CNN, all Obama, all the time

Posted by Moonage on 30 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Media, The Media, media bias

Some media are having a difficult time reacting to the charges by McCain that they are completely and unashamedly pushing their candidate.  They have discussed it, they have debated, and some to a small degree, have admitted it.  If one has any doubts at all, all they need to is go to CNN’s front page [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption: Rangel edition

Posted by Moonage on 16 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

Charlie Rangel, who everyone has to love, is in a little trouble with the IRS, and possibly the FBI I would imagine.  The FBI just usually sort of comes along with the IRS.  Here’s the abbreviated list of what he’s in some doo-doo over:

Rangel’s papers over the past 10 years show no reference to the [...]

Lipstick, uh, lipstick, uh pig, yeah, that’s it

Posted by Moonage on 10 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

“That’s just, just calling some uh the same thing something different. You know you can’t uh you, you can put lipstick on a pig, is still a pig”
A lot is being made over Obama’s lipstick on a pig comment.  Some are interpreting it to mean he’s sexist.  Some are interpreting it to mean he thinks [...]

Why not Condi Rice?

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Now, my peeps here know how I feel about Condi Rice.  So, I think, smarting from the Obama/Hillary dustup, Anderson Cooper decided to try and turn the wheels on McCain by planting the seed of discontent in folks like me over McCain “snubbing” Condi in the manner of Obama snubbing Clinton.  Two serious differences here that [...]

Sarah Palin to be McCain’s VP?

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks.  The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves.  So, the whole [...]

Dick Morris gets it

Posted by Moonage on 28 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

I have never really figured Dick Morris out.  I like that.  I like that a lot.  A lot of people have been scratching their heads over Obama’s campaign so far.  To the average guy who doesn’t get caught up in hysteria or hype, it’s been very puzzling.  It’s not to me.  And, apparently it’s not [...]

Keith Olbermann sees a penis in every monument

Posted by Moonage on 05 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Media

Just when I thought it was safe to assume Keith Olbermann was completely nuts, he tops himself.  This is what the pride of the left wing had to say about John McCain’s recent ad featuring two hot young celebs:
KEITH OLBERMANN: What about when it backfires? Because it seems like the celebrity ad continues to echo. [...]

The bizarre Obama media love-affair

Posted by Moonage on 24 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

MSNBC did a fluff piece on a missing Obama “thesis” from 1984.  Although Jim Popkin does a decent job presenting several sides to the “controversy”, he does the unthinkable and lets an Obama critic get the last word in.
Now, up until the last word, this story, as with a lot of Obama stories, gets muddled [...]

Obama lurches away from his core

Posted by Moonage on 10 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, National Security

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]
