From what I see the collective media would love to see a black-white slug fest in the run-up to the democratic convention. For the most part it's not the Clinton campaign or the Obama campaign. Seems to me that the TV networks in particular bring on the type of guests who are just salivating for a race war between black and white America. They prefer to dwell on Obama's race and Clinton's gender and do very little reporting on substantial issues.
The media is running a rating war. They are trying to get us to watch and whatever that takes is what they will report. Newspapers and news media have always had an influence on how the American people think and react. Our job is to think independently and not let them influence us.
It was really interesting that more of the people had confidence in the answers given by John Edwards, but were planning to vote for Obama. What kind of sense does that make. If they voted the way they felt, Edwards would win?? Their reason for voting for Obama was that they did not think Edwards would win, duh! Maybe the voters get what they deserve for not having the courage to vote the way they think.
A slugfest of any kind would be welcomed by the media! Right now they have two minorities running against each other for the top Dem spot. They have a black man against a white woman, what could be more fun for the media, especially if they can stir the pot? But what they forget is tha Obama is half white and Clinton is half male...............

The media, in one way or another, has always done this. Racialized entertainment sells well.
So what kind of corporate sponsor buys into that crap anyway?
The media will portray this race baiting line and then frame Hilbilly as the poor defenseless female being attacked and the ignorant American public will lap it up and vote for her. The scumbag media wants Hilbilly to win.

I think the opposite is true. Name one media outlet that portrays Hillary as defenceless. In fact she might have too much defence (Bill Clinton). If anything it's Obama who gets a pass in the media. The only time Obama takes any heat is from Bill or in the debates.
