Why does the MSM keep reporting that Pres. Obama's popularity is falling?

[AndrewP]

I admit to not keeping a running total on polls concerning this issue. But this morning on ABC there was a reporter stating that President Obama was losing popularity in the polls.

Now considering I've been hearing this for the past year, over and over and over, if he was indeed falling constantly wouldn't he be at zero percent by now?

Are we dealing with a talking point, or just laziness in the media?

1. they are sort`a like a 7 grader who did`t research his report

so they had to make something up.

2. I wouldn't call it laziness

What media is also invested in is much of the things Obama is trying to iron out - wall street greed and corruption for one. And all manner of making money the lazy way in huge bundles, by fraud and lies and tax evasion with overseas accounts etc.

The same media that cheered on the Iraq war has interests in war machines so what will their message be to us so they keep that cash piling up?

I have to laugh out loud, really loud, when Americans (both individuals and media) criticize Chavez for corruption and all the things the US is involved in by 100 times plus.

3. They're hoping for the proverbial "self fulfilled prophecy". n/t

4. Wishful thinking nt

5. They hope that if they say it enough times that it will become true.

Similar to the their predicted Republican "tsunami" in this year's election.

6. Well, who owns the MSM?

Hint: they're elites but they ain't what most would call liberal.

7. Apparently if you're horizontal, you're falling

They should be kicked for saying such things, but apparently creating narratives is their prerogative.

8. For the same reason they falsely claim we are a "center-right" nation.

Its total BS. But if you repeat it enough, people who don't pay attention will start to believe it.

9. Because lying is the only strong suit the GOP has...

And...the same capitalistofascist gangsters who own the GOP also owns about 99.99% of the MSM.

I think Rupert is even thinking of buying Mad Magazine.
