And it works.

1984: 91% negative coverage of Ronald Reagan.

Let us not forget that it didn’t work.

Your author just condensed the whole thing (the Obama phenomena) but did a sterling job.

The problem is thinking of what to do if he wins another term.

Aside from enjoying a media that is not in a constant, shrill and wild crusade to toss the CIC in jail, there really is a problem with the way the country is working and it seems to be getting no better. As a matter of fact, the more he does, the worse it may get.

I could have predicted this and most of you could, too.

My question is about the “Newswatch” show today. The two lady members of the panel were emphatic that the tape of Obama where he incited a crowd at Hampton University, was “not the same thing as Mitt R’s comment about the 47%. I think they meant that the Romney comment was worse and more relevant.

What did he say? That some part of the electorate would not support him and take responsibility for their lives? Whoa! That is sure dangerous talk, he must not like handouts.

Then we have our president lying about withheld benefits. Using his “expert power” as an elected official to add credence to his nonsense, he was infuriating a group of people who have been really ripped off and lied to for..centuries!

I am friends with blacks and many of them are not the effete model. They are angry as we would be with their history. To play with their anger and scars is incredibly cruel and well, evil.

I think he should go back and set the record straight. I also wish someone would tell me why Romney’s comments are anything more than impolitic.

“So, Mz.____, how’s it feel to be the face of shock and disbelief on Hot Gas?”

The employment numbers still suck and the trolls are useful useless idiots.

The media in this country has a long and disgraceful track record of partisanship.

If you look to the election of Andrew Jackson, you will find papers on both sides that knew few boundaries.

Read a biography of Joseph Pulitzer, in his day he was considered a “muckraker” because he was willing to not only expose the corrupt politicians but the corrupt papers of his day that turned a blind eye to the political machines which ran MOST cities.

The advent of radio led to greater partisan excesses since it was not constrained by print schedules or special editions. The “breaking news” fiascos of today are the grandchildren of the radio news bulletins.

The thought that struck me reading the excellent side by side comparisons Ed has provided above …

… is the media is the inspiration of the trolls which afflict the internet.

Truth can be ground into dust in the pursuit of an ideology – if you don’t have a conscience.

Unemployment dropping to the lowest level in four years is the obvious and correct headline.

Actually, the obvious and correct headline would be:

No one believes the obama labor department’s claim of unemployment dropping to the lowest level in four years

U-6, which counts part-timers, who want full-time work, and the discouraged, is 14.7% and has remained unchanged. If the underemployed (people working a jobs below their skill-sets) are included, the U-6 hits the high teens or low twenties. All combined, there are about 23 million Americans unemployed or underemployed.

The employment numbers still suck and the trolls are useful idiots.

Unemployment dropping to the lowest level in four years is the obvious and correct headline.

You do realize we have less people working now right?
