POLL: IF WE HAD AN HONEST MEDIA WOULD OBAMA HAVE WON RE-ELECTION?

Notice how if the media doesn't report what you want to hear it is biased,if they do they are right on.

For those of you who just don't quite understand it or don't care because you get the advantage; imagine a football game, a professional football game and the referees and the media coverage was as biased as US media. I say US because the English and Europeans have a completely different prospective on our politics. Back to the game; the refs can't be completely bought off, in fact they take pride that they can't be bought but they all came up through the same organization as football players themselves. Some of the reporters covering the game are married to or dating members of the team. So they are not bought, they are true believers. They miss a holding call here and there, offsides? what offsides?, that touchdown didn't count because in our opinion his foot was out of bounds just before the goal line, that penalty play didn't work so we will run it again (remember the Olympic basketball game where the Soviets played out the last few seconds three times until the Soviet won?). The media is in the tank for this game. There is a low blow and unnecessary roughness but the network has cut away for a commercial or a comment by the talking heads who probably played for one of the teams on the field. Some people get mad about the bad calls (voter fraud) but most people didn't see anything like that in the network broadcast and deny that it happened. In spite of all these advantages the other team seems to win about half the time. Would you support that game even if it was your team with the advantage? Would you call it fair? Would you say that the other side is just complaining for no good reason because you didn't personally see the foul or it didn't affect your personally.

Conservatives care about the rules and liberals just care about winning.

I like the sports metaphor in illustrating the political game. The presidential debates are like a boxing match. The moderator is like a referee who is supposed insure it's a fair fight.

In the second debate, Romney had his oponent on the ropes and was about to deliver a knockout punch, when the referee, Candy Crowley, hit him over the head with a two by four. That one single action may have cost Romney the election. Presidential elections have been won or lost on far less significant matters.

If the media was unbiased, the Republicans would win the vast majority of the time. If the media, Hollywood, academia and pop culture were biased in favor of the Republicans the same way they are for the Democrats, the Democratic Party would cease to exist.

Joe the Bloehard must have pigged out on grapes today. I've heard his grapes are especially sour this time of year!

Unable to argue the poin. Way to go Whatzup.

Whatzup, WTF, Eva, and Munchie

It's not a point shit for brains. It's a sophomoric hooker board poll with a universe that's comprised mainly of dipshits responding to a narrow instrument of lose lose questions.

there is no fact and can only allow negative response, weighted by the author to elicit negative response.

It's far less scientific than IBCryings last stool sample or the DNA sample retrieved from Whinys shirtsleeve.

And you are too damned thick to understand that, "teach"

I'd like to see your certificate...

Well, no wonder you are the . . .

DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR 2013

ASSUP!!!

The OP is so stupid, I won't waste time reading all the responses. But, my immediate thought is that the more relevant question would be...."How many more votes would Obama have won by but for the lying, propaganda-spewing right wing media echo chamber?"

I'm also amused at the continued consternation of the whackadoo idiots who got their asses kicked in the election, and their bizarre attempts to explain why. I'm delighted that they think it was some left-wing media influence rather than their own twisted ideological agenda. Means we can expect more of the same in the future.

Whirly, you need to seek help.

You lil bitchs still crying about Mitt getting his ass handed to him?

double snick

[Whirlaway]

By a margin of almost 2:1, people think Obama would have lost his re-election if the media played an honest game.


And the double snick is that Obamazombies think that had the media been honest Obama would have won by the same (or larger) majority...........snick, snick !
