The Media & Senator Obama

Has Senator Clinton fallen off the planet? It seems she was handed her hat and coat the moment she suspended her campaign and wished Senator Obama good luck. It’s as if she was sucked into a galactic black hole as she stepped away from the podium.

There is nary a reference to her in the newspapers, on the broadcast and cable news, on the internet, or in the weekly news publications. It’s conceivable that she is holed up in some private compound licking her wounds after an arduous campaign.

To pretend the disappearance of the Clintons isn’t a blessing would be disingenuous. About as many are thrilled to be living in a Clinton free zone as those who are looking forward to the Bush family permanently retreating to Texas. Twenty years of these families is enough.

But Hillary is not old news. She has enough delegates and ardent supporters to turn the Democratic convention into a socialist blood bath. So even granting her apparent loss and the Democratic Party’s need to unite its base, her out-and-out disappearance is suspect.

There can only be one plausible reason for this anti-matter phenomenon. Our illustrious liberal dominated media is in full throttle to canonize its favorite Christian convert. To accomplish this mission they must capture the hearts of the eighteen million Hillary voters.

They are in full erasure mode; convinced Hillary’s non-existence will swing the Democratic moderates into the Obama camp. This is the same media that slapped her around with the long end of the publicity stick once Obama’s ethnicity and brand of politics inspired its ranks.

There is nothing new about the media’s strategy. For months now it has ignored the volume of good news emanating from Iraq. The stabilization of this country since the military surge is incredible. It worked. A US victory is within grasp.

This substantiated fact makes Senator Reid, Speaker Pelosi and their anointed candidate real losers. That’s why the subject of Iraq is in full erasure mode.

This is the same media that would have Americans believe that Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and Michelle’s anti-America rhetoric aren’t worthy of its attention. Nor do they believe the US electorate should be informed that Senator Obama voted against adopting English as the official language of government.

This is the same media that hasn’t protested the fact that Senator Obama refuses to make his birth certificate available to the public. Strange, isn’t it? They don’t care what he is hiding although they attempted to have Senator McCain’s candidacy disqualified because he was born in Panama.

This is the same socialist bent media that ignores the 2000+ corporations that have been scooped up by foreign interests since George W. Bush was inaugurated. This detail is difficult to explain without examining the US corporate tax structure.

Is it possible that these media tax & spend aficionados don’t want the public to know the economic consequences of having the second highest corporate taxes in the world? This knowledge puts their candidate’s higher corporate taxes prescription at odds with America’s security.

And why isn’t the media screaming for Obama to participate in the give-an-take, town hall style forums? The answer is obvious. The questions can’t be vetted, nor can the questioners be vetted. The media realizes that he would be ripped to shreds without it running interference for him.

Obama owes his political existence to the media’s protective cocoon.
