HowObamaGotElected.com

A new website has been launched which looks at the media’s role in the election of Obama. Called howobamagotelected.com the site alleges that Obma got elected because the news media failed to do their job. Malpractice was the term they used, and it Malpractice by the Media; How Obama Got Elected is the name of the documentary that the people behind the site are putting out. I guess these guys are right wing Michael Moores.

The video is fascinating. Check it out.

The site also commissioned a telephone survey which verifies the results of the video interviews. Rightly or wrongly, the American people have made their judgement on Palin and the Republicans and its all pervasive. I guess they can blame Tine Fey and SNL.

Zogby Poll
512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet…..

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we “gave” one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

The media did NOT ask Obama the hard questions. Did not investigate his background. They pilloried Palin. They investigated her, her daughter. They spent an unseemly amount of time trying to dig up every single little bit of dirt that they could find on her and her family. Obama and his family had absolutely no investigation,no questions.No answers as for why he listened to Wright for 20 years yet never heard hate speech, even though recordings of it were sold in the church. No questions about Wm. Ayres the lefty terrorist.Obama supposedly highly educated yet knew nothing of Ayres?The media worshiped him and demonized McCain. The Dems,Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were responsible for the Fannie and Freddie mess, no questions on that .Go to YouTube and watch Barney Frank deny that there was no problem with Fannie and Freddie. Obama blamed Bush and his administration for that mess even though he tried to get it regulated.The media wanted Obama and got Obama and we all got hosed.

Black america did not give a damn about Obama's past or character. The indictment is that black america would support the anti-christ it he turns out to be black. I dare anyone to 'Prove' me wrong.....A black man.

As the old saying goes. CONTROL the media, control the masses. This election was the perfect example of that. That will never change as you can see how close the elections are with the bias imagine what the elections would be with out the bias. Most americans favor the Republic ideas of government

The number of correct answers was actually higher than I expected from Obama voters!

They'll blame anything that moves at this stage -- but to be fair, rightly or wrongly, quite a few people were unhappy that Bush got elected as well. The election is over, so now we just sit back for the next four years and see if it was right or wrong decision (but hey, at least let give the guy a chance to actually do something before you call him a dud).

Oh by the way, that Zogby poll -- yeah, not so great.

I fail to see your point of your comment. What, you shouldn't look into one's patterns, tendencies, statements, associates? It's been said that Obama couldn't even pass the secret service screening to protect his own ass because of his associations. Why should he be trusted as commander in chief?

YOU CAN'T SAY PEOPLE ARE STUPID; DUE TO THE FACTS THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN. I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY HE WAS ELECTED BECAUSE HE WAS "BLACK" AND HE ISN'T! HE IS HALF & HALF. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN BLACK PEOPLE REJECTED ZEBRA'S IE.. HALF & HALF. THEN THE MEDIA WAS SO BIASED IT WAS REDICULIOUS. I THINK THAT CONGRESS SHOULD HOLD A HEARING ON MEDIA MISINFORMATION/MEDIA MALPRACTICE. I AIN'T SAYING MCCAIN WAS THE BEST CHOICE BUT HE WAS A LOT BETTER THAN OBAMA. IF HE WAS THE RIGHT AMERICAN FOR THE JOB I WOULDN'T BE CONCERNED BUT VOTERS WERE MISINFORMED.

Tim, You need to check out proper Internet Etiquette where typing all in capitols is the same as yelling. It doesn't help your cause one bit.

$650 million buys a lot of PR. Being the media darling doesn't hurt either. Finally, the threat of even a hint of racism casts a pall over the doo-gooder networks who are too timid to just report the facts and expose real conversations by the candidates themselves...........

This documentary just shows how uninformed people are. I think if you choose to vote you should take
responsibility and learn all you can about the candidates and what they stand for. I hope there will be
more information out there in the future. I could not believe the media was so biased. It was so
disapointing. It really opened my eyes. I hope our country survives this!

Poor, Poor Media is now exposed for what they did not report.
I dumped the main stream media (tilted, slanted, filtered and biased) a long time ago and never looked back, I also encourage others to do the same. In this economy, you do not need to buy filtered newspapers, save your money, you are going to need it!!
Educate yourself, it is the only way that you can control what you learn (thank God Al Gore) invented the internet.

Our founding fathers did not intend for the vote to be extended to the general public....now you know why.
Obama would not have been elected if he were not black....excuse me...African America.(I want to see the birth certificate and school grades long before I trust him)
The New York Times, Washing Post, MSNBC and a few other yellow pages should be boycoted.

American blacks voted for what they thought was a Black Man (no excuse here), instead they voted for a black face. They still deney his muslim background. I agree with Rev. Manning.."the only way to bring them down is to boycott all parties associated with him".

Why won't Obama show his original certificate of live birth to dispell the notion that he was not eligible to run for the highest office in the land? Is it because he was actually born in Kenya as Phillip Berg's lawsuit claims?

As a Christian conservative, I was very disappointed in this election. The media and newspapers were extremely biased towards the democratic party, and the people were lied to and misinformed. I personally boycoted CNN and only listened to Fox News. I think we will pay a great price for the misdirection we are going to be guided into. I also think President-elect Obama was shocked that he pulled this one off with his charismatic munipulation and because of his novice experience, He will take us in a down spiral tail spin that will take us a long time to get out of. My gravest concern is for the killing and murder of more innocent babies through abortion and redefining marriage through same sex unions. It is against God's laws to shed innocent blood and kill those who can't speak for themselves and redefine a covenant of marriage between a man and a woman designed by Him. If the government wants to separate church and state, then they need to quite crossing over the boundaries of the church by going into these issues that have been set up by God.
