Hot right now -- we were we were gonna talk -- -- with you now.
And we're talking more about the media and the way that the media perceives the -- the president panel also how to meet it -- This election will be very interesting and and there is a lot of bias out there but you have -- -- fox -- -- thank you addressed this specifically how to channel commitment.
Fox poll shows -- demo -- of most members of the media who want to see when the election Obama 58 Romney 21.
And -- thirteen which.
By the way has a curious -- -- it -- 90%.
So at 8%.
Enhancing here's some so you know c'mon -- let's explain where the -- would it maybe the present very Gary Johnson -- I don't know I don't know.
However that the basic idea that the media are rooting for the democratic incumbent this in this case Barack Obama and including previous cases every other democratic president I think is pretty well.
Set all the data from holes in senator -- in the public interest on show.
About a four to one split 888020.
And that's just in the most recent.
Example I -- think on this was Wisconsin recall election of this of the Scott Walker vote last week where -- -- or at least it how willingly incorrect exit poll after whom the voters are supporting -- -- -- so you're voting for Scott Walker.
But you're also voting for Obama in November and so at a -- -- polls also show that that that as a 5050 race so there's an exit poll that showed.
A 5050 race -- walker.
Also showed Obama winning now.
Obviously -- -- 5050 part hundreds of Barrett -- vs walker was incorrect them -- -- -- more like 5347.
So -- -- six points on which you're try to exit -- not a small number.
But even after that the exit polls discredited Bahrain showing how -- been wrong in the Wisconsin gubernatorial race they kept at it.
By saying we'll see the exit -- show that Obama wins and so -- O'Donnell MSNBC which admittedly is not the mainstream media doesn't have -- way over the left.
So this is good news for Obama has -- now we know that he's ahead by ten points in was how well we don't know anything.
It is is a case where you incorrect factoid.
Was.
Prove -- incorrect and that and the media didn't care they continue to touted saying even though walker one.
In fact there's good news for Obama that is a silver lining that the exit -- she's so she's had it went something -- discredited you ought not to use it didn't keep opening it now my bias.
Well here's here's here's an interesting point the president as I mentioned earlier does hold a lot of these news conferences when he holds his news conference is the way it works really is that the 24 hour cable networks which are.
Fox CNN MS NB CR are waiting and so we have our -- in the chair and they're being told we're gonna take President Obama at 10:15.
Eastern time.
President Obama is never on time so what we do is we -- acres tap dancing for a good.
Forty minutes or so okay today.
I was -- to dual level to which would mean -- cut into all the fox affiliates in the country that choose to take the news conference.
But he's thinking he's getting forty minutes of chit chat airtime which is sort of a -- a -- well.
Before it gets on the air every single network was on it.
It's interesting though that he gets so much -- time and the people it's almost like the president does that the White House does this on purpose.
All right well maybe way to AF LB I think his company does to build up its -- excitement and the match you know I mean at every reporters that they're talking about President Obama -- president however however is a counter to that.
Probably compete with -- well as well -- is on TV every day.
What I want Hillary camp in 1988 dollars on TV every day and there was only not as much Obama there wasn't cable news like there was -- -- right but but he was certainly the president and the anti Iran hostage -- whatever.
He felt like it you could say was a major breaking story the Iran hostage situation -- in the crisis there I -- that that warranted right and evening -- -- and Carter would.
Any time that Carter had one little piece of negotiation with some -- in bright orange version it would become the -- news or use totally dominated and using every hour.
A blogger named Richard rush field.
California and -- -- point -- said.
Have you noticed that when you get a lot of attention these days in the media you're popular -- goes down.
Yeah he says it NC is that you know when when Romney was and have.
Getting all the attention he was down and now Obama's getting all the attention he's down -- -- maybe something has changed in the media dynamic where.
Twitter especially.
It's like you know as you said in -- in his -- Hundred million Macs all fighting actually yeah maybe eight maybe you know this much exposure and actually negative because even if there is such thing is over exposure and man Twitter and FaceBook are not my concern doing it chewing on.
The popularity of these that these people and -- it if so.
Then the Obama strategy of filling up an extra 45 minutes of reporters and.
I don't think it might we might have amnesia -- I understand it I think I think it's actually doing them harm can it be because when I was growing up remember the when the president would address the nation.
Everybody sat down and -- televisions and they were glued but he's gone so much that I feel like if you hear that the president's holding news -- you just assume it's a big deal.
And he'll do -- Twitter account our guys and our.
IO here's another perspective on this and runners.
-- if and I've got examined here but.
I'm sure there's been a hundred respond hundred tweets yes.
From.
You know conservative journalists kept saying we don't you know here's a strong this here's it was contradictory -- is -- as whatever whatever whatever.
And that might then turn all his press collapses into sort of -- negative -- Yeah yeah.
Are -- -- thank you very much for coming on your vice nationals on the panel as well thank you very much good to see you have a great weekend as he.
