Audacity of Truth
How many more front page puff pieces will the Charlotte Observer print on the Obamas?
The week of the election, we were treated to two fawning multi-paged sections devoted to the election of Barack Obama, with the one on Saturday the 8th having an image of him that spanned 3/4ths of the page. Yesterday, the hot story on page 1 was a glowing piece on Michelle Obama and how she had become an inspiration for black women across America. It was a nice piece, but why was it on the front page? For that matter, wouldn’t a better place for it been Parade magazine?
More people read newspapers on the weekend than any other days of the week. Are these kinds of front page feel good pieces” what we’ll have to look forward to from the Charlotte Observer every weekend for the next four years of the Obama adminstration?

Yes. The media are not waiting until January to continue their love affair for the Obamas. Instead of concentrating on why President elect “Change” is filling his cabinet with Washington insiders and former Clinton cronies they will talk about how “inspirational” the Obamas are.
Get used to it because it’s only going to get worse…and it’s going to last all 4 years.
This is no surprise to me.
The media was extremely influential in getting BarackO The Clown elected by ignoring any negativity and the outright failure to do their jobs. No way will they turn their backs on him. I believe they will not only cover for him but lie as well in order to show the world they were right all along. He’s a media deity.
Just so you know the Chicago Tribune endorsed him (the first for a democrat) and has published special editions, special sections and glowing front page imagery daily.
The mythical “cool factor” of President-Elect Barack Obama has many in the media in complete swoon mode. As a member of the realist Left, those in that swoon mode will be the first to bear claws when Obama turns out to be just a President and not the Blackberry-slinging, ultra-hip, cool Professor, mythical figure that seems to be flying around.
I can’t wait…
Yes well, The Obamas are on the cover of People AGAIN this week. You know, we too here in HP had the full page “Change has arrived” with a full page picture of O after the election. Get used to it… its here to stay. Now I didnt drink my hater-ade this morning, I had plenty yesterday, so it is probably left over. So Ill just say this, the left is going to argue that O has been on the cover so many times because they werent going to waste it on a loser ( McCain ), I personally think it is because he was slipping them money.
Repetition: The act or process or an instance of repeating or being repeated.
A recitation or recital, especially of prepared or memorized material.
Repetition is the best way to pound something in the heads of mindless voters out there who voted on a principle that Martin Luther King himself was against. But oh well…
O hasnt been on the cover of AARP…
Who cares that he isnt 55 or older…
Watch out for this too… Im sure he will get darker with each print of himself. The media wants him to be as far away from his white half as possible!
