Media Bias Knows No Shame

By Semperpapa

I have been out of the country for the last four days and during such time I have gotten a real taste of the pro-Obama campaign being conducted by the media, as the only source of news I was able to view was CNN.

Every minute of every broadcast on the Communist News Network was aimed at the re-election of Obama, exploiting the disaster caused by hurricane Sandy in the north east part of the United States.

Every single ‘report’ filed on the devastation caused by the horrible storm was an open praise for the way Obama had ‘handled’ the response to the suffering of millions of Americans. Images of Obama walking with New Jersey governor Chris Christy, images of Obama with Red Cross volunteers or some of the affected people appeared on broadcast loops over and over.

As I was waiting for my flights at various airports, the monitors were all tuned on CNN, adding insult to injury as people were waiting for their flights to depart.

It was either the image of Obama touring the affected areas or some special report on how Michelle Obama handles the ‘rigors’ of the campaign.

Even the channel promotional clips were aimed at painting the challenger Romney in a bad light. For example, CNN promotional ad about the upcoming election coverage showed a sound bite from Obama telling his supporters at a rally that he wants to move the country forward, followed by a sound bite of Romney telling he wants to “take the White House back” portraying the president as all interested in the advancement of the people’s cause and the opponent as merely seeking power.

Here in California, we conservatives have little or no hope to place the state on the Romney column next Tuesday, and yet we will be going on to vote and express our opinion on the race and on the need to replace Feinstein as US senator and many other issues.

One story that the CNN was almost totally ignoring was the Libya disaster. In the whole time I was ‘forced’ to watch CNN, the ongoing investigation on the failures of Obama foreign policy that resulted in four Americans being slaughtered was mentioned once for about two and a half minutes. Never once was the outrage of American Veterans over the abandonment of our citizens mentioned.

And never once that I heard the $16 Trillion debt mentioned.

Finally, one of the female anchor reported that during one of Romney’s rally, I believe in Florida, a hackler started screaming some disjointed accusations that Sandy was the result of global warming while being removed by security. The hilarious thing was that few minutes later she also reported that New York mayor Bloomberg endorsed Obama because he, the mayor, believes that the storm that devastated his city was caused by climate change and that Obama was the only choice because of his position on the subject. I wish, for the sake of New Yorkers, security would remove Bloomberg and send him to some gulag in Siberia.

The whole four days experience was educational. It more than confirmed why CNN ratings are in the dumps. I never watched the leftist propaganda machine that the cable news has become, and I will never watch it again. Even my wife, who, although conservative, likes to listen to both sides of the issues, was incensed by the open, undisputed bias that CNN displayed.

We were actually waiting for CNN to report that the water flooding the New York subways and finally slowly receding, were doing so thanks to Obama’s ability to lower the water levels.

Just my thoughts!
