Thread Name: BS: Unpopular Views of Obama Administration
Subject: RE: BS: Unpopular Views of Obama Administration
But nevermind that stuff...

This is about unpopular views of Obama which the corporate media seems to have down pat...

I mean, even Obama reducing the annual budget deficit by $100B got headlines in the Charlotte Observer that were negative against Obama... They read something like this... "Debt Plagues Obama, Repubs Pounce"... Now if you were to compare the headlines with the story you'd have to go, Huh?" so I guess that having the annual budget deficit fall by $100B must not have been to popular with the corporate media... Maybe they would have been happier if the deficit went up, I donno???

Couple weeks ago when the Dems were closing the gap in the polls the "liberal' (ha) Washington Post did about the same thing with the headline which went kinda like this: "Repubs Still Zeroing in on Taking Back the House"... Huh??? The rest of the story was about the dems closing to within 4% points... Why not, "Dems Closing Gap"???

That is why this election cyle is so frustration... I mean, Obama could find a cure for cancer tomorrow and the headlines would read, "Obama Trying to Put Doctors Out of Work"...

So, it seems that the only folks who are going to find good news welcoming when it comes to Obama are just folks who go stright to page 17 in the newspapers where some truth can be found...
