He appeared in three major articles in my local paper yesterday. This morning he was on NBC so I flipped to CBS and there he was again. He often makes Yahoo's front page. Sometimes I feel the other candidates are ignored, particularly if they are Republican.
Why do you think the media is pretending he's the only viable candidate? Why does it worship him?

What little press I've seen re: Guliani and Romney revolves around their bickering.

I should have known the answers I'd get in this loony bin. I guess I must be imagining all this coverage.
And Ken, are you saying the media is never guilty of propaganda and that its members never cooperate?

Hillary was perceived as the "inevitable candidate". Her nomination a forgone conclusion. Now, Obama is making it a horse race. That is new worthy.
Merry Christmas!

Huckabee has been all over the news all this week. Giuliani was on Meet The Press yesterday for about an hour.
Obama has been getting coverage because of Oprah. It is a significant event in the campaign. It will be over in a week and then it will be on to someone else.
The myth that the news somehow picks a candidate and then runs positive stories on that candidate is ludicrous. You act as if they have a hotline calling one another with story ideas. That is the picture Fox wants you to have of the other networks because it suits their needs.
I am not saying they are never guilty of propaganda. Of course, all networks engage in propaganda. I am saying they are not guilty of collusion on a major scale. There is no conspiracy to get Obama elected or Hillary elected. If they engaged in that, what would happen when they endorse the wrong candidate? Don't you think any such collusion would, at some point, be exposed?

God yes!!!! They love Obama for no other reason than he is liberal and a man of color. The weak minded media is so bigoted against conservatives- they hold Obama up as a viable candidate- although he has practically ZERO experience.
As for Republicans- they just try to cast them in the worst light possible no matter what the position. Its truly pathetic and you have to look had to see through all their smokescreens. Luckily most in the media are about 2 brain cells away from being talking Orangutans so you can outwit them fairly easily and see through their transparent blather.

No. Hillary is still the favorite of the "mainstream media." It's still early and she has been making a few mistakes lately. Just wait until the primaries start happening next month.

A black guy or woman can't be a racist so it incredibly is advisable to study what the know-how potential earlier you employ it returned so it won't make you look ignorant...everybody who judges somebody to be a racist is definitely the only judging so as that they themselves are the racist....you needless to say stay in a community the place people have a tendency to love McCain. I stay in a area like that yet i bypass 40 minutes away to my religious midsection that's in a community of quite often democrats. I additionally do maximum of my artwork for the duration of this area with the aid of fact the physique of ideas is definitely one of team spirit not battling & separation. it incredibly is a greater wealthy area & I ask one value for my amenities yet 9 circumstances out of 10 make lots greater from liberals....the clarification it form of feels like the media favors McCain is with the aid of the fact he extremely does something....while Hillary exchange into interior the race I used to seek for his or her schedules & got here across that Obama had greater on his time table in one day than McCain did all week...I did this with the aid of fact returned then i exchange into open to study approximately all of them & exchange into not seeing lots of McCain. So of course the media supplies Obama interest while he's prepared to establish interviews & do & be places on a similar time as McCain isn't. So in case you opt to play the sufferer alongside with John McCain then you could stay that way yet once you desire a existence it is lived with integrity you ought to resign the blame & drama.

The media jumps all over who is the current leader in the polls at the moment. First it was Hillary, now it's Obama. It will change again before it's all over.

The Media.. With the exception of FOX network is owned and run by Democrates... They are starting to abandon Hillary because they believe she is losing ground. (vice presidental select afte Obama wins?) So, Obama-Pres. Hillary- Vice. Or the other way around. They will capture the Left, Black and womans vote together.. After the nomination, One will chose the other as running mate. It's like a Grand Plan of the Democrates.

no, since they have ignored him and have covered Edwards way more up untill the last week or two
Edwards was on all the sunday morning talk shows repeatedly all summer but Obama was not on once
just the last 2 weeks since his poll numbers have been climbing over Hillary's and now Oprah is involved have they payed alot of overdue attention to him
they have over the summer given way more attention to Hillary, Edwards, Richardson and Biden all before Obama
let alone the dozen or two Repubs running also
he is only getting his due now

You buy coverage directly and indirectly, so if what you say is true then he must figure early exposure will be more beneficial than late.
