Two words: media malpractice.

If you have the stomach for it, head over to howobamagotelected.com. If you have the time, watch the 10 minute video up top. If not, head down to the bottom to the stats.

It’s absolutely crazy how the media contributed to this election. And it was very interesting to watch on election night when it was obvious that Obama would carry the day… the news anchors started commenting “wow, we really don’t know much about this guy, do we?”

The truth of the matter is they didn’t report much (most, really) of what they did know. And what they didn’t research and uncover may be even worse.

Again, it’s not that people are inherently stupid. It’s that we live in a headline driven society, and people don’t think. They go with the headlines. And that means the media ran this election.

And if you have a hard time swallowing that, step back from your preconceived notions for a moment and be objective. Seriously.

Just think for a second. 100 years ago, people got their news from papers. Longer stories, more details. Today, we get our information from a 8 minute segment on the 10:00 news. There’s, at most, about 3 sentences about each story. Headlines only. That’s all anyone hears.

And the lines between satire, comedy and real news are so blurred, people can’t remember who’s who or what’s what.

How in the world, HOW could a country that the media classifies as right-center elect the most blatantly liberal man to ever hold the office?

Ah well. I guess things had to get a lot worse before they could get better.

If you remember this tune from the 80’s, this explains it all:

Too funny.

When a Republican goes into the booth, they see two different choices: “McCain” or “Not Obama”.

When a Democrat goes into the booth to vote, they see two choices: “Obama”, or “Not Bush“.

At any rate, whatever side of the aisle you’re on, if you haven’t already, go vote.

If you had any doubt that Obama’s master plan was indeed wealth redistribution, here’s more proof:

geez.

After you listen, read this.

Great article from Orson Scott Card, noted sci-fi and political author, on the current financial “crisis” and how the media turns a blind eye, these days, to the truth, in favor of supporting their political candidate.

This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration.

It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans.

What is a risky loan? It’s a loan that the recipient is likely not to be able to repay.

The goal of this rule change was to help the poor — which especially would help members of minority groups. But how does it help these people to give them a loan that they can’t repay? They get into a house, yes, but when they can’t make the payments, they lose the house — along with their credit rating.

They end up worse off than before.

When Pelosi tried to lay the blame a Bush’s feet, did they call her on it? Of course not. When Barack tries to blame it on the Republicans, do they call him on it? Of course not. They have no credibility. They’re dangerously close to being a joke. It’s sad, really.

Read the entire piece here.

Here’s a funny (”funny” ha ha, not “funny” strange) little treatise on Barackonomics… If you think taxing those big corporations more, and taxing the “rich” more (by increasing the capital gains tax since only “rich” people have stock) will “spread the wealth around” and help you out, think again.

Unfortunately, although humorous, it almost makes you cry that the democrats don’t get the fundamentals.

O wait, maybe they really do.

They’re just socialist.

You’ll probably want to pause often to catch everything. Very interesting. Won’t be hearing any of this from the MSM.
