I study the issues just as much as any one. I will never, NEVER, vote for someone who wants to take away my right to choice.
And, do tell? Why is FOX the only one jumping on this "terrorist" video? I read the article in LA times. Obama had lunch with Palestinian-Americans!! How scandalous!

McCain campaign accuses L.A. Times of 'suppressing' Obama video - Los Angeles Times
Figures you would want to rep someone feeding off their own emotions. You may find it impressive but I certainly don't. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I'll answer your question.. I don't know why Fox news is the only one jumping on this video and honestly I didn't even hear it from fox news.. I picked it up from the radio while driving into work. I listen for the traffic report and there was a brief mention of it.

So I googled to verify it.. and then cross referenced with the LA times to see if they did indeed have the video and if they were with holding it. The answer was yes they had the video, and yes they were withholding it.

So the question I pose to you is this. If you are a source of news and information... why would you choose to withhold information to your audience especially after you just gave him your endorsement.

People say the media is not biased.. people say the media is not compromised but I would like you to point out one TOUGH question Obama has had to answer about himself.

William Ayers was blown over as though it didn't matter. A man who is a self confessed marxist as of at least 2002. A man who attacked government buildings and put people's lives at risk. Why is the media not covering this? Why is this ok? Would it be ok if Obama had close ties to Timothy Mcveigh?

Obama's two books where he states socialist/marxist philosophies... why does no one ask him to go into detail about this? Why is it that the media seems indifferent about this?

Obama's party with Rashid Khalidi.. why would the new york times refuse to release this tape to the public? Typically when information/data like this is available it is made public. However this has been blown off and even refused to be given. What is there to hide and why do other media sources not go after this?

Obama's connection with slum Lord Tony Rezko; whom Obama defended and helped to get government money to help build his sub standard buildings that often were condemned.. a man who was indicted for his crimes.. a man who made contributions to Obama. Why does no one investigate this deeper? Hell you hardly even heard about it.

Obama's Connection with Jim Johnson who was the head of Fannie Mae during the time of it's accounting scandal. In addition Jim Johnson made over 90 million dollars during the book keeping mishap; later Fannie and Freddie would collapse and now Jim Johnson has been advising the Obama campaign unofficially (he withdrew from the campaign after a mortgage scandal surrounded him).. Why is no one asking these questions? Why is it ok that we ignore this?

Obama's connection with Chris Dodd, #1 receiver of donations from the financial institutions that would later collapse... with Obama being #2. Seems rather peculiar doesn't it? Why is no one investigating this? Why is it ok to ignore it?

Obama's connection to ACORN and their questionable practices. Why is it ok to ignore this? Why does neither ACORN nor Obama catch any flak for this. I could understand if Obama got a free pass but ACORN? Even if it's individuals doing this and not the organization.. as an entity it is their responsibility to ensure that the people they employ are conducting themselves in a legal and mature fashion. What they are doing is far from legal. Why does this not get more news coverage? Why is it ok to ignore this?


I have a much longer list and can go on and on. So I ask you... yes YOU specifically. Why is it ok that the media ignores things like this but it's ok to report on Sarah Palin's wardrobe?

Since you're such a student of the issues I would love to debate this with you. Since you're such a student of the issues why aren't you questioning the media's lack of interest in reporting the issues? Why aren't you questioning the media's inability to ask some genuinely difficult questions?
