The Listening Post - US media post-Bush - 28 Nov 08

In part two of The Listening Post we look at the media scene in the US post-George Bush. What will it look like in the new Obama political era and what will the Obama presidency mean for aggressively pro-Bush media like Fox News and the Wall Street Journal?

Murdoch will go where the cash goes.

For Obama there are no friends at Fox.

Fox is not and has never been news. Its entertainment for...... You have seen the video of the Palin rally in Ohio right. Fox ratings are falling like Bush.

One day Merdoch will go back down under.

Don't watch Fox. You can get all your news here.

what you need to do is outsource this issue to the saudi conflict resolution management inc. Newest offer "Get a 13 yr old child bomber".

What would be cool is that people not judge the Obama presidency so harshly before it even starts. You might want to at least wait until actually assumes office. Right now the simple guy from Crawford, Texas is still officially in charge until January 20, 2009.

Let's get real. They will keep doing what they do because they still have an audience. They have the power to make and break. That's what they will think even though they're still tabloid news.

Obama is not my opponent....but if he changed anything significant such as the moneytary policy --the root of the problem for most of the worlds problems, he would have more than one bull's eye on him...and he would have never made it into office. It takes more than one person or cabinet to change what has been happening for centuries, & nearly everyone who addressed the real issue sadly didnt live out there term: lincoln, j.garfield, almost A.Jackson, jfk, etc. I really hope Obama does though.

[dankeewolnir4042]

No I appologize to come of that way...I was making a joke about the black widow thing.

However We the majority have been asleep for the for much longer than 8years (including myself) I dont blame bush or any president...Greed runs our the country/world, runs us off to war, runs our economy into the ground....Im not trying to paint anything, that paints itself as far as Im concerned. I would love to hear the profound changes if you mean in a positive light. Seriously I would love to hear that.

Im not a FOX supporter but there is a lot evidence that MSNBC was and still is pro Obama yet the "Liberals" aren't to concerned about that? At least be consistent in you're outrage AlJazeera.

I'm not sure why

After all Rahm Emmanuel is a Federal Reserve executive and x-Israeli soldier!

[sugarpuddin88]

Waxman & Kucinich made a big beef in Congress about impeaching Cheney

Waxman & Kucinich made a big beef in Congress about AIG using tax payer money for parties & pedicures

Waxman & Kucinich makes a big beef about Greenspan

Waxman, Kucinich & Rahm Emanuel doesn't make a difference; and everybody but the American sheeple know it!

America is a socialist country for corporations and Americans are ignorant sheeple who get the Government they deserve!

[FlatulenceFox]

You love to paint your opponents as the ultimate evil don't you.

While we were sleeping for the past 8 years we had some very profound changes anyway. And now we hate ourselves. So why not at least take a try at another direction.
