The confusion continues…

Just to clarify - Osama Bin Laden attacked the US during 9/11, while Barack Obama is an elected Senator from the state of Illinois. I hope the media understands this.

CNN once again slanders Obama

It seems the talent at CNN is not what it used to be. How can you trust a news organization that gets it so wrong.

At least Wolf Blitzer apologized,

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: One additional note, I just want to make a correction, an apology, Soledad, for what we did yesterday. In “THE SITUATION ROOM,” we had a bad typographical error in one of ourgraphics. We were doing a piece on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in this new year 2007.

Unfortunately there was a graphic, instead of saying where is Osama, it said where is Obama. We want to apologize for that bad typo. We want to also apologize personally to Senator Barack Obama. I’m going to be making a call to him later this morning to offer my personal apology –Soledad.

See the video.

Wow, CNN is pretty innovative. I wonder when they’ll start comparing Obama to Hitler. Thank God we have CNN covering the important issues that face our world.

Check out this memorable video clip on Digg.

Is this picture of Obama on the ABCNews website doctored?

You be the judge…

This is the link to the abcnews site where the pic showed up. This picture was originally posted on DailyKos. An online poll showed that 68 percent of people who saw the picture thought it was doctored. Below are other pictures of Obama so you can compare.

has a tough road ahead of him. He is not the typical presidential candidiate. He is of a mixed heritage. His mother is from Kansas and his father is from Kenya. Yet, he represents a new America, where a person is judged not on the basis of their color, but by the content of their character. ObamaMediaWatch.com seeks to ensure that Senator Obama is treated fairly by the press. He is an American and he deserves equal treatment from the media irrespective of his heritage or his name. The website has been started to monitor the press coverage the Senator receives. Any bigoted or racist attacks against Obama will be documented and categorized by media outlet.
