Howie Kurtz at WaPo warns that the media is really getting mad at the McCain-Palin campaign. Indignant reporters accuse them of playing politics and spinning. How dare they! No campaign has ever done that before.
I read this and thought, this is news? Of course the press is upset; McCain-Palin threatens to bring down their chosen candidate. Here's a breathless excerpt from Howie's article:
News outlets are increasingly challenging false or questionable claims by the McCain campaign, whether it's the ad accusing Obama of supporting sex-ed for kindergartners (the Illinois legislation clearly describes "age-appropriate" programs) or Palin's repeated boast that she stopped the Bridge to Nowhere (after she had supported it, and after Congress had effectively killed the specific earmark).Wow. He reports news and defends his hero Obama all in one breath. What talent.
Meanwhile, no one calls the Obama campaign on it when they take an obvious McCain joke about being rich and turn it into a dishonest attack ad.
We heard nothing from these Guardians of Truth about Obama praising China's infrastructure, saying it is "vastly superior to ours." It was an ignorant and provably untrue statement, but the Obama-infatuated press said nothing. You can find Mr. Obama's statement on YouTube, but not by searching on-line news articles.
Mac's not their buddy anymore because he's no longer the inoffensive moderate they can praise as he goes down in noble defeat to The Messiah.
So Howie, Joe, and the rest of the ink-stained liberals disguised as the press... Get mad! Get outraged!
Get bent. Take your haughty, impotent anger and stuff it!
Your credibility is shot. Nobody believes you anymore...
To paraphrase Bob Dylan "we're beyond your command, the times they are a changin'!"
Liberals are whining because they are finally getting a taste of their own medicine.

What a surprise—yet another scoop from that waterboy of the MSM, Howie Kurtz.
It seems that just about every news outlet has dropped any pretense to objectivity and reports everything severely slanted in favor of Barack Osama. The wording within the reporting, misleading headlines, the twisting of facts and the downright omission of information that would detract from the message they are trying to propagandize for “The One” is becoming more and more prominent each day.
They don’t even bother to try and hide it anymore.
"When they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish."
I think I have a new tagline.
Imagine the consequences: now that our Media Glitterati has turned against the Mac, he can (hopefully) skillfully exploit this as cementing his maverick status:
“The Europeans want Barack Obama. So do the media elites. It’s me and Sarah against them all. Who do you want running Washington?”
Its brilliance lies in its simplicity.
When McCain said he would be willing to stay in Iraq for many years even if it took 100 years, as long as our soldiers don’t get killed or maimed, dems then turned it around and said McCain was willing to be at war for 100 years.
Obama was out there claiming McCain said he’d be willing to wage war in Iraq for 100 years, knowing full well that mcCain talked about staying in Iraq as we’ve done in Japan and Germany. Obama admitted as much when a reporter confronted him about misrepresenting what McCain had said.
“The Europeans want Barack Obama. So do the media elites. It’s me and Sarah against them all. Who do you want running Washington?”
Some of these arrogant self important talking head really, really, really need to get over themselves.
If a European gets on a high horse about this like many do ask them if when they go to the polls for their elections do they care what America thinks or who we want? So why should we care what they think.
