We all remember how, during the primary season, T.V. journalists piled on Senator Clinton everyday and promoted Senator Obama non-stop. On the Republican side, they treated Senator McCain and his flip flops with kid gloves.
I mentioned during that period of time that if Obama received the Democratic nomination, in time, journalists would turn on him and promote McCain in the general election. Well, it is already starting to happen. They are now promoting a so called rift between Senator Clinton, her husband, and Obama. They are even saying that Senator Clinton wants her name to be placed in nomination at the convention, although that is pure speculation. Mike Barnicle, while guest hosting MSNBC's Hardball on 8/7, devoted some time on the subject with 3 guests. Their tone was that Senator Clinton was going to make demands and split or hurt the party. What they all failed to report and/or mention is that Senator Clinton herself said that she would work for party unity at the convention and, in fact, campaigned for Senator Obama this week.
Journalists will continue to plant the seed that their pronouncements are fact in an effort to create and distract from the actual news on the subject. They are showing their ass again in trying to manipulate the general election vote in McCain's favor. Anything to hurt Sen. Obama or portray the Democratic Party weak in any way will be what journalists continue to portray until November. Hopefully the American people wise up and do their own research in order to inform themselves since journalists can no longer be trusted to do so.
