Wow, Obama girl critizes Clinton? Really? How the hell did that happen?

But on a more serious(or not) note, Obama is gonna get alot of votes from Obama girl. She’s pretty damn hot.

First thoughts on this video? This is pretty effective propaganda, the video might as well have been 3 minutes of Microsoft Sam saying “VoteObamamVoteObamaVoteObama….”. In the whole video it was just “Vote Obama” in various different reincarnations, it wouldn’t be as bad, if it weren’t for the fact that none of the claims are substantiated. Actually I was a bit hesitant in calling it propaganda before. I change my mind, this s*** is propaganda.

In the video, and various other videos on the Barely Political site, it points at various television networks and shouts “biased!“. What the hell? What is Barely Political if not biased? Barely Poltical is biased on a level that no news service (except maybe fox) is, it only avoids backlash because it makes itself to be a light hearted comedy site. Which it is, but it’s comedy that’s manipulating people’s opinions through positive associations with the candidate it supports, not through reason as political coverage should be. If you look at the dynamics of the site, the traffic and popularity it has, is built supporting Obama, so if you think about it, if they want to keep the popularity and traffic(and the revenue they gain from the traffic), they have to more or less present pro-Obama views. Imagine if they were to start supporting Clinton, I doubt they’d get as much traffic, and the scantily clad women would create conflict with the pro-feminist part of Clinton’s campaign. It raises the possibility that Barely Political support Obama, simply because they want to retain their traffic/popularity. (more…)
