Are We Being Blackmailed to Vote For Obama?
by James Glaser
October 23, 2008

As I have watched this 2008 presidential election take shape, I have been amazed at how the media has taken control of the outcome with its coverage. Nobody will ever be able to convince me that Hillary Clinton got a fair shake in the primaries, nor has John McCain in the general. Sometime last year the media decided that Barack Obama would be our next president, and the fix was in.

Now an even more sinister chapter of this election is unfolding. Just so that no last-minute surge by McCain can take place, the media has decided to play the "fear card" and warn people if Obama is not elected, our country will be torn apart with riots. The following is just one of those warnings being put out. This one is from a Washington, DC newspaper.

Police Prepare For Unrest

The Hill Newspaper, by Alexander Bolton 10/21/08

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential election.

Now, that wouldn't sound so bad, in fact, it sounds rather prudent, but the kicker:

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations.

We already know what sheep the American people are, and when the media hypes fear of riots in the country, which candidate do you think it helps? The message here is, if you don't vote for Obama, then you are going to get riots.

The fix is in, and this year it is the media who is electing our president, and they have picked Barack Obama.

Post Script:

Here is what the Washington Post has to say about this year's Campaign Coverage.

Study: Coverage of McCain Much More Negative Than That of Obama
By Howard Kurtz
Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says.

Fifty-seven percent of the print and broadcast stories about the Republican nominee were decidedly negative, the Project for Excellence in Journalism says in a report out today, while 14 percent were positive. The McCain campaign has repeatedly complained that the mainstream media are biased toward the senator from Illinois.

Obama's coverage was more balanced during the six-week period from Sept. 8 through last Thursday, with 36 percent of the stories clearly positive, 35 percent neutral or mixed and 29 percent negative.
