Media Begins its Attacks on Obama with "Cult" Label

CNN this weekend ran a story that would have been at home on Fox "News", it was so full of propaganda. While discussing Obama's strong followers who embrace his calls for change, the words "cult" and "creepy" were used repeatedly. "Passion + politics = cult" was one of their lines. It was a strict attempt at character assassination.

The Icky Truth: It doesn't take a genius to understand why the media may be turning on Barack Obama. As we've shown before, the media is owned by companies that are in the business of making money from war, have direct connections to our military, and even more so, have a long history of using lobbyists to get their way (see the above link for an example of Viacom getting John McCain to do their dirty work).

Obama keeps saying he will change how the lobbyists are allowed to operate, including not allowing any lobbyists in his administration. That's a far cry from President Bush, who, at last count in 2004 had assigned over 100 lobbyists to run almost every major department that has oversight over corporations.

So the real Icky Truth is that after watching Obama-mania start to take over, the media has realized he is a genuine threat to their way of doing business.
