I am so sick of the media mindgames where they tell me the front runner who has won so many primaries is really out of touch with America! If he is out of touch then why is he winning.

Drive-By Media

(uncountable) (US, idiomatic) Mass Media that provides broad or misleading statements in quick succession without context or explanation. Never returning to "Original" stated story /report with unbiased factual information for follow up.
You know what a Drive-By shooting is.

CALLER: Sure.

RUSH: You got a bunch of renegades in a car and they drive into a crowd and they start spraying bullets around and they head on down the highway and make a total mess of things. They ruin some people. They kill some people in the case of Drive-By shootings. Then they head on down the highway and they do it again. Meanwhile, other people have to clean up the mess. The Drive-By Media is the same way. They come in with their cameras and their microphones and their news reporting, and they create an absolute mess. They scare the hell out of people. They literally cause carnage. Their actions sometimes are destructive and ruinous to individuals. They kill the reputations of people, or try to. And then they get in the convertible, they head on down the highway and they find the next group of people to do the same thing to while there are those of us who have to go in and clean up the mess.

These criminals include the convicted murderers of debutante Jennifer Ross, as well as well-known murderer OJ Simpson. Also celebrated in this hate rag is Jacob 7 Ali or Yacub 7 Ali who thinks he is a profit and that black people can and do cause skin cancer in white people simply by staring at them.
If Svengali Media were available in print form, I don't think it would even be fit for lining bird cages. My birds would probably sue me for mental stress if they had to look at and crap on that. I know they would never be able to love again.

trial by media

(n.) In a high-profile case, the media's implication of the guilt of a suspect can greatly affect the outcome. While not fair, this is largely unavoidable, especially when large industries are put on trial for high-school shootings, or a Catholic priest is tried for any sexual crime. Regardless of the "innocent until proven guilty" law in most countries (If not all), the free media's decision to encourage the sheep and liberals will force the decision one way or another.

Media Shower

When a celebrity or a new person gets WAY too much spotlight. This can cause a snobbish side to surface, and their friends or aquaintances to notice them acting differently. Otherwise, this causes the "showered" person to feel shy or be surrounded by people by simply going outside their house, making them annoyed.
