Goddamn Media…

Surprise, surprise…

Ms. Todd has blamed big, bad ‘media’ for her being a fucking idiot.

I love when this happens… when all else fails, people on both sides like to blame the media. It’s always the media’s fault when something happens; or if you’re a Republican, it’s always the liberals fault. Or if you’re a liberal… it’s always the Republicans fault.

I’m laughing heartedly as I read blogs and comments by people saying this crazy bitch must be a liberal plant to make McCain look bad. Seriously? Do you really think liberals, who you happily trashed over the last eight years, suddenly became that inventive they created a stupid hoax just to make your candidate look bad?

Come on…

During the first part of this decade, the right wing gang called liberals nothing short of spineless, gutless, cry babies. Now all of a sudden they are just this unstoppable machine that’s found a million different ways to screw the right and McCain over? Right…

I lost some friends back in the day when I said both Gore and Kerry (I voted for both) deserved to lose. Like the right is doing now, liberals were quick to blame the big, bad media for their failure to do this, that or the other. This chorus continued during the zany Bush years.

Look, bad strategy is bad strategy and the bottom line is in 2000 and 2004 George had the better strategy; I voted for the Democrat but I very much did so while holding my nose. I knew George wasn’t going to be any good (pops was all right at best and sequels are rarely better than the original) but I was skeptical that those two those two would be any better.

The same applies now… the Dark Knight simply has the better strategy. It’s not the media’s fault, it’s not liberals’ fault, it’s not anyone’s fault except the McCain campaign who may be running one of the worst campaigns in American political history. It has become increasingly evident Steve Schmidt can’t wipe his mentor’s (Karl Rove who despite being a pompous asshole is a pretty good strategist) ass and the campaign’s failure is based on the simple fact that it has only made the case (which is dubious at best) against the Dark Knight without making a case for themselves.

You can’t call someone a ’socialist’ when you voted for the bailout and you send rebate checks to the resident’s of your state. You can’t attack someone for having shady connections when you have them yourself (hell… all politicians have them… kind of comes with the gig). You can’t throw around shit like ‘anti-American’ or “he doesn’t see American like you or I see America” when there isn’t a person walking around this motherfucker who doesn’t love this goddamn country.

Bad strategy is bad strategy and if McCain loses it will be because of that and nothing more. I think the ‘mainstream media’ is a crock of shit as much as the next person but frankly, what do you expect? The news jumped the shark the minute they decided it would be a good idea to be on 24 hours a day on multiple networks. Let’s face it… life is just not that fucking interesting so bullshit either gets dragged out for far too long or shit that could really shape public opinion gets left out.

Simple truth is that the ‘news’ is as much that as ‘reality’ television is about reality. Sure there’s some truth in it but you’re an idiot if you take it seriously. At the end of the day, the primary function of a business (which is exactly what the news networks have become because all of them are owned by larger conglomerates) is to make money.

And let’s face it… the cold truth doesn’t put people in front of the television.

So Ms. Todd, don’t blame the media for simply supplying a demand. That’s what businesses do. And they didn’t make you an attention seeking idiot who may spend some time in jail. You did that… and you should take complete responsibility for it.

  1. Were you old enough to vote in 2000? Just saying…

  2. When I was busy working as a professional engineer I personally had no time for or a real concept on how bad the real world is with much too many liars, thugs, bullies, abusers, distorters, racists , thieves, now too.. and someone how next I could not help but encountered many of them, but I had by now learned how to best deal with them. It is a two fold approach, first the Public exposure, the pen is mightier than the sword, and a good name is worth more than any silver and gold. But next also there is rightful demand, a need for their termination of employment, their real prosecution of the guilty, bad persons. Both of these approaches personally so works best, for everyone’s’ betterment. Ideally and rightfully I do not hesitate to recommend any crook, bad minister, bad pastor, bad news reporter as well to be fired , terminated from his our her job. Sadly there are many people in this world who are hatred mongers, they have a false persistent agendas against some others, and they for many wrong reasons now wrongfully pursue much of their time in these matters now too foolishly and unwisely. Too often they the bad people firstly proclaim themselves as angels of lights, good Samaritans try to help others, but rather it too often seems they are merely trying to gain an advantage over others, and to promote themselves in some powerful, key job, economic, superior positions under these false agendas, disguise’s in all kinds of social groups now too, the religious, political, cultural, governmental. Now I really hate these types of snakes and I rightfully do not hesitate to expose them once I encounter them.

    Now we all know that in north America we all do really have freedom of religion, freedom of choice, freedom of speech, the right to be hard now as well.. Some people are now falsely abusing these right to promote a false war against a particular Christian group, the Pentecostal ones, or even the Catholic ones, etc. When I see this kind of unacceptable personal behavior I too do not accept it but do loudly object to it to all and do ask these hate mongrels be immediately fired, put in jail as well. No matter who they are now too.

    “Sarah Palin losing her sway over Christian voters
    http://communities.canada.com/vancouversun/blogs/thesearch/default.aspx

    The Sarah Palin effect, which brought evangelicals and other Christians rushing on to the Republican wagon when her nomination was announced, is now fading. In some cases fast.

    A poll by the respected Pew Forum has found that some white evangelicals are losing their excitement about the political coupling of John McCain and Palin, who has deep Pentecostal roots in Alaska. White evangelicals, the crucial group that got George W. Bush into the White House in the past two elections, are beginning to edge away from the Republicans. Their support has dropped from 74 to 67 per cent in the past week or so.
    Meanwhile, pollsters are beginning to predict that mainline Protestants, who tend to be more liberal than evangelicals, are moving firmly to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The Democrat contender is now attracting 48 per cent of mainline Christians’ votes. As well, non-Hispanic Catholics have also switched and are now leaning more to Obama-Biden than McCain-Palin.

    Thanks for your input Todd, this is the second time you posted back to me on my blog, unusual for a news reporter to comment on my blog too.http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/sarah-palin-already-has-energized-conservative-religious-leaders/#comment-1746#comment-1746

    >>A poll by the respected Pew Forum has found that some white evangelicals are losing their excitement about the political coupling of John McCain and Palin

    My personal straight forward, honest, personal summation, experiences of Politics, dealing with you, the Vancouver Sun as well, and pollsters… they are statistically just liars, biased, people with hidden agendas.. and I told you that now in writing too many times too.. I rightfully have no respect for what you write still about Christians, evangelicals and so do many others now too.

    what about the polls that show 30 percent of white people will also not vote for a black persons? racisms exists in the churches and police stations now too.

    And my own experiences with Canadian liberal news media, liberals, liberal politicians are so blind they had undeniably now underestimated the starch of the all of evangelical churches, who had themselves formed the Reform, Alliance, and the new Conservative party, and next had wiped out both the old Conservatives under Brian Mulroney, and the Liberals under Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.. I saw it coming , wrote about it 2 decades ago, but you did don’t see it coming. Do get an honest job now..

    But the fact that Sarah Palin is getting now so much free publicity attention even from the liberals, democrats it all next simply means when I see the devil breathing on her back, she must be doing something really really good

    Any possible Christian support of Obama is another liberal, democratic, news media false spins.. just like the devil often dos the same thing.. I read many of their emotional, gushy, lying, slanderous , sewage posts, opinions, but they are spins, lies and not facts and the US news media has lost loads of credibity, CNN especially the big liars, in their slanted election presentations, and that fact is not unnoticed.. but that was the same complaint thing they had often said about the Canadian News media, CBC, under the liberals who lost next.. wow!

    And basically too no true, real practicing Christian would support the clearly anti Christ Obama.. who does supports abortions, gay marriages, alcohol as well..

    My site statistics undeniably do show Sarah Palin is the most read topic in the last few months of over 100 different subjects, topics on my 6 related blogs, and that support I encounter is the tip of the iceberg only.. 80 percent of the posts read are about her.

    Even the Canadian PM Stephen Harper, and the federal election. Bilden, McCain, Obama do not get 10 percent of her attention too.. the undeniably crooked Christian Missionary alliance church got just as much attention now, 10 percent as they all did as well.. note this a new runner up in reading POPULARITY is the bad RCMP, bad Traffic cops of Alberta next.

    As I also wrote often to thousands, Canadian politicians and news editors too now.. The truth about the ungodly Pentecostals bashings, wars against the Pentecostals on the net, even by the Vancouver Sun now too, or anyone else… is that I also still do not have to accept it or put up with it still too, it is an unacceptable perversity, human rights abuse, immoral. And it better stop otherwise I too will have to write to a lot more people about it too.. very much more..
