This is part of the orchastrated point that I have been making. Some very influencial people wanted this to happen. They had power enough to squelch all but one news media station (fox).
Ok, I'll disagree right off the bat with this.
FWIW, I spent the last month ghosting (guesting) a the "hillaryclintonforum.net", where I learned a LOT of things. Those PUMA's were all passionate about HRC. And yet....
....sqelching of any of the media was a complete NON issue (in fact, the general complaint was "why can't we shut down MSNBC?", etc, or "why can't we shut down Huffpo (the Huffington Post?)"
The ONLY positive suggestion I ever heard in this regard was "well....just boycott them.!"
Usually something done on the part of individual memembers only, and not as part of an organized effort (in fact, I cannot think of even ONE organized effort.)
Squelch others in Washington and specifically squelching Hillary Clinton. Let's face it, she was not the stalwart Obama supported she said she would be. What, two stump speechs after his nomination. This election seemed very contrived. As I have stated before, we knew more about Joe the Plumber in under two weeks than we did about Obama in two years. If you look at the squelching of everything about Obama, it is utterly amazing how the glazing over took place with the media. Personally, I blame the media for poor coverage and accurate reporting concerning Obama. The election was almost to perfect. In hindsight, Obama's campaign would probably screamed racism if the media went after him like others who ran for president. Just another bye for Obama.
I suggest Brag write a book on what looks to me like a conspiracy.[/quote]
I would beg to differ as regards the perception of HRC in that same forum. In fact there were a couple of threads offered up after election was clinched which went: This might get me banned (from the forum) but I'm ANGRY with Hillary and Bill for supporting him (Obama).
By their count HRC gave 67 (I think) speeches for BHO, while Bill gave 41.
I'm not kidding.
I was never anything more than a guest in that forum, but I'm quite sure this is true.
My numbers are at least close if not exact. So I suggest you check them there before writing that book (lest either of you be sued for malfeasance).
The HRCF, btw, were strong for McCain/Palin, but were also very disgusted with the MSM.
They did agree that the MSM was generally unfair in its' reporting, btw.
So maybe we ALL have that in common.
