Why hasn't the liberal media put as much effort into investigating Obama's background?

Question

Why hasn't the liberal media put as much effort into investigating Obama's background?

Answer 1

They have. He has spent the last 18+ months in the media spotlight. We know everything.

Answer 2

Trust me, he has been. It's very difficult for some to believe that the "liberal media" hasn't been able to dig up more dirt on him. Seriously, do you think the opponents would be grasping at straws if they had better information to use against him?

Answer 3

They have; and see, you have nothing.

Answer 4

I've heard all kinds of bad things about him. I still think worse of the people who are saying those things than Obama himself.

Answer 5

They did. Obama has been running for office for nearly TWO YEARS. Joe the Liar didn't have much background to find. They debunked his story in about two hours. I don't consider that much effort.

Answer 6

Plain and simple. The mainstream media is far left liberal and have an agenda. They want Obama to be elected and will do anything to make sure that happens.

Answer 7

Spoken like Tito the construction worker



Huh so Obama has been throughly investigated by the media really



How many people know who Frank Marshall Davis or Rashid Khalidi are yeah thought so. do not tell me that the media has gone through Obama like they have with McCain and Palin if you believe that your more naive then the average fool

Answer 8

More than enough effort has been put in by the right-wing media, and the results are either trumped up or made up. Meanwhile, why shouold a tax scofflaw be a campaign prop? People like SAM the Not-Licensed Plumber mean I have to pay more taxes!

Answer 9

I know. I am very disappointed in Fox.

Answer 10

Because they don't want to.

Answer 11

Because the liberal media spends all of their time investigating conservatives.

Answer 12

You've answered your own question. The media didn't put all that much effort into examining Joe the Plumber. What they found took a few days at best. Obama has been thoroughly investigated. Just because you wish that there had been something to find doesn't mean that there was anything to find.

Answer 13

Wow...in simple terms wow. If that wasn't meant as a comedian tale by ability of Hannity i'm helpful grinning approximately how humorous it would be if it is what he's genuinely using to objective and get human beings to go removed from Obama as a valid president. i'm no longer using around in a Rolls Royce, genuinely I take public transportation, yet I hate to admit, i like a sort of diverse condiments on my warm canines and hamburgers. i might consume steak or lobster if I had extra funds to blow yet do no longer likely have confidence that could make me a snob in any respect.

Answer 14

Perhaps it's the same reason that they don't investigate McCain's relation to Liddy. Or why he too has connections to ACORN. Or why it is that for a number of years his name was on the letterhead for an anti-semitic group. Or why Palin is married to a man that doesn't want Alaska to be a part of the USA.



Here's the reason, all this crap is a diversion from the real issues. People found out relatively easy that Joe the Plummer is a fraud. Instead of crying about whether or not it is fair, why don't you think about the fact that McCain was using a fake plumber to push public opinion.



Grow up.

Answer 15

Every Presidential candidate is thouroughly investigaed by the FBI as all Senators, Representatives, judges and such right down to the army recruit.



If there was anything in his past worth knowing, we would know by now. And yes, they even investigated his connection with Ayers and found it to be insignificant.

Answer 16

What information about Obama do you not have? It's all out there. We know all about Ayers and ACORN and Rezko and birth certificates and Rev. Wright and Illinois votes about abortion law and everything else.



The problem isn't the media. The "problem" -- from your point of view -- is that people have decided they like and want this guy. Sorry.

Answer 17

Well, let me check the archives of The Nation ( http://www.thenation.com ) and Mother Jones ( http://www.motherjones.com ) to see exactly what the few authentic liberal media have done in this regard. As for the implicit assumption on which your question is based: "Get a f'ing clue!"

Answer 18

THE MAINSTREAM LIBERAL MEDIA HAS BEEN IN THE TANK FOR B. HUSSEIN OBAMA FROM DAY ONE. THIS IS THEIR CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT & WON'T COVER ALL THE SLEAZE CONNECTED TO HIM. THEY HAVE ALSO DONE A WONDERFUL JOB OF CONVINCING PEOPLE THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER. THEY ARE DISGRACEFUL.

Answer 19

We already know that Obama's background should stop him from becoming president, it's not news

Answer 20

to piss off guys like you

Answer 21

Because the media has decided that Obama should be our next President and many Americans are too naive to realize it..

Answer 22

To answer your question;



Because the liberal media knew if the truth came out about Barack Obama's past no one would vote for him. The liberal media must protect its messiah.

Answer 23

I have no sympathy for this yo yo Joe. He flapped his mouth and proved he didn't have a clue. He is a symptom of what's wrong with the America electorate. We let clueless morons vote.



As for the your "liberal media" fantasy....please give it a rest.

Answer 24

DEMOCRAT CONVENIENCE!

Answer 25

They have put lots more effort on Obama. There just isn't much to find. Joe on the other hand is nothing but a liar who thought he would have his 15 minutes and I'll bet he wishes he hadn't.

Answer 26

They did they found nothing like the republicans but the republicans love demagogy.
