The media is in full cover Obama’s ass mode. None of the big networks like ABC, CBS or NBC ran a single story about Obama’s primary problems. In Kentucky, 42% of Democrats voted “uncommitted” instead of Obama. Obama was running unopposed. This is an embarrassment and the media didn’t cover it for this very reason. Democrats across the country are fleeing Obama, yet the media feels this is a non-issue.
Newsbusters points out the media’s failure to report these facts.
42 percent of Democratic primary voters in Kentucky on Tuesday chose “uncommited” over Barack Obama. In Arkansas, a Tennessee attorney finished with 41 percent of the vote. ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s Today and CBS This Morning all skipped the embarrassing story, despite the fact that CBS and NBC covered the far less interesting Republican primary.
During the month of May, Obama suffered through a series of humiliating protest votes in Democratic primaries. On May 8th, the incumbent President nearly lost the West Virginia primary to a convicted felon. Yet, except for a single mention at 4am on May 9th, the networks have buried Obama’s bad news.
Today news reader Natalie Morales explained, “Just under six months to go until election day and Republicans are coming together behind Mitt Romney, who picked up victories in the Kentucky and Arkansas primaries on Tuesday.”
This Morning co-anchor Erica Hill boringly noted, “In the U.S. presidential race, Mitt Romney won primaries in Arkansas and Kentucky yesterday, bringing him closer to cinching [sic] the Republican nomination.”
Part of the news is reporting interesting things that happen. Mitt Romney winning yet another primary isn’t interesting.
A sitting Democratic President suffering his third primary protest vote against non-serious candidates is interesting. Or it should be to journalists concerned with facts and trends.
Such a protest vote should at least warrant a mention. Democratic voters going out of their way to register displeasure, despite the fact that Obama obviously will be their nominee, indicates anger and problems ahead for the President.
On May 9th, GMA, Today and CBS This Morning all skipped convicted felon Keith Judd earning 43 percent of the vote in West Virgnia. The only network program to cover it was the CBS Morning News, a show that airs at 4am.
Your first sentence says it all. Not only that, they exist solely to spread propaganda issued from the WH. They have rendered themselves irrelevant. They are IMO criminal in their lack of honest reporting and for aiding and abetting the fraud sitting in our WH. Also, IMO, none of the polling data reflects what is actually going on. I’m sure that they are aware of the REAL polling data and will continue to bombard us with what they want us to believe, this tactic isn’t working for me and I’m sure there are a lot of others who see right through them.
