Martin Eisenstadt is MSNBC’s Top McCain figure?

Posted by Moonage on 13 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: The Media

This is precious.
Immediately after the election, a few networks ran with the story that McCain campaign workers were claiming that Sarah Palin did not know Africa was a continent, among other ludicrous claims.  Turns out, MSMBC’s source for the claim was one Martin Eisenstadt.
Turns out, Martin Eisenstadt isn’t real.  He’s a fictional character.
Some people were [...]

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 [...]

Palin expands character attacks?

Posted by Moonage on 06 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

Been out of action for a few days.  Decided to take a mini-vacation.  Came back to this side-splitting “headline”:
Palin expands character attacks
Her “character attacks” are mentioning people Obama has hung out with that just don’t look so good now that he’s running for president.
In my world, a “character attack” is attacking one’s character.  You know, [...]

Biased and unbiased reporting

Posted by Moonage on 04 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been.  I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it.  I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order:
Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly over [...]

Media Double standard?

Posted by Moonage on 03 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin.  Let’s see.  We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare.  So, let’s do, shall we?

John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily.  He lost but maintained a [...]

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 [...]

CNN and that agent of change thing

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

Immediately after it became known that Sarah Palin would be John McCain’s running mate, CNN ran a poll asking people if they had supported Hillary Clinton if they would now consider McCain/Palin.  Approximately 41% at the last I saw it said yes.  That’s enough to turn this election into a washout for Obama.  So, CNN [...]

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. [...]

Obama vs Obama

Posted by Moonage on 04 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

I heard someone on Foxnews or CNN comment that this election will be moreso a referendum on Obama than an election of competing candidates.  I tend to agree with that given the overwhelming support Obama gets from media.  Now, to me, that’s not as cynical as it sounds.  Part of being a national candidate is [...]

Covering up Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption, 4-18-08 edition

Posted by Moonage on 18 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Media

This is getting pretty near amazing to me.  No sooner than I write about the media doing everything they can to cover up Nancy Pelosi’s Democrat culture of corruption, here comes another example:

ARAPAHO, Okla. (AP) — Authorities have charged a western Oklahoma sheriff with coercing and bribing female inmates so he could use them in [...]
