How Obama Won the Cable TV Primary

So much so that during the Q&A, he was asked by an audience member if MSNBC officially backed the Illinois Senator.

Obama On Cable: Duel Of Softballs vs. Shout-Downs
Barack Obama competed against himself Monday with interviews airing simultaneously on two different networks. They might as well have been two different galaxies.

The Democrat waded into cable TV's blood feud, between Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News Channel, becoming as much a bit player as any even-odds presidential candidate can be. picked by ImNotBlue 2 months ago

 The Truth About Barack Obama
The Truth About Barack Obama
Rather than restate untruths about Obama, the campaign would do better to start some rumors of its own.

Such as: Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times. Even in the shower.

and: There's only one artist on Barack Obama's iPod: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. picked by JoshSF49 5 months ago

Chris Matthews Admits He's In The Tank For Obama
"You know what?" Matthews said. "I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new Presidency work."

Before the questions and attacks begin, here's why this is important: Media bias, and a "journalist's role." Should journalists, as Matthews suggests, try to "help" the administration... or just report on it? [From HuffPo] picked by ImNotBlue 2 weeks ago

 Both Clinton, Obama Claim Popular Lead
Both Clinton, Obama Claim Popular Lead
If numbers don't lie, the Democratic presidential race is proving they can confuse: Both campaigns claim they are ahead in the popular vote.

Technically Hillary does have more votes, they just have been thrown out. Plus, caucuses don't report numbers, though that would tend to help Obama picked by 1thirteen3 7 months ago

 Is GE's Bailout Money A "Thanks" That Will Eventually Reach The Left-Leaning MSNBC?
Is GE's Bailout Money A "Thanks" That Will Eventually Reach The Left-Leaning MSNBC?
Isn't it interesting that on the very day that Barack Obama wins the presidency, the U.S. Treasury department announces a change in its $700 billion Wall Street bailout program--a change that would benefit MSNBC, the most pro-Obama news network? And also benefit NBC, which is also no slouch when it comes to pro-Obama-tude? The common connection, of course, is GE [who owns NBC]...

Did Obama Payoff A Campaign Contributor With State Funds?
The media's worship of Obama is quickly dying off. In answer to this "hard-hitting expose", yeah he probably did and it is incredibly offensive and should be illegal. The problem is every single politician from dog catcher to POTUS has done the same thing.

-Of course this is just proof #1419 that his "change" consists of a change in payees not a change in politics. picked by 2manyusernames 7 months ago
