MSNBC objective is to reassure democrat voters

When watching the Rachel Maddow show one thing came to mind: is her goal to reassure democrat voters that the republican ticket is going to fail. There are many aspects of her show content that make me thing that. The one thing that stands out to me the most is that Maddow keeps showing conservative journalist bashing Palin. It is quite clear to the general public that people think that Palin is not ready to be Veep, but I don't think we need to keep being reminded.
Fox News does not keep saying how Sarah Palin was bad decision, they assume that we are aware, and display her mistakes. If NBC was a child its dialog would be on the lines of "haha even those conservatives think she was a bad choice, we were right you wrong."

Rachel Maddow does let McCain write her Headlines

Tonight's feature topic on the Rachel Maddow Show was the "suspension" of McCain's campaign, and not the economic crisis. Rachel interviewed Keith Olbermann and both claimed the McCain has been writing his own news headlines. If you haven't noticed the headlines involving McCain have a rapid turn over rate, much quicker than Obama. Can you believe that he claimied "he invented the Blackberry" last week? If you can't, it's because McCain has made so many other statements and "decisions" since then so that the media would steer away from his many "intelligent" comments.

Letterman

Letterman Says...someone is putting something in his metamucil

McCain was supposed to appear on the Late Show tonight...however McCain has suspended his campaign.
Letterman started off his show by saying what an honorable man McCain is because he gave up everything except his life for America, but....something does not smell right. Letterman made a good point...you cannot suspend your presidency when there is a crisis...you hand over the reins to the VP. Why doesn't McCain trust Palin....I wonder?

McPanic Duh

Obviously we are all writing about the reasons why McCain is suspending his campaign and asking for the Friday debate to be postponed. Is it because he is afraid of David Letterman? This decision process feels awfully familiar to the one he used when picking his VP, and the media is reacting to it in the same fashion. Yesterday McCain showed no signs of suspending his campaign when he was dealing with energy issues, and today he drastically changed his mode.
Obviously the cable networks are interviewing democrats and republican congressional leaders, and there are mixed opinions. While the National networks just show the main points and let the viewers make up their own opinions.
McCain claims that his decision is to redirect America's focus onto the economic crisis rather than the election, however America is now focusing more on why McCain made such a panicky decision...
McCain has done it once again he is forcing the media to pull away from the "real" issues and discuss his campaign decision making skills instead just like they did with his Palin pick.

Lies Lies and More Lies

It came out today in a New York Times "Alert" that Freddie Mac paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned John McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis. This completely contradicts a statement McCain made on Sunday night. This information could say many things about McCain: that he is too old and forgetful, that he does not even know what is going on in his own campaign, or that he is just a VERY bad lier.

Spain in Latin America?

Today John McCain had an interview with a radio talk show host based out of Miami. The host asked McCain if he would be willing to meet with Zapatero, the prime minister of Spain. It became apparent during the interview that McCain did not know who Zapatero is and thought he was "a few" leaders. McCain also made a statement later on claiming that Spain was in Latin America.

Fired HP CEO Crticizes her Candidate

On September 16 Andrea Mitchell interviewed former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Those of you who are not familiar with Fiorina she is a surrogate for McCain she also was a major speaker at the RNC. Earlier that day Fiorina stated over a radio talk show that Sarah Palin was incapable of running a major corporation (like HP). MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell followed up with this statement by asking Carly to explain herself and Carly replied: "Well, I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation." Is Fiorina really that narcissistic to think that running a major coorporation is more difficult than being the commander in chief of one of the world's most powerful countries. I would like to see her do it. Many commentators also claimed that Fiorina would reiterate her comments to Mitchell by the end of day, but she didn't.
Today Mitt Romney was interviewed on several major networks including MSNBC's Morning Joe. Coincidence, I think not. Mitt is the perfect person to clear the air of Fiorina's prior comments, with him having run several SUCCESSFUL corporations and also having governed Massachusetts. Romney said the obvious that both McCain and Palin were knowledgeable and experienced enough to run companies.
I still wonder why Fiorina would make those statements I mean HP did fire her....I guess we won't be seeing her for a while!

Maybe McCain's economic state is strong!

Yesterday (September 15), one of the worst days for the economy in decades, McCain made a statement basically claiming that the economy is stable and even strong. Could this be why individuals say McCain is out of touch with American society? Without a question the media is narrowing in on the subject of the economy, and each of the candidates' reactions to the crisis on Wall St. This is the first time since Palin was put on the ballot that the candidates' policies are actually being discussed and the race is between Obama and McCain rather than Obama and Palin. Could the economic crisis answer Obama's prayers and get him back on top?
