Are the mainstream media so easily corrupted by their associations with negativity, that they assume everybody else is the same way?

“Obama turned a bad situation into good. A lesson for us all. And a hint at what we can expect during his presidency–opportunities to transcend and transform the ills of our collective past.”
MLAVORAPERRY, I agree with you 100%. Your perspective is very simple, and logical, and easy to understand, but yet I have not heard a single news agency present your perspective. I also thought of your perspective about a week ago, and I have been trying to explain it to people, but they keep looking at me like I’m crazy. Many people seem to be locked into the binary perspective that you can’t be around negative things over a 20 year period without being corrupted by those negative things. Well, that binary perspective is only logical in reference to a person who is easily influenced by illogical negativity. I think it is rational to assume that a courageous person, such as Barack Obama, would not be negatively influenced by illogical negativity, regardless of the period of time of his association. Why is it so difficult for the mainstream media to arrive at this same assumption? Or at least to consider this perspective? Is it because the mainstream media are so easily corrupted by their associations with negativity, that they assume everybody else is the same way?
I wonder what Greta Van Susteren thinks about this perspective?

    I think its possible to know someone for a long time and not “truly” know them. Look at many married couples who find out 15 years into a marriage that their spouse is actually gay or find out 25 years into a marriage that their spouse was cheating on them. What about people who find out 20 years into a friendship that their closest friend has had bouts of deep jealousy against them. Or find out 15 years into a friendship that their friend is actually bisexual.

    For this reason, it is certainly plausible that Obama didn’t know the depth of the bitterness his Pastor harbors.

    And frankly, who agrees 100% with their Pastor, their friends, their family members or anyone else on the planet? We all have associations with people who we do not agree with 100%. Anyone who claims otherwise is a blatant liar.
