No one observing the coverage of this year's presidential campaign with both eyes open can have much doubt that the media establishment is pulling heavily for the Democratic ticket.

Yep. People have noticed. The liberal press lost all it's credibility this year.
If people want news, there's always Free Republic. Pass it on.

Which is why the media is slowing losing their market share to the point where these "journalists" will shortly be out of work. Oh well, they could probably flip burgers at McDonalds, but they'd have to compete with the illegals.

The Main Stream Press is, actually, the Press-Arm of the DNC and the Kerry-Edwards Campaign. They should be stripped of their press credentials and their broadcasts and publications should be reviewed and governed by the FEC.

I'll hold my breath while I wait for all this to happen. ;) </sarcasem

Scarborough had Tommy Oliphant on for quite a while tonight. Oh, that guy makes my flesh crawl! The skeletal build, the boyish haircut on a deeply middle-aged man, the 40's-style wire-rim glasses, the nancy-boy bow tie. Certainly he is Satan's spawn. Ya just want to slap him silly.

I think really they're all Bush-Haters, not Kerry-Lovers. If the LameStream Press had their candidate, it might be Howard Dean...or Dennis Kook-Niche.

The article is tagged as a "web exclusive" at Boston.com. I guess that means they can take credit for adding some balance without having to bother their regular readers with the pro-Bush viewpoint. Neat trick.

I wonder if Jacoby will get suspended from his job at the Globe again like he was in the fall of 2000?

This article is too revealing!

%%%%%%

Consider the reporting at the Democratic convention. In its latest ``Notable Quotables,'' the MRC serves up more than two dozen fawning quotes from journalists about the brilliance, wonder, and allure of the Democratic team. You can find the complete litany (plus detailed daily reports on the convention coverage) at www.MediaResearch.org, but these examples will give you a flavor of the whole: I was standing next to the young speechwriter who worked with Kerry on this speech. . . . The look on his face: rhapsody throughout. I don't know how this was perceived at home. But here in the Massachusetts delegation, where I was standing, it was perceived very well. - ABC's Dan Harris, following John Kerry's speech to the Democratic convention.

People who served with him in Vietnam said, You can't believe what he's like in battle. He just changes. He gets this look over him. And when I saw him walking down the aisle tonight on the way into the speech, I said, `Oh yeah, there's that look.' And I just knew at that point that he's going to nail this, and he did. I have never seen the man speak so well. - Time magazine's Joe Klein on CNN.

John Kerry working himself literally into a sweat. Or as my high school English teacher would prefer, into a high state of perspiration. An almost literal thunder inside the hall, shaking the Fleet Center in a way that it seldom shakes, if ever, even during a Celtics basketball playoff game or a Bruins hockey playoff game. These Democrats, as the speech built, having what amounted to maybe a three-thousand-gallon attack about every three minutes, united in a way the Democratic Party has not been for about half a century. - CBS anchor Dan Rather.

For those who doubted John Kerry could pull off a stirring speech, doubts dispelled. For those who doubted John Kerry could unite a traditionally fractious party, doubts dispelled. - ABC's Charles Gibson on ``Good Morning America.''

---snip---

People talk about John Edwards being the sexiest politician in America. I think Teresa Heinz may be the sexiest spouse of a national candidate in my memory. She comes across pretty strong, soulful, tender even, in a way. So I think she had an effective performance. - Wall Street Journal reporter John Harwood on CNN.

Don't expect next week's Republican convention in New York to inspire similarly starry-eyed adulation. As Newsweek's editor concedes, the media want Kerry to win. To be sure, most journalists are professionals who take seriously their obligation to be accurate and fair. But what is true for most people is true for journalists, too: When you want something badly enough, it shows.
