Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are enriched by cosy political-media complex

The unprecedented rewards for being a top American politician and cosy relations with the media are fuelling cynicism among voters, writes Toby Harnden.

Leave it to the British to report what the USA media refuses or just too lazy to find it.
All we have been hearing for a week is Palin's earnings. The USA media has been mum on Obama's fortune.

Ya got them blinders on agin!
Every mainstream network celebrated tax week with a line-by-line report of the Obama's tax return! Go ahead, google it. Watch the media hits.

What, did Fox skip it ?!? Must have been they didn't want to publicize the huge donations which were included.

Fox is an entertainment network don't expect real news.

Well, I was actually watching a cooking segments on the Today Show and switched to Fox to get the morning news. I saw the segment about the Obama taxes and researched more about it on the Internet. I thought if I posted it on here, I'd better use a European news outlet so the liberals would believe it.

For me it is quite the contrary...when you use a foreign news source it makes me more skeptical.

And it was all over the news...

The USA media has been mum on Obama's fortune This time you are soooooooo busted. If you don't watch the MSM how can you comment on what they report? Will we see a retraction?

LOL I get most of my info online. There hasn't been much buzz on Obama's $$$ as has Palin's.

By the way, old media is getting less main stream every day.

IMHO this post and your whole thread is just another pathetic, irrational, hateful expression.

Hateful? How about Obama's dogs in the media calling moms and pops and grandma's and grandpa's racists and extremists because they care about this country? There is hateful talk going around alright.

Also, if you have nothing to contribute, stop employing the old allinski trick of attacking the messenger. Personal attacks are not welcome.

Donna....the content of the email would be considered projection.

What e-mail? I don't even have a link on this thread. And who is tired of the Alinski BS? Did you take a poll without me knowing?
There are still millions of people who are unaware of the left's tactics but before November comes, they definitely will. I will repeat it a million times if I have to.

First things first....just because you say Obama uses Alinsky rules for radicals doesn't mean it is true. But the tactic is to repeat something so many times that people actually believe it. So just for fun I looked up the Rules for Radicals..... and I found 2 things I thought interesting..


Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Sounds like the Tea Party is using some of ole Sal's tactics....

You can learn from almost anyone, even your enemies.

Do you ever watch Morning Joe on MSNBC...I always try to watch.

This morning they were discussing this WH and administration and how they handle the press. They were talking about "punching down" which means acting high and mighty and striking at anyone who says anything bad about you (my short definition of a discussion) and how this WH does that more THAN ANY ADMINSTRATION ANYONE COULD REMEMBER ~!

Which reminds me...when will this President ever have a real news conference...I will even watch it on the network of your choice but seems unlikely that he will have one anywhere in the near future. We are now approaching a full year !

Unless they come up with a teleprompter that can anticipate a question with an answer it is unlikely to happen. Fox news didn't sign the loyalty oath in blood like the lap dogs did and there is always a chance that an errant question that wasn't planned might be asked.

Actually I do tune into Morning Joe when I am in a hotel or in Colorado. I don't have full cable in TV.

Honestly I hadn't noticed about the press conference.....
