lukin Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I wonder if CBC would have covered this if it was George Bush who said what Obama said. Every gaffe Bush said was glamorized by the likes of the CBC. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/featured/prime-time/867432237001/cult-of-christianity/1188238171001#1188142253001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubberMiley Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Every gaffe Bush said was glamorized by the likes of the CBC. Glamorized? You mean they made his gaffes seem glamourous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukin Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Glamorized? You mean they made his gaffes seem glamourous? Yes, glamorized in a negative tone. Making a big deal out of every little gaffe. I guess you can't criticize Obama, because that would make you a racist. More hypocrisy. Do you disagree with the content of the video, bubber?

Shady Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Did you guys see the Obama gaffes from last week? Gaffe #1: He says Warren Buffet shouldn't be paying a higher tax rate than a Jew. Gaffe #2: He decides to wave during a UN leader photo, covering the face of the leader standing beside him. The guy's a complete moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Obama is a gaffe-machine. He stutters all the time. He's a much worse off-the-cuff speaker than George Bush. Of course, most people still subscribe to this mythology of Obama being a great orator (he does have a good voice when he tries, and when he's reciting a rehearsed speech), because the media buries his innumerable gaffes.

Bob Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Here is one of many videos online of Obama's many gaffes. He has said unbelievably stupid things so many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 THIS was a really funny gaffe from Obama. To be fair, being the President of the USA is certainly a hard job and he's always in front of the camera. He's bound to make mistakes. The double standard seen in the media with respect to how Bush was portrayed as dumb while Obama is seen as an "intellectual" (yeah, right) is apparent as these types of gaffes were completely buried.

Michael Hardner Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 The media under reports his gaffes because, well I'm not sure why... maybe because they like him. They shouldn't pay such close attention to gaffes, except for the fact that people pay attention to such things and it gets people to watch the news. Bush wasn't stupid, and it was unfair for the media to hound him as a supposed dolt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacee Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Bush wasn't stupid, and it was unfair for the media to hound him as a supposed dolt... But he made it soooooo eeeeeeeeasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukin Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 But he made it soooooo eeeeeeeeasy! Yes, because the supposedly fair media didn't like Bush. Mark Twain said it best: If you don't follow the news, you're uninformed. If you follow the news, you're misinformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 guys, guys... do you have anything other than propaganda from your referenced Sun Media outlets (Sudbury Star & Toronto Sun) - anything current like, uhhhh... you know, BBM PPM numbers - trending preferred, don't ya know! c'mon... more current than this somewhat dated reference: Sun News drawing as little as 4,000 viewers during some time slots ... more current than this somewhat less dated reference: The fledgling Sun News channel bragged that it made a breakthrough this week, gaining record numbers Thursday with Charles Adler at 8 p.m. (62,000 overnight estimated viewers) and Byline with Brian Lilley at 9 (80,000). Was there a lynching? Both dropped the next night (30,000 and 19,000) and tanked the night after that (two thousand viewers each), although, to be fair, nothing draws Saturday night Pierre Paladeau (sp?) and couple of thousand stockholders Who doesn't?

Oleg Bach Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Having been in the media buisness in the past - all I know about talking heads and actors is that they will say anything - do anything - betray all of humanity just to be in front of a camera - to them it is all about "look mum - I'm on TV - I am the great success we all dreamed of" - all actors and talking heads are shallow ---and all of them will parrot the policy of the ownersof the media who are like a secret shadow government - If the media types so much as show a glimer of truth...it's out the door for them.. Years ago I would audition for commerical on occasions - they always picke the best liar for the job - the one who could look you in the eye and not so much as twitch while the lied...with me they could see this little glimmer that might blurt - "the king has no clothes" - I never got any of those jobs ----------media types who love the lime light more than doing what right - should be tossed into a pit of shit.

Oleg Bach Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 The media are like a receptionist at some big guys office...they make the bad guys look good - that's what they are paid for - the media is the culprits voice to the world...oh well.
