Hype: The Obama Effect

This movie from Citizens United has been advertising frequently on cable tv news channels:

From the NY Times:

An independent conservative group went on the air with a new ad on Monday to be followed by a full-length documentary film that attempts to portray Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, as an over-hyped media darling.

The group, Citizens United, which also produced a film earlier this year critical of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, is spending $250,000 to run the ad on Fox News through the end of the week.

The 30-second spot features a mix of conservative voices – former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, the Rev. Joe Watkins, and commentators Tucker Carlson and Dick Morris. They accuse the press of harboring a pro-Obama bias, or as Mr. Carlson puts it in the ad, “The press loves Obama. I mean not just love but sort of like an early teenage crush.”
