I found the Joe the Plumber/Obama scene that started the whole media investigation into Joe:

It’s hard to believe the outrage the simple question Joe asked raised such a stink with the media. It could be because Obama’s five minute response was so stupid.
In early 2008 I believe the media transitioned from “liberal partisans” to “integral members of the Obama regime”.
They didn’t even make excuses.
