Backlash from the media on coverage of The Messiah
On Chris Mathews show, Hardball ( MSNBC ) Andrea Mitchell criticizes Obama’s media manipulation during his war zone trip, saying he’s conducting what some would call “fake interviews,” adding we dont’ know what’s really going on because the media has been excluded.

MITCHELL: Let me just say something about the message management. He didn’t have reporters with him, he didn’t have a press pool, he didn’t do a press conference while he was on the ground in either Afghanistan or Iraq. What you’re seeing is not reporters brought in. You’re seeing selected pictures taken by the military, questions by the military, and what some would call fake interviews, because they’re not interviews from a journalist. So, there’s a real press issue here. Politically it’s smart as can be. But we’ve not seen a presidential candidate do this, in my recollection, ever before.
When Matthews inquired about the atmospherics of the trip, Mitchell made clear her frustration as a reporter.
MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about access to the troops, Andrea. A lot of African-American faces over there, very happy, delighted faces. Is that a representation of the percentage of servicepeople who are African-American, or did they all choose to join someone they like, apparently? What’s the story?
MITCHELL: I can’t really say that. Being a reporter who was not present in any of those situations, I just cannot report on what was edited out, what was, you know, on the sidelines. That’s my issue. We don’t know what we are seeing.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
There was Gergen at CNN in my other post saying Obama made a big, big mistake. There’s only one president at a time, and he’s out there negotiating with Maliki and all these other foreign leaders as though he’s the president.
He did make a BIG mistake!!! It IS going to cost him in the end. But Nazi Peeloser did it too, remember? This is what the Logan Act is for. I just hope that those who turn from Obamanation don’t just sit home in November watching the returns, but get out there and vote anyway! At least he’s not pretending to be King of the World. Obamanation is NOT my Messiah. No one of voting age should think their vote doesn’t count because it does, it does. This time around we could really, really screw it up and it will never be fixed if we break it.
Lynn, I think so too. I hate that we only have McCain but he is not anything like what Obama would do. I hope people get out and vote against Obama.
Sometime back I commented about ‘getting the ticket punched’. That is what Osama-Obama is doing, he’s getting that ticket punched and only via one whirlwind visit of treasonous behavior at that. Monkey see, Monkee do, It’s that old saw of see one, do one, teach one, no absorption time to become an expert or even proficient. Imagine him getting a license to practice medicine or become a surgeon, the analogy is the same, less than 6 months of actual time in the senate and he’s suddenly a worldly diplomat with that Democrat word of, Gravitas.
Jack, “treasonous behavior” is exactly what he has been doing. OMG that is a great example if he wasa a surgeon, very scary.
Obama foolishness is insulting the poor voters trying to make ends meet,but if he insists that may become offensive against the mankind
