Dan Gainor, FOX News - "...the political bloc that most helped push Obama to reelection was the American media."

As it turns out, of the over 200 largest U.S. daily newspapers, 100 endorsed Obama and 105 endorsed Romney.

That fact the Obama got 100 endorsements is proof in and of itself.

I see. So Romney getting more newspaper endorsements didn't help him but Obama getting fewer endorsements did help him. Interesting bit of logic. Robert Browning would be pleased.

I think he meant that if there wasn't a bias, Obama would have only gotten, ohh, let's say 5 or 6 endorsements, since he's been such a terrible president..

This was amusing..

Hey, most of Obama's supporters can't read anyway.
It is radio and TV that is the most biased and harmful.

His level of supporters believe anything they hear on TV.
Like that girl dating the French model in the commercial!

Careful there Dan. Steve definitely AGREES that Obama HAS been such a terrible president. Of course, it's not like he's a fan of Romney either...

Maybe my reply should be in a new thread, but it kind of fits here. Part of the reason Obama has been terrible is because that is what the founders intended:

There will be a great deal of unhappiness with the second Obama administration overseas. As much as the world condemns the United States when it does something, at least part of the world is usually demanding some action. Obama will disappoint, but it is not Obama. Just as the elections will paralyze him domestically, reality will limit his foreign policy. Immobilism is something the founders would have been comfortable with, both in domestic politics and in foreign policy. The voters have given the republic a government that will give them both.

I don't think so. He's been terrible because he's a mass murdering war criminal who has done more than any president in history to eviscerate the Bill of Rights and destroy the liberties it guarantees and because he fronts a powerful unpatriotic oligarchy intent on amassing wealth at the expense of the middle and lower economic classes. In addition, he has continually lied to his constituency about virtually every policy position that garnered its support in the first place. Quite simply, he's a sociopath with no definable moral base. He has moved to U.S. closer to a police state than it has ever been.

Ask me again. I'll tell you how I really feel.

every television station in the world could be fox news or an offshoot of fox, and every newspaper from here to shang-hai could have endorsed Romney and you would have never in a million years had a different result.

Advertising experts would tell you that you are completely wrong.

President Obama has been shielded by the MSM more than any other President in history.

Sorry Lambo, but you are wrong. If the media just did their jobs, there would have been a different outcome. When you have the LSM out there daily, finding every LITTLE thing could to bad mouth Romney, yet couldn't talk about the FAILURES of Benghazi, when they interview Romney(or any Repub), they ask real questions, and try to ask GOTCHA questions, but when they interview Obama, they toss up softball questions. That is NOT doing their job. They will NOT continue to pound on a question, even when they know that the answer is BS, or just beating around the bush. There are VERY FEW, Jake Tapper is one, that will even ask a follow up question, when they believe that the administration is not being honest. Bottom line, when the American public only sees one side, they tend to lean that way. One SIMPLE example. A big deal was made out of Obama saving the auto industry, with the bailout, but Romney wanted to let them go bankrupt. What Romney REALLY said, was that he would do a structured bankruptcy with guarantees from the government, NOT TAXPAYERS money. The end result would have been the same, without us being on the hook for the money. Oh, yeah, the union would have had to take a hit, just as the stockholders did. This whole thing was NOT about saving the auto industry, it was about payback for the unions that worked so hard to get him elected the first time. The American public doesn't know that because they only know ONE side, not both.

When you can't win an election against one of the more reviled (by half the plebiscite) presidents in recent memory, then It's time to re-visit your fundamental model.

you guys must think that everyone in this world is stupid and they believe the media.

i listened to Fox New, they had Romney winning by a landslide. listening to news media is like listening to a tout at a race track that charges you for their picks.
if their picks were so good, they would not need you to hand them money, they would be out there betting those great picks themselves. its the same with the media. fox news has it right, they report and you decide. fox news reported this election and the people decided. i am only using them because they are the #1 cable news network going, more people watch them than anyone else, and believe me, they had a bias in this past election.
