    Default Media misses half the equation.

    In the law, with a personal injury lawsuit there are two basic requirements to get an award. They are:

    1) That someone was negligent.

    2) That negligance caused injury to someone.

    Some lawyers get confused and believe that if you get great injury you can overcome for not having negligance or if you have great negligance you can overcome for not having any injury. Not True!

    The media has done this with the Obama - Wright mess. Wright is a rotten apple, no question. The problem is, that does not mean Obama is a rotten apple. They keep trying to make the case that Wright is a bad apple, and somehow the American people are starting to belive that just because Wright is bad... that means Obama is bad!

    WAKE UP AMERICA!

    Yes, we are. That said, I agree with your original post.

    I was sick of it a month ago. I think the timing of Wrights media sweep and "book tour" coupled with his shots back and forth with Obama could not have come at a worse time for Obama.

    The corporations made Wright say what he said?

    As for coverage... of course the media is going to continue covering the front runner for President trading blows with someone.

    1) I am not Damo

    2) It was not diversionary, it was a question/point in response to JARODs post. Had Wright CHOSEN not to go on his media blitz or at least made it about his book and not about trading shots with Obama, then this story would not have been half of what it was. The point was that he had to decide for himself what action he was going to take.

    3) I addressed his position on the media and if you care to offer a dissenting view, feel free.

    NO, the point is not what Wright said. The point is that they are making such a big deal about him saying something. Its like Bush over and over again saying the words 9-11 and Saddam Hussen together in the same sentence over and over and over again.

    Some how some huge number of Americans belived Saddam was responsable for 9-11.

    I guess if they say Wright and Obama over and over again, people will impute the comments of Obama onto Wright.

    Why did they never mention that Bush was partnters with OBL's brother.

    If I said this every time somebody agreed with a lefty, everybody on the board would "sound" like chicken...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
