Beyond the wonderful choice of a great American for Democratic Vice President, the 'other' story never got reported.
What story is that you say?
The fact that the 'chronically right leaning' media covering the elections of 2008. didn't 'get it.' For nearly 24 hours, the media services ridiculed the Obama Campaign for sending out a text message at such an inopportune time of day.
Nobody reported 'that' story. So, I am going to talk about it here.
Bloggers 'got it,' Twitters 'got it,' those in support of the Obama nomination 'got it,' but somehow all that evaded the Right/West Wing media for nearly 24 hours into the news cycle. My, my, what an opportunity to be AGAIN ridiculing one of the best organized, best 'involved' campaigns in the history of the USA. Right? Why 'pass up' still ANOTHER opportunity to defame the greatest man to lead this country just ONE MORE TIME.
Then they have this 'thing' about reporting high numbers of 'undecideds' and putting a faux face on the election in order to promote the ideas of 'Obama should be leading by 10 points over McCain by now.'
Well, guess what? He more than likely does, but, the reporting services in this country, JUST DON'T GET IT !!!
Out of touch?
Just a little. If our media outlets are 'this' out of touch with reality, then what else are they out of touch with?
Some of their so called, 'style' is a result of eight years of Bush/Cheney, illegal wars, a corrupt Congress, a deeply corrupted FCC and their having to report the legitimacy of it all.
Darn shame. Can't even trust 'fair reporting' anymore.
