    Of course they always have had faith in B.O. The evidence is in the things they keep us from seeing. This is what we (conservatives) already knew, but once again with no evidence…

    Dumpster diving for Obama. Did we expect anything else?

    Seriously, this is working for Obama. I’m getting very discouraged about the election right now. VERY discouraged.

    No one is checking into Obama, or Biden for that matter. All I see is more mocking of Palin on all the MSM sites — namely ABCnews.com as well as the flippant and snarky tone of all the articles having to do with McCain – especially the AP. I have never seen such vile commentary coming especially from women. Reminds me of the girl cliques we had back in high school. You know, those girls who thought they were hot stuff because they were on the cheerleading team and criticized and bullied all the other girls that were not so popular, just to satisfy their egos. Jealousy is not very becoming of these Palin-bashing women either. It makes them look petty and small.

    Every MSM outlet is in the tank for Obama, and this is a huge hurdle to overcome. I’m just hoping people make an informed decision when they go to the voting booth in November.

    Here’s what I hope.

    That each and every media slob that undermines the elective process in this country finds themselves broke and destitute. I hope they live on the street out of a box.

    For betraying a trust that was place in the press, they should pay dearly.

    I’m shocked I tell ya!! Seriously, literally everything McCain does will be spun in a negative direction and literally everything Obama does will be spun in a positive direction. McCain NEEDS to come out strong in the debates and attack HARD. It is his only chance to get an audience free of a media filter. Otherwise, he simply won’t be heard and I think Obama will coast, on the back of the MSM, to victory. I wish I could say, with confidence, that McCain will do that, but I think he would rather be ‘bipartisan’ and lose.

    This is indeed the year journalism in the US died.

    So, you were born AFTER 2004? Does your mommy know you’re using her computer?

    Or are you just, plain, batpoop INSANE? This “MSM” you claim to hate so much gave you YOUR Messiah, the W – not once, but TWICE – and gave you the March of the Victors you wanted through Iraq… And we all know just how well THOSE things turned out, for ALL of us.

    On the other side of the aisle, we tried DESPERATELY to get the media to take a more critical view, but they were beholden to a Republican majority. You got what you asked for and a very, very large part of the country is in the process of telling you how much they did not appreciate it and actually DO prefer a painfully inexperienced, terrorist-associated Muslim over your doddering idiot and… well, doddering idiotS, I guess, to be nice about it.

    (A single, completely unsourced, anonymous email to Glenn Reynolds doesn’t make a “media conspiracy,” by the way; it makes a right-wing Internet commentator trying to stir up the base and a cabal of gullible denizens of the Far Right Side of Wingnutistan who just WANT to believe it’s true…)

    thekingtut – and I think they were in the tank for McCain too during the primary season

    Huckabee’s supporters could clearly see the media bias for McCain.

    In a sporting event, when do you ever tell the underdog to quit? You don’t. In fact, you often root for the underdog.

    But not the MSM in a Republican primary. They were repeating the mantra of “McCain is the presumptive nominee” long before he passed the 1191 mark.

    The MSM lied and said Huckabee had left the state four days before the Florida primary. It was a bold-faced lie, and gave the impression that Huckabee had given up on the state.

    McCain used two stalking horses – Fred Thompson to draw votes away from Huckabee in SC, and Rudy Guiliani to draw votes from Mitt Romney in FL.

    McCain may have stolen the Washington state primary – Huckabee was leading as results were coming in, and then the results showed McCain ahead with 87% of the vote counted and the race was officially called for McCain. I’ve never seen a close race officially called with 13% of the vote not even counted! Did anyone in the MSM object?

    The MSM was complicit in helping McCain win the Republican nomination.

    Thank God that Mike Huckabee’s delegates were able to force McCain into chosing a conservative VP.

    I’m assuming that most people voting for McCain-Palin are not really voting for McCain as much as they are voting against Obama and for Palin.

    For all the whining about the liberal media, they don’t seem to have much effect on the election of presidents. Beginning in 1897 with McKinely and up until the present with Bush, there have been 19 presidents–12 of whom have been Republicans. If you want to get more recent, 5 of the last 7 have been Republicans. That, plus the fact that conservative radio totally dominates the airwaves, Fox News draws more viewers than all the other networks, newspaper readership is at an all time low, it would seem that conservatives have more control on the media than liberals do. But yet conservatives keep losing. How is that?
