Obama needs to kiss the press's ass.

Right now they are covering for McCain because they fucking love the guy. Obama needs to somehow make the press love him instead. Any ideas?

2. They're going to slam him no matter what he does

They have their marching orders from their corporate overlords.

3. the press needs to try to make it a close election because then it's easier for the GOP to steal.

4. Besides becoming a Republican? Not much

He has to work around them. Corporate-owned media is in the bag for the party that best serves their corporate owners' profitability.

5. Yeah - continue to do EXACTLY what he's doing Right Fucking Now...

The "Press" is getting ready to TAKE HIM OUT.
So, here's the game plan.

HE GIVES THEM NOTHING.
NO SPACESUITS, NO TANKS, NO SAILBOARDING, NO HAIRCUTS, NO SETTING A PICK ON A WHITE GUY WHILE PLAYING BASKETBALL AT THE LOCAL GYM, NO NOTHING.

And he responds instantly to ANY and EVERY right wing, Karl Rove, MONKEY bullshit, talking point.
AND HE THROWS IT RIGHT BACK INTO THEIR FUCKING FACES.

That's how we win.

6. His surrogates are doing a fine job pressing back at the m$m; they are

prepared for the dimwit talking points in advance and seize the interviews themselves.

I'm not fretting.

7. He's already kissed too much ass...

And he isn't the press' type.

He needs to stick to being honest and stick to his promises. The only thing the press is looking for from him is screw-ups and flip-flops.

8. Yep they show the quote of Hillary "strongly" urging her supporters to vote Obama

and saying "Some say this isn't strong enough". Someone needs to get on there and say "WHO!?" "WHO SAYS ITS NOT ENOUGH" "Stop with the 'some say' crap"

9. All Obama Needs To Do Is Support Media Consolidation

However, since he is on record for opposing further relaxation of media ownership rules, it is unlikely to buy Big Media's support.

The real opponent is not John McCain. The real opponent is Big Media, Disney and News Corp, who want a president who will not oppose their efforts to grow their media monopolies.
