Unfair Election Result, was it the Media?

Spread the love

Did the media just end elec­tion in this nation, Can we even Say that elec­tions are fair?

With the way the Media have tak­en over the elec­tion process, were basi­cal­ly rel­e­gat­ed to watch­ing as the “smart” peo­ple pre­dict the elec­tion results, can we real­ly trust what they tell us even when some­times they are wrong, they pre­dict the result of an elec­tion before half of Amer­i­ca has fin­ished vot­ing.

They often pre­dict the results of a state elec­tion when only a small per­cent­age of the votes have been count­ed.

Fox News and oth­er media out­lets have pro­ject­ed that Pres­i­dent Oba­ma has been reelect­ed to a sec­ond term. If, in cel­e­brat­ing his vic­to­ry Oba­ma want­ed to give cred­it where cred­it is due, he might want to think about call­ing some of Amer­i­ca’s top jour­nal­ists, since their favor­able approach almost cer­tain­ly made the dif­fer­ence between vic­to­ry and defeat.

Review­ing the 2012 pres­i­den­tial cam­paign, here are five ways the media elite tipped the pub­lic rela­tions scales in favor of the lib­er­al Oba­ma and against the con­ser­v­a­tive chal­lenger Mitt Rom­ney:

1. The Media’s Biased Gaffe Patrol Ham­mered Rom­ney: The media unfair­ly jumped on  incon­se­quen­tial mis­takes — or even invent­ed con­tro­ver­sies — from Rom­ney and hyped them in to mul­ti-day media “earth­quakes.” Case in point: the GOP candidate’s trip to Europe and Israel in late July. A Media Research Cen­ter analy­sis of all 21 ABC, CBS and NBC evening news sto­ries about Romney’s trip found that vir­tu­al­ly all of them (18, or 86%) empha­sized “diplo­mat­ic blun­ders,” “gaffes” or “mis­steps.”

They quick­ly tell you what they want you to hear, then ignore the truth from that point for­ward.

You think that you know the truth but the truth is they know you.

Con­ser­v­a­tive colum­nist Charles Krautham­mer blast­ed the news cov­er­age in an August 2 col­umn, call­ing the trip “a major sub­stan­tive suc­cess” that was wrapped “in a media nar­ra­tive of sur­pass­ing triv­i­al­i­ty.”

Sim­i­lar­ly, when the left-wing Moth­er Jones mag­a­zine in Sep­tem­ber put out a secret­ly-record­ed video of Rom­ney talk­ing to donors about the 47% of Amer­i­cans who don’t pay income tax­es, the net­works hyped it like a sen­sa­tion­al sex scan­dal. Over three days, the broad­cast net­work morn­ing and evening shows churned out 42 sto­ries on the tape, near­ly 90 min­utes of cov­er­age. The tone was hyper­bol­ic; ABC’s “Good Morn­ing Amer­i­ca” called it a “bomb­shell rock­ing the Mitt Rom­ney cam­paign,” while ABC “World News” anchor Diane Sawyer declared it a “polit­i­cal earth­quake.”

None of Obama’s gaffes gar­nered that lev­el of cov­er­age. After the pres­i­dent in a June 8 press con­fer­ence declared that “the pri­vate sec­tor is doing fine,” the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news­casts gave it just one night’s cov­er­age, then basi­cal­ly dropped the sto­ry — noth­ing fur­ther on ABC’s “World News” or the “CBS Evening News” in the weeks that fol­lowed, and just two pass­ing ref­er­ences on the “NBC Night­ly News.”

They believe that they know best, that they can pro­vide for you bet­ter than you can, they feel like they should be able to tell you what to eat, how to think what to say and how to act, if you dis­agree, you will end up in jail or worse.
