Default Obama Gets Five and Dime TV Time

Barack Obama’s campaign is swimming in cash.
There are serious questions, though, about the legality of some of Obama’s donors, and Newsmax is taking the lead in the investigation.
Meanwhile, a couple of television networks have decided to give a boost to Obama’s campaign by providing an extraordinary discount for the airing of a primetime infomercial.
According to Obama campaign sources, the first 30 minutes of the primo primetime CBS and NBC hours has been purchased for the ad.
The Democratic candidate’s TV spot is scheduled to air on Oct. 29, a mere six days before the election.
The date was no arbitrary pick either. Oct. 29 (aka “Black Tuesday”) is the infamous date of the 1929 stock market crash.
The amount of money the two networks are reportedly charging for the otherwise lucrative airtime is less than $1 million.
Here’s the lowdown: The Obama campaign is being charged the lowest possible rate the networks can offer without violating the law. It’s called the “lowest unit cost.”
Do you suppose CBS and NBC are going to extend the same offer to the McCain campaign?
Maybe, if McCain agrees to sit down with, and give editing rights to, Katie Couric and Keith Olbermann.

that is a 100,000 people who believe everything Farrakhan says comes from GOD

the US census suggest there are 6 to 8 million muslim's in America today (up from a 2 to 4 million projection just two years ago)

If a ranking member of the Islamic faith says Obama is a messiah, those millions are also listening.

I understand Obama denounced Farrakahn

I understand he even later went back and declined the endorsement

how about the guy saying out loud "I am not a messiah, if for no other reason out fo modesty"

But if Obama really really wants to distance from the Nation of Islam why is the director of constituency services a paid US Senate, Jennifer Mason, still a member of NOI.

Why was the treasurer of his Senate campaign, Cynthia K. Miller, a member of the NOI?

Why for MOST of Obama's political life was his paid photographer, Shakir Muhammed, a member of the NOI.

~ while again not any one single thing here is damning but the cumlative total is overwhelming

I say now, have said, and will say that a GoP canidate of ANY COLOR had these ties the MEDIA would gut them and throw them back.

The fact that any time any one in the media even tries to bring these points to light they are LAMBLASTED as liars, racist, and bigots is disheartening.

These things should be discussed in DETAIL in front of the world.

And hopefully the ACORN connection is a hot topic.

They know if its made an issue he will PROBABLY lose, because the American voters may, probably will, wake up and realize they have been swindled by the media.
well, I think it is a matter of perspective. I would question anyone reporting anything negative about either candidate, without having any substance behind it, other than the report itself. case-in-point, I'm not even aware that anything we have just discussed specifically came from FOX news... unless I missed something, which is possible, given as much as we have been talking about. so if it came from FOX news, I was not even privy to that... thereby, not even knowing I was "discrediting" FOX news.

I do not trust any one news source... so for me to question a story, I assure you, is most certainly not tainted to the news source only, unless it is an obvious piece o' crap like the Enquirerer and such. I don't even trust that rag when they have pictures!

anyway... hope that clears up my thoughts on FOX news. I have no beef with them specifically, or desire to discredit them specifically.

oh... and I am all for news media exploring stories and such. I promise you I have no issue with that. just, if you are going to report, make sure to have all the facts intact, and less speculation... that's all. it's news. now if you want to call it commentary, so be it. that's different.
