NEWS BULLETIN FOR THE NEWS INDUSTRY: CLINTON WON INDIANA,
OBAMA HAD A DISAPPOINTING FINISH
SPECIAL REPORT ON MEDIA YELLOW JOURNALISM BY THE CREATIVE YOUTH NEWS TEAM

May 8, 2008

The TV news media is continuing to spin Hillary Clinton's victory in Indiana as a loss.  Two weeks prior to her victory, polls showed Barack Obama easily winning Indiana, the state in the backyard of his home state.  The turnaround from Obama to Clinton was evidence that Clinton has momentum in this race and that Obama's support is weak.

Clinton's  win was in spite of the disenfranchisements of significant numbers within  Indiana demographics that supported Clinton.  Elderly citizens, whom polls showed supporting Clinton by a wide margin, were not allowed to vote if they had surrendered their driver's licenses.  Memo to seniors: keep driving so you can vote.  Missouri is working to amend its constitution to exclude you.

The mass media news bias towards Obama is not subtle.  It is extreme and obvious.  Research has shown that the TV news networks are owned by a small number of Republican corporations.  This means the Republican corporations are using  millions, possibly billions, of dollars worth of airtime to promote Obama.  Why?
