The Four-Year Honeymoon Will the press ever give Obama tough coverage?

[TheWalrus]

This bull**** again.

Seriously, think about it for a second. Journalism is a business, like any other business. If you buy the capitalistic notion that supply arises to meet demand, a liberal media would only mean that there is more demand for liberal viewpoints than conservative ones. Do you believe that's true?

Put it this way. You can either believe the media is liberal... or in capitalism. Your choice.

Whatever you say, multiple documentaries on his administrations acts, an underhanded tone of his involvement of 9/11 throughout his entire presidency. Bush had it worse than Obama, by far. Bush was an old, white man with a Texas accent, invading countries with brown people. Obama is half black doing the same thing , but he is given a pass for fear of being called racist.

You keep making that claim but have yet to provide any sort of evidence. As far as his comparison to Bush, please show me when "the left" was demanding to see Bush's birth certificate.

Glenn Beck and the like have found Obama to be more than profitable. And because you missed it before:

Did you see the movie? I did, it is not a smear job on Obama. I disagree with the birther movement, but it wasn't created out of thin air. Obama comes from a piece of **** father who traveled around the world having babies. He grew up in a foreign country and one of his family said on tape that they saw the birth in Kenya. There was plenty of ammo for the crazies to make **** up.

As ridiculous as the birther movement is, it doesn't compare to a media that tried to pin the murder of 3,000 Americans on bush. To say that the only reason he wanted to be president is so he can help his saudi friends get rich. They also challenged bush's military record as well.

Nothing in that link answers my common sense point about the capitalistic nature of the media. I find it interesting you haven't responded to that line of reasoning. If there's a rebuttal to it I'd like to hear it, honestly. But I don't see a way around it.

[Tetragrammaton]

The media served as Bush's mouthpiece for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Pretending otherwise is a fools' errand.

I wasn't trying to answer your point since I didn't think it was addressed at me. I reply back when I feel a posters comments or questions warrant a response, maybe you should try harder next time. I was posting a link for the posters who wanted facts regarding how the press treats Obama compared to bush. Which you obviously don't have an answer to either.

Most mainstream liberal outfits are hurting in ratings. Msnbc, CNN, ny times, Newsweek. Not sure why Viacom (I think they own msnbc) would put out such a pathetic product next to Fox News. You would have to ask their parent companies why they allow these outfits to continue to get bitch slapped in ratings. The numbers speak for themselves.

This helps your argument how?

You still aren't addressing how supply meeting demand doesn't tell the story on the "bias" of the news. All I see are some accusations and nothing addressing that central issue. If you don't have a response that's fine but this isn't one.
