State media reports on Obama: we love him!

Written by Joel Johannesen on Friday September 05 2008 at 09:13 AM


I just read this from the state-run media:

...GOP Sen. John McCain is “absentminded” and “terrible” and his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, doesn’t have any appropriate experience.

Sen. Barack Obama, by contrast, is “highly educated” and “eloquent” and would serve the world much better and improve America’s overall situation.

And Sen. Joe Biden is a “very respectable” man with a “good reputation.” ...

I thought I was reading a Canadian state-owned and state-run CBC news media report, but actually it turns out it was an Iranian state owned news media report.

...All this according to an interview broadcast this week on Iranian state-run media.

“[McCain] doesn’t know anything, poor thing. He is terrible. Let me tell you, he’s awful,” stated Mohammad-Ali Fardanesh, a political science professor at Shahid Behshti University, which is an Iranian state-funded school.

You can see the confusion I was having between the state-owned medias of Iran and Canada.  Same quality of sources and everything! 

...“McCain not only has no experience, but doesn’t even know where ‘abroad’ is. The poor guy is very absentminded,” said Fardanesh.

The political science professor, billed by Iranian television as a U.S. expert, then turned his sights on Palin, calling her inexperienced.

“I don’t think her husband knows about her experience either. She doesn’t have any experience,” he said.

Amazing how state-owned (heck—all Canadian) media always rely on state-owned professors for “expert” “analysis”.  And hey maybe the CBC or the CTV will employ him as one of their “experts” on U.S. politics! 

Fardanesh then lavished praise on Obama, stating his election would “improve the situation in America in general.” ... “Mr. Obama’s perspective is more clear. Only yesterday, they transferred control of the Al-Anbar province to the Iraqi government, on the first day of Ramadan. This is something Mr. Obama has been saying.

Huh?

Asked about Biden, Fardanesh called him “a very respectable man. He has a good reputation, and he is respectable and healthy. He has been in the Senate for 36 years, since he was 29. They are more knowledgeable in foreign affairs.”

Turning back to McCain, Fardanesh concluded, “My problem is that McCain is a war hero, a veteran pilot, whose plane crashed in Vietnam and who spent eight and a half years at war.”

I know they say this is a report from the Iranian state media, but I just can’t believe this isn’t the Canadian state media.

    They want Obama so that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can ride him around like “My Little Pony”

    and while on Ahmadinejad I guess compared to him, Biden seems like a “very respectable” man with a “good reputation.” But come on, respectable? Biden?  to who the 3% that voted for him…

    I really, really hope that McCain wins this election, just so I can sit back and watch all these progressives’ heads explode.  The MSM has far less influence than it did even a few years ago.  I feel the tide is turning and the average person is alot smarter and aware than the MSM is banking on.  A Harper majority and a McCain victory, imagine the possibilities.

    It’s always reassuring when you see who Obama’s friends are. Now that’s change we can all believe in. If you think about how the left and their MSM want us to be saddled with this empty suit as a messiah it really says something. The left and the MSM have the same outlook and talking points as the enemies of western civilization. What a coincidence. I’m really not sure why good people do nothing. We all know the rest of the saying. Like John McLame says, we need to stand up. Sarah Palin has.
