Liberal Media spin on Constitutionalists.?

o funny how these leftist media puppets take their marching orders form big brother! Every other story is spinning anyone that is a Tea Partier, Gun Owner, Religious, Conservative, Ron Paul Supporter, or Just anyone who dislikes BHO and then calls them a Domestic Terrorist! Also MSNBC is having running a special on Tim Mcvey this week, how convenient!

So sickening to see live propaganda happening right in front of our faces! New polls show that 48% of the people agree with the Tea Party and only 44% agree with BHO! Numbers don't lie!

    People are now organizing to crash the tea parties by planting fake protesters to stir up violence and otherwise make them look dumb to the media.

    ALBANY, N.Y. – Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic.

    Oh how quickly some people forget.

    Obama was "praised" by the news media and supporters, for his BRILLIANT use, manipulation and strategies with the internet. No man in history had "created" such a network for not only information, but "disinformation" about his opponents. Obama even "created" his OWN website to provide ammunition to his supporters to refute or dispute the questions and issues swirling around him.

    Just WHAT makes people think, that not only does this "juggernaut" STILL exist, but with his 103 White House controlled news outlets, he can't control and direct his "propaganda" with even more efficiency.

    As with maximum myths, one element of the “Obama lovefest” tale is authentic: there has been considerably better coverage of Obama than the different candidate. diverse thoughts claiming evidence of a specialist-Obama media bias targeted on study of the community information declares by the Tyndall record (7/25/08), a information-monitoring provider whose numbers exhibit that in the first 1/2 of 2008, McCain gained fifty 2 % as a lot community coverage as Obama (203 minutes vs. 389 minutes). the quantity of coverage for both applicants is unheard of, in spite of the undeniable fact that the convenience held by Obama in undemanding coverage isn't something unusual, as shown by figures compiled by the Tyndall record (7/25/08). Measuring the first six months of each and every election three hundred and sixty 5 days, Democratic challenger Michael Dukakis were given purely 32 % of the reassurance garnered by then-vp George H.W. Bush in 1988; incumbent bill Clinton were given purely 28 % of the reassurance Republican challenger Bob Dole were given in 1996. Incumbent George W. Bush were given 80 5 % as a lot coverage as Democratic Sen. John Kerry in 2004—the nearest element of parity in early marketing campaign coverage considering the fact that Tyndall has been conserving music. In each and every three hundred and sixty 5 days Tyndall studied except 1988, the candidate of the celebration that didn’t carry the White abode has gotten better coverage. It’s logical for the media to provide better coverage to a a lot less popular candidate; having a protracted, contested known marketing campaign also helps. because of the reality Obama’s nomination conflict persevered for an total 4 months after media commentators stated McCain’s known victory, this three hundred and sixty 5 days’s coverage hollow is in reality dazzling for the way small it really is.

    Sorry, but most of the media spin I see is coming from conservatives. I think you are only making false accusations in order to foment distrust in "liberal" media outlets so that people are more receptive to the programming of conservative media biases.

    Yeah, it is convenient that MSNBC is running a special on Tim McVey DURING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING! Are you really so self-absorbed to believe that it was some sort of attack of the Tea Party movement? Are you really so desperate to be portrayed as a victim that you'd even acknowledge that Tim McVey would likely have been a Tea Party member if he were still alive today?

    Oh yeah I see your point because when Bush was in office the media where so kind to protesters of the war, the Dixie Chick and anyone who had anything bad to say about Bush.

    Just because you do not like what they are reporting does not mean it is slanted. Fox news spend years saying anyone who protested in a time of war were helping terrorist and where Un-American. We still are in a war people.

    If you don't like the rules... you should have thought about that before you helped set them.

    And 48% percent of Fox news is only 48% of those who call themselves Republican which I am sorry to tell you is still only about 30% of the country.

    False Assertion. I read and watch mainstream news every day and have never seen any stories whatsoever about 'Constitutionalists' - Tim McVeigh was a dometic terrorists. Anyone claiming he had justification for his actions would be the same in my book.

    where were you for the last 8 years the GOP makes a living at FEAR - the Bush White House was the largest propaganda machine since Josef Goebbels

    no one with half a brain agrees with the Tea party - if you have your entire brain you want them to leave the country now

    Is this not a prime example of Wingnut Media Spin on Constitutionalists matter, using the same tactics that so sickens you?

    They are pretty lame, aren't they? It's more disturbing that some people are this easily influenced and can not rationalize.

    BTW.......I am totally disgusted that Maddow is exploiting the Oklahoma City bombing victims for her twisted agenda. Shameful.

    We (tea party) scare the sh*t out of the liberal movement and that is good enough for me.
