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.

    There was no need to investigate Obama's life; he'd written it all down in his books.
    I read them and I'm not even from America.

    You should be thankful you didn't get anymore Republicans.
    Palin can't string a sentence together.
    What Americans don't realise is that the rest of the world was sick of your government; Bush was a huge laughing stock.
    The choices of your leader unfairly affect so much of the rest of the world.
    Now you have an intelligent, eloquent, honest person in the White House, The Rest of the World breathes a sigh of relief and you should be happy you got someone like him.
    We are!

  • Truth B Told
    The red line under your words mean its not spelled correctly. But with an opinion like yours I wouldn't expect you to know that.
  • WAKE UP
    Sue, I used to say that, In about 50 years, historians will realise what a great President George Bush was - but at Obama's present rate (and ratings drops) , I think it'll only take about 50 more weeks.
  • vb
    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.
  • Bamabelle
    Last time I checked, white folks voted for him too so does that make the whites who voted for him racist as well? Last time I checked blacks only made up 12 percent of the population so even with our vote, he still wouldn't have won this election.
  • Dani
    AMEN - Brutha!
  • dave
    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
  • Ben
    Don't confuse me with any facts, I am voting for Obama. Well I guess they did.
  • Truth B Told
    My dog knows more than the dem's they interviewed,but they are of average mindset to their party.
  • well...the question of where did they get their news from...should have been more of a focus?...for when the woman said "npr"...i laughed outloud....lol
  • Ron H
    The number of correct answers was actually higher than I expected from Obama voters!
