...Obama didn't have top media companies trying to destroy his reputation?

Ok, well, we officially lived in two completely different worlds then because I very clearly remember the ridiculous lengths they took to beat the controversy drum.

Yeah, Obama was just savaged by the media. SNL was PARTICULARLY ruthless. lol

SNL is a comedy show. Now, I know that the news is a joke to you, and that's fine, but I shouldn't have to explain why a TV sketch show most noted for the likes of Wayne's World, The Blues Brothers, and That One Adam Sandler Movie They Made Fifty Times, is allowed to have a political bias.

It's just another example of how the entire media, besides Fox, to an extent, gave Obama an entirely free pass. Which is kind of surprising seeing how he was pretty nasty to those few that didn't lionize him.

So again, ignoring SNL on the grounds that nobody at all gets their news from them, I remember very clearly eight years of all the major news organizations ginning up bunk stories to bump up their ratings for almost no reason at all. Obama had a great deal of difficulty trying to focus the media conversation on topics that were more important than the nonsense stories about him.

If you honestly don't remember that then we really are lost because in the world I lived in, you really couldn't miss it! Not on CNN, not on NBC, not even in The Guardian.

Yes, poor Obama was a total victim XD

I lived through it. And seeing the press now, it just reinforces the easy path Obama was given.

You mean like threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of various outlets for not adulating him or barring journalists from the White House or getting crowds at his rallies to chant against them and call all news except one state tv faux news outlet fake and the enemy? Obama do anyting remotely vaguely even so much as slightly almost resembling that ever?

Well, he did ban Fox reporters and spy on them and their families (At least one) Obama was just lucky because the media was on his side, mostly.

I'd think it's fair to call this current media an enemy to truth.

I wached Fox from the 2nd year of Red Eye (2008) till a couple of years ago when the Obamara obsession was depriving me of strychnine free oxygen, yet I have no recollection of any of that from that hate bubble.
None of the reactionaries on this site have mentioned any such bannings and spying either.

I miss the old Red Eye. Especially the guy from Gwar who was on all the time.

I used to be the greatest. Oderus Urungus was nonstop funny, R.I.P.

I usually don't do links, but since I was tardy with a response....
Fox broadcasted So You Think You Can Dance instead of Obama’s joint address to Congress on health care, and when he didn't drop by for an interview about it that Sunday, they felt offended? Golly.

He called their approach destructive? Is that still a harsh assestment now that ALL the news networks copied Fox New's nonstop negative editorializing approach?

A Fox News reporter was investigated as part of a larger investigation involving possible leaks from a State Department adivisor?

Well that settles it, Obama was a bad man, bad.
Because of the Commie Kenyan's dastardly snubs to Fox, Trump now has my permission to revoke the WH Press Passes of everyone who isn't part of Fox News, and revoke those other network's broadcast licenses as well.

Your selective memory is telling. You're lost if you can't at least admit that the vast majority of msm outlets are firmly entrenched with dem's and the advancement of their causes. It's just dishonest to claim otherwise.

Anita Dunn, Obama WH director of communications said to the NYT about Fox...“As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” “we’re not going to legitimize them as a news organization.”

Josh Ernest, Obama WH spokesman said “This White House has demonstrated our willingness to exclude Fox News from newsmaking interviews, but yesterday we did not.”

Quote from a NYT editorial “With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible ‘co-conspirator’ in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news,”

Obama himself said the "point of view" of Fox News is "ultimately destructive"

Satisfied? Honestly, is this 'remotely' or 'vaguely' similar in your eyes?

So what I said then?

You're surprised Obama (nor anyone who isn't a right wing drone) wasn't a big fan of Faux News and the fake news they spewed about him?

Oh, what, they considered excluding one of them once but didn't?
Shucks, you and I were so close on this one, so close.

Oh, and let's not forget the Trump in the audience popcorn spill incident. Wonder how much he paid them for that 'spontaneous' cringe on max moment.

And I remember dozens of scandals they all ignored to push his not a hint of a scandal narrative.

So do I. You know how I remember? Because they didn't ignore it - they harped on it like a parrot for days.

What you mean is, those scandals didn't go anywhere. And that's not the press' fault. That's what happens when you barrage someone with scandals that have no merit. You don't get defensive with rambling incoherent badly spelled tweets and give orders to do more illegal things - you ride out the media hype, show the relevant people the best defense you have, and if a punishment is inflicted, you soak it up.

But how are you going to tell me that the media didn't talk about those scandals? They wouldn't shut up about them! I remember being so frustrated that they wouldn't. You can't tell me that they ignored it. I was there. It wasn't that long ago. I remember it.

And I remember obama and the rest of the senior dems getting away with insulting the police, praising and arming criminals, ignoring voter fraud, justifying hatred for Americas history, its military and collapsing the markets, neighbors losing jobs, homes while the press covered school children sings Obama songs. I am not doubting you but we watched different things.

No, pal, you do NOT remember any of that because none of it happened.

Your lies need improvement. Even the rest of the echo chamber must be snickering at the cringe. Sheesh.

Nice try, Obama owned the war on police, the billions to isis, iran and other Islamic groups all him. Supporting domestic terrorists was limited to groups that hated conservatives (blm, bamn, antifa, etc) but it was there. The rest is there but your mind is closed, live in your world and worship at the alter of a failed man who used a failed agenda to attack others.

Just a heads up, Vagablonde is the quintessential dumbed down liberal. All's you will get is circular reasoning, and once he starts to realize the debate is getting away from him, he will start with insults meant to be funny but are just word salad peppered with references to genetalia.

False. Obama insulted police when he said the police "acted stupidly" in regards to an arrest of a college professor.

The Obama administration armed Mexican drug cartels. This is a fact. He also funded and armed ISIS.

The news did cover a school, somewhere on the East coast, signing a song that went "Barack Obama mmmhmmmhmmm"

It seems that BurntFinger is correct, you are just wilfully ignorant.

I was asking the other lying moron, but you'll do, being at par with his level of Dunning.

Senior citizen breaking and entering his own house? Yes, they did.

Aww, did the widdle song somewhere over wherever that the kids made on their own hurt your delicate feelings? Perhaps a military parade in Dear Leader's honor will make it up for you?

You seem confused as to who is relying to who. Try scrolling up to see which you and the guy whose bunghole you're cleaning with your tongue are replying to.

So Obama did insult the police but he was right to do it. Your love of moving the goal post has been seen again.

And there was a school singing a song to Obama.

And he did fund and provide weapons to ISIS.

Wow. You managed to negate your own arguments better than I ever could.

ONE criticizism of police overreacting in ONE single incident is NOT a war on ALL police.

ONE song sung by one class is not press covering school kids singing Obama songS.

Obama never funded nor provided weapons to ISIL, that was Saudi Arabia and Turkey's doing.
Obama DID effectively eliminate bin Laden and Al Queda (which Bush never got around to), leaving a vacuum which ISIL (initially created largely out of generals & soldiers from Iraq's former army which Bush simply decomissioned) stepped into.
Obama's planned operations which began in 2014 to route ISIL in Iraq (unofficially utilizing mostly Iranian troops, Iraqi Shiite militias, and Kurdish Peshmerga) was successfully completed in 2017. You might have heard of that one.

Your BurntFingerForge buttsucking skillz suck, though not as you may have intended. You might want to get a hint and keep your mouth shut about what you don't know, a lesson I seared into his gleefully moronic party hack ass long ago, newb.

I see you looked up Iran 1979 and kept your simpering tongue still on that shindig. You might want to do the same with these.

Idiot.
