

[joeysky18]

The media will say or do anything to get Obama elected. But I don't know why they do that. I don't know what is the motive behind their actions.

[Patsy]

The media will say or do anything to get Obama elected. But I don't know why they do that. I don't know what is the motive behind their actions.

All MSM outlets are owned by Republican controlled companies.

Also, according to them, the Clinton's did not pander to them during the 90s and they can't seem to get over it.

They'll pay in the end.

If McCain gets elected, we will have a draft and then Mitt Romney's sons and some of the children of these pundits will actually have to serve this Nation. Wonder how they'll feel then. Bet they'd like to trade their tax breaks, for the heartbreak that they don't know yet, but so many Americans do.

[Cooney]

I don't know whether any of you have seen her approval ratings lately, but they are high and climbing. So much for "devisive". She is winning the hearts and minds of Americans. People are realizing their is this "The Hillary I know". She is getting republicans onto her side now as well. It will only get better as time goes on. When you think about the horrible character assination by the MSN, how well liked she getting. Whoda thunk!

A woman is like a tea bag, you don't know how strong she is until she is in hot water. Eleanor Rosevelt

[Cooney]

People it is all about sexism. The pundits are old white men, and they can't stand the fact that a woman is doing so well. They are in love with BO because he is a man. The women pundits are sure as hell not going to get up and scream you guys are nuts. So the women play along, enabling the men, making them feel smart and right, just like we always do. They don't have a clue. My husband and I had a contest for awhile where we kept track of every sexist remark, if you really listen, it is all there to see, as putrid as it is.

[MarkMiller]

There was a memeber over at the HBO Real Time with Bill Marer site that claimed to be a journalist from CNN. You should have heard all the crap this guy was spewing. He was the worst Obamamaniac at that site and he was manipulating that site and it's members to further the Obama cause. It was disgusting.

[HONESTY]

You Are Right!
It Is All About Sexism.....what A Tragedy!

[samkm]

Barack tries to deflect his issue of racism and anti-american statement by dishing out at Hillary with a sexist statement "Kitchen sink strategy" in referring to Hillary's demands that MI and FL voters' voice be heard in the democratic process. The expression was so far used mostly by media.

Barack just managed to get his 4th direct hit.
- Corruption, Racism, Anti-American, Sexism..

[Of course, these go on top of initially raised relatively mild Plagiarism, which doesnt seem to have gone to grate on anyone quite so much as Canadian staunch supporters of intellectual property rights.. but that's a concern too. Consider this: what credibility would he have in defending the country's IP rights in attacking countries like China doing free copying and duplication of our copyrighted products and technologies.. Ha!]

[SunnyInCal]

MSNBC has turned into OBAMANBC, CNN is not quite as bad but is on it's way. I am so angry that the fair and unbiased media has forced me to watch fox just to get both sides of a story. I am soooooo angry. Sending comments via their website does nothing. Maybe we need a petition to get them to listen. Who knows.

I was so upset with the reporting before New Hampshire. It made me "ill". I wrote MSNBC because of the terrible display they made the night before New Hampshire. They were like vultures drooling over the demise of Hillary Clinton and when I wrote I told them that too. So, I went on mainly watching CNN because the MSNBC crew sickened me.

[SunnyInCal]

It's becoming to look like it's all about gender. Hillary is a woman. A woman making history as the first president.. eh.. it's alright but haven't women come far enough really. That's what the boys club members say. But Barack making BIRACIAL (not black) history is seen as more important for some reason.

The media will say or do anything to get Obama elected. But I don't know why they do that. I don't know what is the motive behind their actions.

[TRAIL BLAZE ME IN]

FOX NEWS SHOWING COMPARISON BUT NOT ENOUGH!! ANYBODY FINDING QUESTION CONCERNING INTERGRITY AND HONESTY AFTER VIEWING THAT? CNN just came on announcing the Obama campaign saying Clinton can't be president because of character flaws? Let's run that first interview on Obama and Anderson Cooper that aired in comparison on Wright and talk about character in question and what disingenuous is all about!

[hillarymyhero]

From day one, I have been crying out loud that CNN and MSNB are full of hateful propaganda against our hero Hillary.

I believe in opposite what they say?

Please, don't let media choose our President, enough.

[djack]

The skit on SNL with Russert fawning over Obama is closer to the truth than most main stream coverage. The 'debates' consist of them asking Obama if he needs a cushion and asking Sen. Clinton how she felt when she found out Bill got a blow job a decade or so ago.
St. Barack goes to a church where the minister damns America and his wife says she was never proud to be an American until her husband was running for president. But when he makes a speech speaking in generalities as usual he's awarded the "Talk A Good Game" trophy.
You can have hope but you can't count on hope. How many times do things turn out the way you hoped they would?

[pjperry]

I was soooo happy to have found this website. I would watch the news CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and my blood pressure would rise. I asked myself, "doesn't anyone else see all that the media is doing to Hillary"? From the way they talk about her to even the angle of the camera they use compared to Obama, etc. I now watch CSpan and use the internet for my information.

I hope when this is said and done, dispite if Hillary becomes president or not; that a book be written and that some public television program air a documentary on the horrid media treatment of Hillary (Our first female to have gone this far).

MSNBC should be boycotted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leahchamblee]

I don't have any TV access (except dvd, vhs) because of the overthrow of Gore. When I turned it on again after 9/11. watching images of those planes going into buildings was a bit much, then with the war talk, lightning struck my cable line, and blew everything connected to my cable. This is when I decided not to renew cable, and have lived commercial free since. What a difference my viewpoint on life is.
A friend told me I am throwing myself out of the mainstream of American life. One year after doing that, I was at a restaurant talking with a waitress and she began talking about a show. I had no clue what she was talking about, then she did another, and finally I had to confess. It blew her away, but also made me realize how much we use TV to find commonality with each other.
Well I do have friends and family so of course I do see things on TV at times. But now when I go to my mother's who likes watching the news. I will turn my back to the TV and will only watch if it is c-span.
I can barely read the papers anymore because of their obvious bias. I was trained as a journalist and these papers are worse than High School rags. My college paper had more integrity. Even the way they say Obama says, but McCain derides and Clinton berates. That is yellow journalism to the core.
The other thing that I have noticed since being TV free, women are just unnatural on TV. You see guys with guts, guys with these really strong personalities, but even in the middle of a 5 day tornado, women will have make-up on, their nails done, and are like a size 0. We tend to begin believing this crap on a subliminal level. This type of physical type that the media portrays is sexist.

I think that if we began boycotting TV, until more common sense women are portrayed (plain women, heavy women, women with strong personalities, women we dislike and also women we like who are heavy, plain and strong-willed) it would go a long way to stopping the gendism present in the US today.

MJoe was reminding us of this... when asked what made it harder the fact that she was an AA or a woman...."HANDS DOWN SHE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN" oh yes... herein lies the difficulties and it is the BIASED MEIDA and the DEMS BOYS and some girls *REAL MEN & WOMEN LET WOMEN SHINE and SUCEED... are threatened by her and let's face it ... there would be a glass ceiliing broken FOREVER.... (with bo it will just be more chaos and discontent and frustraion and it won't have to change because he is an image, object and it is not what we will really end up with and that is most frightening of all...THIS INSPIRES ME TO WORK HARDER FOR HILLARY!

[ctjd01]

You know, I've hear them make jokes about Hillary eating babies and puppies. Somehow, I wonder, if human beings were like animals and really did eat their weak, where would Chris Matthews, Olberman, Pelosi, Reeds, Dean, Andrea Mitchell and especially Tim Russert be today? These are the weakess of the entire bunch of media hating pundits. Their mommies would have eaten them within seconds of their births!

We give them power by viewing their shows, w/us, they are nothing. I say we boycott their shows begining at least with one day and see how powerful they really are. We ensure them of their ratings. We need to flex our muscles and show them how valuable we are.

From day one I am shocked at American media bias against Hillary. All these CNN pigs and media bitches along with MSNBC's stinky rats and wolves barking against Hillary 24/7 makes me realize that Hillary is one of a kind, she is superior, genius, and international leader. She is a genuine leader born in generations.

These media bitches, Anderson, Amy Holmes, Susan Val, Wolf Blitzer, Jack Cafferty, Lou Dobb , Glen Back(the most disgusting ) and so many more , the way they insult Hillary is just sick and they don't even realize that this is ILLEGAL AND there is no one who can ask them and sue them for such tormenting campaign and bias against Hillary.

Hillary is still standing, she is our destiny, she is our hero, she is our President and she is destined to be world class leader.

The way they treat Hillary as pariaha makes me think as if Hillary is not from America. Shame, shame, shame.

[nette60]

Better Yet What Are They afraid of?

[samkm]

They are afraid of media reform.. Of insistence on journalism and reporting rather than effort to become the news.

Chelsea will not take interviews from the press...
- she is supporting her parents while leveraging her opportunity to grow
- she, like her mom, holds that media's role is to report what they observe. They can come, observe and report.
They do not like it. They want to get her to talk and twist her words. She like her mom will not give them much room to twist her words.

That, media does not like.

Media also does not like it that there is no second shoe left int he closet to drop. Juicy stories are what makes the media work. A loaded closet full of shady characters that they cannot quite question yet... that is what they like. It is something that has a lot of media-potential. Now, that, media ownership likes greatly.

[mjoynaples]

there is so much that is getting by the regular folks who never use computers or just listen to their station forever... how to get this attention out there to make a difference for HILLARY!!!! she is not the enemy SHE IS THE BEST ONE FOR THE JOB!!!!

[califlefty]

There is a tremendous amount of hatred allowed to be directed at Hillary Clinton by enablers like Ed Schultz (Jones Radio) who pose as "neutral" voices but are secret surrogates for the likes of Tom Daschle. It's done tremendous damage to the party. I hope that should Hillary win the nomination these voices of division are shown the door.

[Wales for Hillary]

I dont really believe in polls, but the line about 23% being pissed off by BO advertising made me giggle. And if shes gonna win men. Tuesday will be a big day.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 48% to 44% among men (45% of likely Democratic primary voters). Among women, Clinton leads 64% to 31%.

Clinton leads 64% to 29% among white voters (82% of likely Democratic primary voters). Obama leads 79% to 18% among African American voters (14% of likely Democratic primary voters).

Clinton leads 52% to 43% among voters age 18 to 49 (50% of likely Democratic primary voters) and Clinton leads 62% to 31% among voters age 50 and older.

10% of all likely Democratic primary voters say they would never vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary and 24% of likely Democratic primary voters say they would never vote for Barack Obama in the primary.

23% of likely Democratic primary voters say that excessive exposure to Obama's advertising is causing them to support Clinton.

I,M from Quebec city and i,ve been watching dem primaries since January

I agree with you.Hillary is the negative target of the medias. Evrey thing she

said is misinterpreted with a lack of judgement.Cnn, MSNBC, fox etc...are

more complaisant of all Obama speeche and his controversial friendships.

Hoping America won't elect a guy like Obama because he has two faces.

God bless Hillary,and God bless America.

[keys_11]

One problem I have with Obama and the medias love affair with him is if he becomes president will the media hold him accountable or will they cover for him until its to late and they cant hide it any more. Let’s face it with Hillary as president you know they will hold her accountable

Anne -- Thank-you so much for your observations. It's good to see a Canadian point of view. And in one sentence you've summed up the basic reason why I could not support Obama.
We in this group have faith that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party nominee and will be our next US President.

[Robin Orlowski]

I would LOVE to see Hillary get the nomination--and BO have to do some serious explaining re: his declarations to the press.

It would reinforce his lack of experience and incompetence much better than anything we could do.

[Ronda in Oregon]

I have always been a supporter of Hillary. The current setting of the way the media is working in cahoots with Obama is disgusting! We all know the reasons why we support Hillary. We all also know the reasons why we must do everything we can to insure Obama doesn't get the nomination. Even if he would be our only democratic nominee what has come into play for me is - my personal values being negated by him on who I am and what I believe and my gender. Obama has spoke ill of me in relation to each of those issues and this means more then insuring a democrat makes it into the White House. I propose to anyone who feels the same way that if we start posting that if Hillary loses nomination or is forced out we are prepared to do this - jump on McCain train to slam Obama until November bringing up more negatives for him. November we will write in Hillary's name on the ballot. We have still remained with Dem. party but have let them know we will not be treated like this. Also if Obama believes he will not win without us he and the media will stop calling for Hillary to quit. She will be left alone to win on her merits and we know she can. What say you? If you agree say Hi5 on your opinions and blogs posted. Thank you, Ronda in Oregon Hi5!!!!!!

The media will say or do anything to get Obama elected. But I don't know why they do that. I don't know what is the motive behind their actions.

Me either joey and what does cross my mind scares the H out of me...Even if Hillary does win...what will our elections be like from here on out???? Will we have to fight tooth and nail to keep this anti American agenda out of our country every 4 years....Obama is new on the scene...But look who is backing him...Kerry, Kennedy,Dean, and it goes on and on....Why would they stay with the guy after all the risks????? Jimmy Carter talking with hammas:confused: Then supporting Bo???? Its all to much to wrap our brains around....

[joeylee]

As I read the initial post and the after posts, I just kept on nodding my head. I happen to be pretty ill today, I think it's the flu, ever, sore throat, you name it. Any way, it all started at the very beginning, when there were some 15 or so Democrats running. I have always been a Joe Biden, John Edwards fan, amongst others. But as I watched, without any explanation, the media simply concentrated their cameras at each debate on the one "Sparkling Candidate", always, with Senator Clinton within range, as well as John Edwards, and so, it was then the three of them.

It amazed me even then, at just how much of an impact they had, the Media, as several of the potential candidates, any one of which had more experience than Senator Obama could ever have, simply dropped out of the picture altogether.

Think back... It was a full stage, then a stage of maybe 5, two other brave souls, only to be dropped within weeks. Then, there were three, Senator Obama, the "Sparkle Man", Senator Clinton, and John Edwards.
Several of the others had no real reason to drop out when they did, some may have actually had a chance, certainly some had more of a chance than Mike Huckabee, yet they dropped out of the camera lens. Looking back, some never even announced their dropping out, they just did.

Now, here we are and where is that camera? Still on the "Sparkle Man", he shines on every screen, every camera, shows youth, is responded to like a "Rock Star" yet has these skeletons that, no doubt, will be the end of his "Sparkling Campaign". I see no possible win for him, none. Myself and David have tried in every way to look at him objectively, so we would be able to cast our votes in the Fall. But, not once did we ever, either of us, declare even a possibility that we could cast a ballot for him.

For us, it's not between going to the polls to cast a vote for Senator McCain or simply stay at home, the second is the more likely of the two, as I cannot vote for someone simply to vote against another. So, I will sit at home, and as I will accept my fate, I will try not to complain for the next four years. I have always held a moral that if one doesn't vote they do not have the right to complain.

This morning, after having to call my Doctor on a Saturday morning for antibiotics and cough medicine, I came on line, wrote letters to several editors giving my opinion of what they have created, a shallow "character", already set to be defeated, Democratic Candidate, one that I, nor anyone I know personally can ever imagine casting a ballot for.

If I were not so sick I would be sick.

the media drives me so crazy i have started avoiding them actively. i need to focus my energy on the upcoming contests and the convention this summer.

it's appalling to me that it seems to be so acceptable, so allowable to denigrate hillary.

however, what is more appalling (if possible) is how they have pushed obama as some kind of new, perfect candidate. they have shoved hillary aside over and over, to concentrate on their new "cult of personality" they have fostered.

my energy, my money, and my thoughts - along with groups like this - help me keep focused on what is meaningful: to get people to see through the hype and to the person who belongs in the white house.

I was soooo happy to have found this website. I would watch the news CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and my blood pressure would rise. I asked myself, "doesn't anyone else see all that the media is doing to Hillary"? From the way they talk about her to even the angle of the camera they use compared to Obama, etc. I now watch CSpan and use the internet for my information.

I hope when this is said and done, dispite if Hillary becomes president or not; that a book be written and that some public television program air a documentary on the horrid media treatment of Hillary (Our first female to have gone this far).

MSNBC should be boycotted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGREED!!!

The media is terrible... it's gotten so bad that I can barely listen to the radio or watch TV. I ask my grandmother for the latest after work every day, and she's been telling me "same old..." -- it's awful.

The media will say or do anything to get Obama elected. But I don't know why they do that. I don't know what is the motive behind their actions.

Because the big business tell them so. They all have to protect their interests. Just take healthcare: this is big business! : insurances, pharmaceuticals, and any making money off people's unhealth.
Take the oil business. Hillary's solutions is a real threat to them -- and look at her programs and think who would be affected by implementing the changes she proposes. I could go one and on.!!!:):)

You know it was only a commentary piece, but for the first time in recent memory, I turned off my radio in protest of NPR.

Daniel Schorr commented about a letter that he "might send" to Hillary, which was full of a lot of speculation about how she could leave the race with dignity.

It's pretty simple Daniel: She'll leave the raise when the convention convenes, and ALL the delgates are counted!!!! Now buzz off!

I'm glad I didn't support my local station! I'm enjoying listening to music for a change.

You know it was only a commentary piece, but for the first time in recent memory, I turned off my radio in protest of NPR.

Months ago, I called into Talk of the Nation to protest a commentator's remark that it wasn't fair to "count" Florida because Obama didn't campaign there. They had moved on to another story and refused to correct their misstatement to include that neither candidate had campaigned there. In an e-mail response from Ken Rudin, he apologized and said he didn't have the opportunity on air to correct it but I noticed he failed to address it in his blog "Political Junkie".

Since then, I tune in less and less - meaning never. I can't imagine ever supporting them financially again.

And, approximately six weeks after cancelling the Boston Globe notifying Newsweek of my intention to not renew, I find that I don't miss these publications at all. I adjusted pretty easily.

I've gotten requests from both the Globe and Newsweek to re-subscribe and I love returning their postage paid envelopes with letters/notes of my own about why I won't renew or continue my subscriptions. Let them pay the postage for their losing ventures.
