McCain Manipulates the Media

John McCain has successfully manipulated the media into helping him attack Barack Obama. The McCain campaign was insanely jealous of all the favorable media attention that Barack received when he went on his overseas tour. With Barack looking quite presidential they knew they were in trouble. When their complaints about the media attention did not work and their "Obama Love" video fell flat they went back to the drawing board and and asked themselves "What would Karl Rove do?" The answer they came up with: "Use Barack's positives against them, figure out a way to turn this enormous media attention, his presidential profiling and his incredible popularity, into negatives." Picture them all around the table brainstorming and whiteboarding ways to tear Barack down. Then, I imagine, someone had a brilliant idea. "Let's get back at the media while we're doing it to Barack by using them to help us."

From that point on they were on a roll. They just needed the perfect bait to make sure that the press picked up on this "news". And, viola...what better bait than Britany and Paris. Someone pointed out that the press would surely pick up anything associated with Paris or Britany and the gullible public would likely eat it up too. So, the team decided to keep going with their "Barack is a celebrity" campaign and threw in Britany and Paris for good measure...to make sure the press ate it up. And, eat it up they did. Suddenly all the positive press about Barack's overseas visit....gone....and replaced with the negative "celeb" message that McCain and camp wanted out.

Meanwhile back a the McCain camp, they are sitting back proudly, licking their chops and watching their media manipulation take effect...saying nothing, spending nothing---no news, no press releases no new videos. They are calculating the ROI of their success of using Paris and Britany as media bait while plotting their next media manipulation move. But, judging by how the public is eating it up too, I imagine that they have now concluded that not only can the media be manipulated, but the "public is a patsy to be played". So, the McCain maniuplators will without a doubt come back with more of the same. We as a Barack supporters should just fasten our seat belts it is going to be a bumpy ride....but, we will survive this turbulence, arrive safely and the landing will be relatively smooth. Hope and change will prevail...keep the faith.
