After months of enduring the likes of Chris Matthews and other media Obama-babies smearing their candidate and demanding that she drop out of the race, Hillary Clinton’s supporters converged en masse in downtown Manhattan today to protest media bias.
Does anyone expect the mainstream media to react to criticism of its own bias? Why would they? I think it would take far more than several hundred protesters to get their attention. Instead, this kind of grassroots pro-Hillary support just energizes the sniveling lefties at Daily Kos and gives them another reason to reprise their fatigued incantations about Obama’s delegate lead.
My preference would have been to protest Obama’s anti-gay, anti-white, anti-American agenda. We could pass out Obama’s purloined speeches from Deval Patrick, copies of Michele Obama’s racist, anti-white thesis from her days at Princeton, and blast Rev. Wright’s anti-American ”sermons” through the PA system so that everyone could hear the sort of mentoring that Obama holds dear.
Maybe, another day.
Click here to read the smug scribbling of the Daily Kos.It’s very entertaining. While you’re there, note the pre-Salinist colors for their blog. (Where’s Trotsky when you need him?)
You can also visit Hillary Clinton Forum, which sponsored the protest. The web site has more alley ways and tunnels than Hanoi during the peak of the air war, but you should be able to find something interesting to read.

Thankyou for reporting on our protest. The same format is being used for 3 other protests from Ca. to Wa. D.C. Time for the people to choose and not the media!!

Thank you so much for an unbiased report of the protest! The pic gives me faces to go along with the names I have been so politically active with.

As one of the people protesting today in NYC I appreciate your comments. This was one of many steps needed to show certain members of the media that we’re on their overt bias and attempt to select the Democratic Presidential candidate. While we tried to take the high road today, stressing fairness in reporting, which could apply to any candidate, there were discussions during the planning of this event questioning if we should go negative as you suggest. It was the general consensus of the Hillary Clinton Forum members to not go that route at this time. But of course that could change.

I’m glad to see coverage–especially unbiased coverage!–about this important event. I’ve scoured the mainstream media today and…so far…have yet to find ONE WORD about it. I wish I could have been there, but I’m glad some of my friends from HillaryClintonForum.net were there. Now if the mainstream media would just STOP deifying oBLAHma and start reporting FAIRLY on Clinton…what a refreshing change that would be!

Thanks for your reporting! Many of us on the Forum got a kick out your description of its “circuitry.”
I have to agree with others here that the focus of today’s protest–media bias and degeneration–is too important an issue to gloss over. It’s the right way to call people to attention. I think it’s incumbent on all citizens to be good stewards of the airwaves and speak up when they see journalism devolving into subjective, insulting, disrespectful rant-and-rave fests that go beyond reasoned criticism, and in which every dispatch feels staged as a prejudicial manipulation of information.
We shouldn’t stand for it regardless of who the target of such maltreatment may be.
That said, time to let loose the BIG guns! Oblahma’s liabilities are HUGE, and since we can’t count on Herr Dean and the Gang of Losers to accept that reality, it’s time to get it done ourselves.
Obama is all that Rake said and more, which makes him even less! He’s inauthentic to the core and a self-hating homosexual who hangs with homophobes…and racists who’ve coopted and bastardized liberation theology as a rationale for their gospel of hatred.
Too many people are deaf to the cadence of Obama’s speechifying. They don’t hear that studied, modulated pitch that’s devoid of compassion and heart-to-heart engagement.
ICK! I vote for a no-holds-barred onslaught of truth.

Media should stop showing biases and emotions. That ways they will have time to show the real world and facts. I believe media today is getting to localized. Guys(Media) grow up!….
