Newsmax Special

My favorite Right Wing, Joe-Six-Pack, getting desperate online magazine - Newsmax - has been making me laugh. This stuff is funny, yo.


The Love Affair With Barack Obama:
Has the Media Gone Too Far?


SheenaFury: You dolts obviously sit around watching the sly FOX channel all day. Your stupid Right Wing radio shows, like that most heenious (as Sarah P. says) Rush Limbaugh, who is such a disgusting example of...and his ratings are HUGE! How can you mistake the news reporting on how happy some of are that asshats like you don't get to run AMERICA any more, with an all encompassing media "Love Affair" is beyond me. Gah! Y'all frustrate me to no end!

Newsmax: Big media instantly fell hard for Barack Obama, the smooth-talking new kid on the block, while John McCain, once a media darling, has so far failed to attract the same kind of adoring coverage.

SF: I see McCain's malformed head at least as much as I see Obama's nicely-shaped one. "Adoring coverage" of the "smooth-talking new kid on the block." I think Obama should be on the cover of Tiger Beat. He can't help that he's good looking. Get over it, Johnny. Ooh, does the crypt-keeper have a little crush? Does she need herself a real man?

NM: But as it turns out, that's not all bad news for the Republican candidate.

SF: Really? How so, Newsmax?

NM: Newsmax magazine's special report "The Media and Obama: Love at First Sight" takes an in-depth look at the media's decidedly unbiased and unbalanced coverage of the Obama and McCain campaigns — and reveals how the favoritism for the Democratic nominee could backfire on Obama come Election Day.

SF: First, let me applaud the fact that the article will be "in-depth." Many of the word selections that follow confuse me, though - "decidely" is the first. Who decided? "Unbiased and "unbalanced" follow. Unbalanced is a word that usually signifies a nutter, someone who's mental state is unhealthy. Even when we hang a picture on the wall, we don't comment that it's "unbalanced," we say "tilt it to the right," or it's "not even." I'm just saying - word selection is important. "Unbiased"? Eye of the beholder, dude.

SF: It's going to "backfire" on Obama? The fact that he's a telegenic, intelligent, interesting person? Please explain, do!
.
NM: This special must-read issue also includes political guru Dick Morris' analysis of the media battle and his advice to McCain on what he must do in these closing days to win.

SF: Um..."political guru Dick Morris." Need I say more? He was the one who was caught in the panties, right? And he did a bunch of bad stuff. I hope he has a lot of advice for McCain. And I hope McCain takes that advice to heart.

BWAH!

I suppose getting unsolicited e mails from those who would speak for Joe-Six-Pack is a convenience for the Jungle Queen, since I assume she has neither the time nor the inclination to endure monitoring the likes of comedian Rush Limbaugh and Bill_O etc. Who could blame her?
Related to this notion of a media love affair for the Democratic candidate and a corresponding lack 'o love for the other side: According to the Right-Wing, highly rated comedian's interview with Sarah Palin the other day, The Republican VP candidate is being somehow neglected by the mainstream media; SP: "They (the MSM)just want me to sit down and be quiet." This is interesting in light of SP's consistant unavailability to such worthy interviewers as Andersen Cooper and Rachel Maddow, whose invitations to talk with the candidate are routinely rebuffed .

I am personally ready for an in-depth sit down between Levi Johnson and Howard Stern, where they could discuss what it's like to be a a self confessed "Redneck , shootin' shit" kinda guy all caught up in the public eye.
