this is my first diary so give me a break. i have been so frustrated with the media how over the months i have noticed the swiftboating of Obama by the major media outlets MSNBC,CNN,CBS. All the letters and posting on their sites requesting corrections go unanwered. The recent smear by the mccain camp brought up by Palin, i wondered to myself why they showing the clips over and over and not debunking the fact that Obama was only 8 years old when Ayers did his thing.andra Mtichell was defending mccain today in the keating 5 scandal. with the obama rep talking about the 13 min video and why did they do it. anyway it can be viewed at www.keatingeconomics.com. Today I ran across this site: Progressive Daily Beacon the author is unknown,www.progressivedailybeacon.com.i wanted to share with everyone. it confirmed what i have been saying the entire time. maybe we can write letters or call to these media outlets and let them know this election will not be stolen with their foolishness. There are ethics and professionalism that are supposed to be adhered to, and we expect and demand that from the journalistic community.
when these smears are being accentuated by the media the more its being done the more i donate and help get out the vote.
Corporate-owned media falls in line with McCain's smear assault
Interesting, isn't it? On the very day that the McCain campaign is to begin its "Obama is a terrorist" swiftboat-style smear assault, the New York Times leads with a story outlining Obama's non-relationship-relationship with 70s era radical William Ayers. The New York Times concluded, as have all the many reports relating to the subject; the New York Times' piece concluded that Obama did not and does not have ties to Ayers. But, wait! Interesting, too, that ALL THREE CORPORATE-OWNED NETWORKS continued the discussion on Sunday—that is interesting, isn't it?
This Ayres-Obama smear has been debunked ten times over. So, why is the corporate-owned media continuing to play it up? Why are they doing the McCain campaign's dirty work even when they know it is all a lie?
That is simple! The corporate-owned media is doing what their corporate masters want them to do. Corporate America is terrified—scared out of their minds that the American people are going to make the Democratic candidate, Obama, their president and, too, give the Democrats filibuster proof majorities in both houses of congress. The corporations understand what that would mean for them—they know that the people are really pissed off for having to handover a trillion dollars to Wall Street and corporate greed-merchants. The corporations know that the American people are going to want changes to the system! The corporations know that the American people are going to demand an end to the greed-driven trickle down three card monte-like scheme that has been imposed upon them!

Understand, the McCain campaign's "Obama is a terrorist" swiftboat smear assault is being demanded by and propagated by corporate America. Corporate America knows that their only hope for maintaining power is to destroy Obama and to catapult their guy, their very old geezer, John McCain, into the Oval Office. So, it is interesting to see the corporate-owned press begin and to continue McCain's "Obama is a terrorist" swiftboat smear assault, but it isn't happening by accident—it is by design! This is corporate America's way of ensuring that the Democrats won't control all three l
