Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?

The media never criticizes Obama and gives him a free ride, but they go after Hillary like a pack of wolves.Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?No he wouldn't be.... he is like hands off to the media...they want the story, and most of the media is Republican controlled...and why not protect Obama....they know he will be ripped apart if he should win the Democrat Nominee.



The media is doing a disservice to the American People....and we buy into it. Fairly cover all candiates, do the research, report the fact and keep opinion out. Oh yes, that is the news reporting criteria on the days gone by. These pundits are just for fun and entertainment.



Too often, I can even tell when they are not representing the circumstance of even a quote made, they just don't do the homework.Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?
Of all the unknown presidential candidates he came out on top.A lot of the others who dropped out i never heard of before either .So what is the difference?A junior senator with only three years under his belt has become a powerful figure.He is after all a great speaker and surrounds himself with intelligent people.Win or lose he has made his mark.Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?He would be no where without the media today. He is inexperienced and speaks fluff, and is an illegal criminal alien lover.



This man is not a viable candidate to lead our great country.Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?
First off who ever really heard of Huckabee, or Romney before the media “informed” the public of them? The purpose of the media is to tell about the people who are running in the race. And yes, the media has criticized Obama by stating on many occasions how inexperience he is. The media don’t say many, if any, bad things about Huckabee but he trailed way behind in the race until here recently. So the media perception on Obama has little to do with his successful advancement in the race.Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?Don't matter Clinton is still gonna get it. Then when counties do things we don't like she can put on the water works and cry. Who can say no to a cring woman? ;)Would Obama be where he is today without the unconditional backing from the media?
agreed 100% with u - thanks for posting



with the media bias, the dem party and country are at stake



but i doubt very much the media will support obama later during the election, because the media are mostly republicans controlled, and obama will be trashed like dirt at that time
The media is what boosted Obama's popularity. Honestlty can anyone really say that they truly heard of him until he became the "media darling".
