Obama doing cocaine was found out....NOT by any media reporting on him...But by his OWN ADMISSION in one of the TWO books he wrote about his favorite topic....Himself...

While you try to change the subject to the CONTENT of "who did what?", the actual topic is STILL "the media" and "how it reports Republicans" and "how they DON'T report Obama"...
Baloney. For starters the Rightwing narrative that the media gave preferential treatment to Obama in the campaign has been debunked.

If we can get passed that and try to look at the media impartially you'll find that it LOVES to report on any bizarre aspect of a candidate for as long as it draws rating - whether it is news or not, left or right. Obama right now is hold hat - Romney is new meat. Obama's cocaine admission was in the media as was a whole host of other irrelevant and even fictional stuff WHEN it was "news".

No. No, it hasn't. If anything, it's reaffirmed almost every day.

Really?...

The Washington Post TODAY did an article about Romney's high school days and interviewed more than a few of his classmates...

Where's the piece on Obama's high school days and all of the interviews from Obama's classmates?...Oh yeah...There isn't one...

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT...

That's because during high school he was in Kenya learning how to make fashionable explosive vests from Bin Laden while he was waiting for his fake birth certificate to be forged.

There's no context in that. It's called deflection.

So tell me again...who is Bush running against? I mean, I know you people would love it if Barry was running against Bush again and you want to do everything you can to make it seem that way...but most people got tired of hearing the Bush excuse about 2 years into listening to Barry whine about it.
Nope.

Deflection is anytime Bush is mentioned in a negative way, there's a reflective action trying to shut the person up.

You can incoherently babble about irrelevant topics all you like; it's a free country.

But that doesn't mean I have to indulge your deflective conversations. Now would you like to sit at the big folks' table and take part in the same conversation the rest of us are having?

No one knows about Obama between the ages of 5 in Indonesia and 20 in Columbia...

No one knows about Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30...

Coincidence?...

Not really. It just means Obama had an extra 7 years to learn how to be a better Messiah.

Yes really: The Myth of Pro-Obama Media Bias - that narrative is not only dead but decomposing on the beach.

As far as this election is concerned - is Romney getting more coverage than Obama? Hell yes. He's the new kid on the block. We've already run every aspect of Obama real and delusional - through the political food processor. They even interviewed people where he went to kindergarten.

So, it sounds suspiciously like you seem to expect the media to go through again "just to be fair". Why? There's no market or ratings to be had.

They'll eventually dig up and make up whatever they can on Romney and then get tired of it and focus on the issues.

Depends. Are you still going to insist on throwing rotten tomatos and pretending it's good manners?
