The Wright matter as a function of the corporate mainstream media.
I don't think nearly enough has been said about how this Wright matter (as are so many matters) such a function of the immense bias of the corporate mainstream media in this country. Yes, Wright made come inflammatory comments, and yes Obama has condemned them now repeatedly.
But why is it, like other issues, slanting it and echo-chambering in the MSM and on right wing talk radio. Obviously to attempt to tear Obama down. The MSM in this country is LARGELY corporate propaganda. It is a farce. These people don't objectively report news or spend time investigating and reporting the horrid crimes of the right wing. They are corporate toadies of the highest order. They fill the airwaves with slanted comments trying to shape, mould, twist and turn things to CREATE the "news" they want. They are corporately selective and outrageously biased. They of late have been saying such crap as, "This threatens to derail Obama's campaign."; "Obama's campaign may implode."; "Obama is in crisis mode."... And yet little to no mention of late of the mountains of shit in Hillary's closet, why she and Bill are hiding their financial and other records, the loads of rotten money she gladly takes from the corporate fat cats, the corporate fat cats she fought for in the Rose Law Firm and on the board of Walmart, and on and on and on. They won't question her claims of "experience" which she says make her so much more qualified to be president. My belief is that they WANT Hillary to win believing she'll be easier to beat in the fall. What do you think?

1. EXACTLY.. .. but why aren't they talking about Hagees endorcemt
of McCain.. and he publicly praising that fucking racist, crazy doomsdayer?
NOT A WORD from the MSM... or what about the sex/corruption scandal that the NYT exposed?...It lasted only 36 hours.. and was killed by ALL the media..It disappeared as a story immediately !!!

This , in my opinion is a FUCKING hig-tech lynching of Obama...I hate to use the words of Clarence Thomas.. but what the MSM is doing shows just how much the networks are controlled by invisible right wing/government forces !!
