Lou Dobbs says that the liberal media is in the tank for Obama?
Edited on Sun Aug-24-08 06:43 PM by NNN0LHI
I say pumpkin headed Lou Dobbs if full of beans. He cites the media has had a lot more stories about Obama as proof. How many of those stories were negative? I bet a lot were. Lou doesn't say.

Lou is full of beans.

2. Right after they regurgitated the GOP talking points re: Obama's wealth vs. McCain's
I was glued to CNN during the 2000 debacle; nowadays, when I turn it on because MSNBC is running some non-political programming, I don't even recognize it. It's like Faux News has metastasized.

4. Yes, the liberal media is TOTALLY in the tank for Obama.
Air America, Nova M, the small minority of shows on MSNBC - BIG TIME Obama supporters there.

Unfortunately, the mainstream corporate media is a much louder voice, and is keeping itself pretty busy lining up to fellate McSame.

5. I saw his faux outrage.....
he's also pissed that Obama was on more magazine covers - as if anyone wants to look at McCain.

9. what a bogus--"look over there---Not here" comment!
They are just trying to save their souls right now! They've been in the bag for McCain for so long...they need redemption. Perhaps they're starting to see the writing on the wall.

SO...MY POST: You McCain clowns are DONE. End of Story! IT's an Obama world right now...good luck getting back into the swim of things! Believe me, many of us with good memories will protest any right-wing, wacko trying to claim credit for any Obama/democratic win!

We've been fighting you for so long...please don't try to claim a win! It's bogus if you do...you know it, we know it, and it won't be long until the world knows it!

12. Rich republicans own the media.
Maybe Lou can explain why rich republicans operate a liberal media.

Maybe he can explain why he's on the air, while he's at it.

The corporate whores must have had their feelings hurt because they could not install Hillary as Queen of the Dems.

14. Where Are The Lou Doobies Fans???
:rofl:

Don...I'm sure you remember not so long ago the praise the Lousmeister, Wall Street's best friend, used to get around this place. He "championed" the corruption scoreboard, Dubai ports, outsourcing...and he was the darling of DU (next to David Gregory). Lou then musta gotten a bad taco salad and his xenophobic racism began to show. He's become a joke now.

What's a shame is he has the blessings of Time/Warner who not only pay this asshat, but Beck as well...lunatics who destroy any credibility this pandering and exploitive network has.

Sounds like the Obama camp pooped in CNN's cornflakes by stringing them for the better part of a week on the silly veep game. Obama isn't playing their game...and he and the rest of us are having a laugh watching these big egos look like the real fools they are.

Cheers...

16. The only "liberal media" I can detect is MSNBC in certain time slots
Then I watch PBS BBCA and go to the blogs for the deep truth.

CNN is in the tank and is so dumbed down I cannot watch any more. Nightly Newscast for me is now NBC - for a few minutes.

The media takeover is near complete for the wingers masquerading as objective.

Remain distraught here - thanks for DU and others for telling it like it really is.

17. I watched this.
Couldn't believe Dobbs had the nerve to turn his show into a 30-minute ad for McCain and then close by complaining about "media bias in favor of Obama."

22. Sure Dobbs is full of beans. But the so-called lib media has been in the bag for Obama for months
How many stories were negative? About Obama? You mean among Malloy, Rhodes, Maddow, Hartman, Schultz, KO, etc, and the rest, even Matthews? None that I'm able to recall. None of any long term effect. Even when they were trying to maintain a veneer of balanced journalism.

I always figured that was why they were coming unhinged whenever Obama's numbers would flat-line (such as now), or when some new HRC delegate/'B. Clinton won't endorse' outrage was being pushed (such as now). They had/have a personal, emotional, and demographic/ratings & ad dollar investment in having brought Obama to the fore.

In their *I'm going to get my own pundit chair on TV* game; it's important to be seen as someone that is able to handicap the right horse' hence, as a for instance, Matthews 'big number' and KO's 'keith number'.

I agree it must have been difficult saying everyday you have no horse in this or that race...but they did and they know it. There've been negative pieces on Obama, but they didn't come from the so-called liberal media.

Lou Dobbs is a market driven republican. What could be ultimately expected of him? http://mediamatters.org/items/200603270002

23. I'm sure the liberal media is.
The problem is that the "liberal media" does not exist an any of my 300+ TV channels and 1000+radio stations.

31. "Independent" Lou is nothing more then another GOP shill.
In fact any member of the media that attacks the media as being left wing is only proving they are in the tank of the GOP.
