Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
The website, creators syndicate I found your copy pasted article in looked like vanity press. Apparently it was not. So I withdraw that remark and apologize for it.

On the other hand, she is lying in that article as well as making absurd, non sequitur statements. I hate to admit this, but Guest, Guest often make more sense than this woman.

I now repeat my question. I hope that you will read the article and answer it.

This is the thesis of the article.
>>Big-time political writers are busy people. With all the blogging, the parties and appearances on TV, skeptical examination of widely accepted beliefs seems a waste of time. The Obama campaign has done many a time-starved commentator a great service. It has composed the story for them<<

It is repeated and reinforced at the end of the article.
>>Why do so few commentators worry about defending their Obama-centric viewpoints? Because much of the public already has been indoctrinated and believes them to be fact. The Obama campaign really knows how to plow those fields<<

In between there is this.
>>Times suffered a prolonged spanking for a story that suggested a possible romantic involvement between John McCain and an attractive female lobbyist — based on the testimony of two former McCain associates who were never identified. <<
Do you believe what she is clearly implying? That the Obama campaign's spin is so good that they convinced the New York Times to make false accusations about John McCain?

If she is getting tripe like this printed in one hundred and fifty news papers then we are all in the wrong business.
