Karl Rove is an informal adviser to the McCain campaign. Karl Rove is also an adviser to the pro-republican 527 group "Freedom's Watch". Nearly every day Karl Rove spouts his bullshit on the republican news channel Foxnews, because he is a "political analyst" as Foxnews says. Karl Rove is also an Op-Ed writer for the Wall Street Journal (recently bought by Foxnews & Murdoch).
This guy is slime as you all know, yet he is flooding the American news media with his smear jobs on Obama.
Today, CNN displayed Obama accussed of 'arrogance' on their front page (which Rove said). A lot of you say "well don't watch / read CNN if you don't like it". Well, CNN is the 2nd most viewed news website on the internet receiving several millions of hits a day, so it is worth monitoring in my opinion. CNN displays an even bigger article of what Rove said on the front page of their politics section, as we speak. http://www.cnn.com/... . Here are the last 3 day's actual headlines at CNN in the morning:
-Obama 'distorting' the bible. (This one is my favorite, because in the morning it was just in the ticker, then they moved it to the front page as their top story in the afternoon, apparently deciding they weren't smearing him enough)
-Obama accused of 'talking white'
-Obama 'arrogant' says Rove
Today, the Wall Street Journal (recently bought by Foxnews & Murdoch), let Karl Rove use their newspaper as political propaganda and as a smear job on Obama. What does this allow him to do? Smear Obama, and then 527s can quote the Washington Post in their attack ads. Karl Rove's Article. Remember a few months ago after Fox purchased the WSJ and said they'd keep it independent?
What will Karl Rove say on Foxnews tonight? Why the hell is everyone on earth giving this guy a mouth piece? Why was Karl Rove able to set the media narrative today on Obama? Why do people allow Karl Rove to have this much power?
I think the smear campaign of Obama by the GOP and by the Media is in full force. While the media may be doing it because McCain is the underdog or the same reasons as Karl Rove in Foxnews' case, Karl Rove is a crummy human being.
