GLOBAL PULSE: Blinded By Obama (8/28/2008)

(August 28, 2008) The Democrats gather in Denver to sell Barack Obama to the nation. The $100 million spectacle of the Democratic National Convention seemingly blinds U.S. media to rising political upheaval around the world. Did everyone buy into the hype and hoopla of the Democrats' big show?

2:35 Okay, again... The aggression was BY Georgia!! Russia stepped in to protect the Ossetians who were being slaughtered by Georgian troops... There would be many many more dead if Russia didnt act.. Yet the west scolds them and places the Georgians as victims and the press talks about "aid" to gori and Georgia in general...boohoo!! They cast the FIRST stone!!!

*ah-hmmm*

Death count:

S.Ossetia, 2000+

Georgia, 200-250+

Um, wake up people!!

i think linktv is going to do whatever it wants, and should continue to do so. it is different and vital news, thank you.

Honestly I don't get what this video is harping about. Of course U.S. media will cover the DNC and the election as priority news, since who ever becomes the next president of the United States will shape the events of the globe.  If you think your so independent and want to be different from the major news outlets of America then please keep your opinions elsewhere and just report the news, thank you.

FIGHT MANNEQUINISM!!!

Mannequinism is a phenomenon caused by political and volunteer inactivity where "...sufferers experience a hardening of the skin and firmness of all joints until ultimately the body is transformed into a plastic hollow shell. It is a disease of the mind that ultimately affects the person's whole being and community."

Cedrus... i don't think it's a pro-republican piece, but a spotlight on how MEDIA (in the U.S.) prioritize news... The DNC gets majority of air time while news of other world changing events get pushed aside.

By the way, what country are you from Global pulse??? I am convinced that most backers of the GOP (ie FOx from Australia) are not from the USA. Are you from UAE??

Another GOP spun video. Who is paying for this one, big oil or Blackwater??
