Sharks Finally Smell The Blood

An unexpected consequence of the 2008 Presidential election is that my lovely wife started listening to talk radio. She would come in and tell me what Rush or Sean was saying about the election. It was an amazing thing to finally see her involved in the process of how each side works to discredit the other. As a conservative (I cannot say Republican any more because they are just as tax and spend as any Democrat politician), I supported the Republicans simply due to McCain's VP choice. Anyway, my wife hit on something that I thought was nothing short of brilliant.

She has been listening to how the media has been treating Obama as of late. All of a sudden, there are all kinds of things wrong with the man who has no past. It has been a stream of small digs that you would never have seen prior to November. Her theory is that they knew all along that Obama was a slimy worm. They also had done extensive research on McCain and found that the skeletons in his closet were actually Halloween costumes for his grand kids. He would have made a very boring President with no real juicy things to dig up and report on.

Obama on the other hand will have a boat load of news worthy items that will provide fodder for the cannons and help to increase viewership or circulation of the free fall news medias. So the main stream media wasn't really supporting Obama for his political view. It was about the money. I do not know how I could have been so blind. I though that the media did not understand capitalism. Of course I could be wrong. It may not be an understanding of free enterprise that is driving this farce. It could be that the patient is so terminally ill that they are grasping at any straw to keep breathing. What a way to starve off the grim reaper; fixing the election for the President of the United States. Somehow that should be illegal.
