Depends on what woman. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
Ted Oplinger Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Obama and the JournoList members do but bring this upon themselves. If the Press was as neutral as it claims to be...Obama would never have been elected the first time. BUT...they persist, so it will only get worse before it gets better. The Washington Post sends investigative reporters to dig up Scott Walker's college career...but none for Obama? At least the class Mr. Walker should have graduated with remembers Scott being there! The same cannot be said for Obama. Obama has received a major pass on many very important things...things that make or break any politician who just happens to have a "R" by his/her name. When that kind of coverage is given even-handedly, call me. I believe the Press could not even attempt to nail a high-profile Democrat to the wall without permission from their handlers. President Hillary Clinton? Maybe...but she will have to defeat Elizabeth Warren, because the Democrat core does not see Clinton nor Obama as being far enough to the left. And that is the direction the Media will willingly go, for that is their position as well. Ask Dan Rather. A Government-bought Press is worse than a Government-owned Press. If he could view today from the grave, Joseph Goebbels would be maniacally jealous of the propaganda machine so popularly and affectionately known as the "Main Stream Media". He would realize his mistake was in not taking over the academic institutions first, THEN buying out the Press, to hire people who have been educated to hire in and willingly repeat the desired perspective.

Aliensanctuary Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 ...propaganda machine... Welcome to the spin zone. We shouldn't trust mainstream media news broadcasters to be "fair and balanced" when they are tools of a political party, share its ideology, and are no longer critical of both parties. His Highness Obama's legacy will live on, whether he remains in power long after his term is over, or not, much to our loss. He should have become king of a third world country instead of trying to transform America into one. Quote The Parable of the Lamb and the Pigpen https://www.createspace.com/3401451

So now its the Press's fault??? TO, put your bright mind back to work and come to the reality side!! Call it my contrarian nature, CoAspen, but when so many form an echo chamber, something is wrong. When they play favorites as to who gets what treatment, something's wrong. And most people really don't care, so long as they have a job and can pursue what they think is a normal life. This bright mind is very much at work. It knows full well we live on the cusp of very dangerous times. It knows full well how many people will simply accept the "reality" that is placed in front of them and and be told to believe it without question. Question it, and we call you names..."Birther", "truther", "Bagger", "crackpot, "denier", "tin foil hat wearer"...etc., etc., etc. Simply put, the answers given to many issues simply aren't satisfactory. Glaring double standards are in play. Corruption and deceit are very transparent now. Few care about it. Most simply want to profit from it, build their power on it. This bright mind knows that the press, for all its warts, was given a special provision in the Constitution, wherein the government couldn't simply censor them for holding them accountable. The Press was to keep all political forces accountable to the people. It not only has failed that today, but also actively attacks on behalf of the political forces it champions. The Press censors for the government, so the government doesn't need to. Those that buck that, are again called names. I'm sure you've heard of "Faux News", eh? Never in their worst dreams did our Founding Fathers think that the Press could be bought and sold unto the country's political power brokers, and willingly become tools of tyranny. Reality is going to bite people really hard one day soon. People will wonder why. They'll then look at us contrarians and realists whom they disounted so much, and ask why we didn't warn them. Why didn't we say anything? We'll just say, "We did.You didn't want to listen". Count me as one weeping for the sins of this nation...
