Real Character vs. Media Concocted Character
The establishment media has been in overdrive since day one showering accolades upon his highness of moral virtue, B. Hussein Obama. The tilt in reporting is so blatant it just may backfire as the voting public may resent the manipulation and insult to their intelligence.
In contrast, we hear or see little of John McCain that would endear him to anyone. He's just that old guy. Here in Japan, many people probably don't even know anyone is running for president other than Obama and the ghost of Hillary Clinton. During the primaries Japanese "news" stations had lengthily segments of dramatic closeup footage of Obama's speeches; chanting his cliche' mantras before cult-like audiences (of receptive and deluded Democrats). McCain, when mentioned at all, was shown briefly (usually, mere seconds) in long shot poses – typically with no sound.
Occasionally, in the U.S. media, a brief note will be made that McCain was a POW in Vietnam.
This link from a couple of weeks ago is clearly biased in McCain's favor (a rare thing indeed), but what struck me about it was how such notable traits of good character are so absent in main stream reporting to the public regarding Obama's opponent.
I'm not saying the same kind of hero worship bestowed to Obama should also be offered to McCain (I cant' even really say I'm passionately "for" him anyway) I am saying that his character appears to have some notable positive traits and I think they outweigh Obama's mere capacity to rally his flock of leftist media clones.
The attributes noted in the linked article above are rather impressive I think and yet we'll hear little of them from most media mouthpieces. We'll just keep hearing about what a swell guy Obama is, and keep not hearing (or having significantly downplayed) his shady allegiances to extremist principals and associations.
Obama; "change, hope, 'yes we can,' "...and nothing else but a cheering section of pampered charlatans in Journalism.
Vote no for the medias' latest choice in socialist nonsense.
