NBC's Savidge: 'Isn't Obama A Bit of a Liar' on Oil Money?

Hat tip bigtimer.

Joe Scarborough has estimated that 95% of the elite media will pull the lever for Barack Obama. Even so, evidence continues to mount that the MSM is beginning to view the Dem candidate with a more discerning eye. The latest example comes from an unexpected corner, that occupied by NBC correspondent Martin Savidge. As NewsBusters has reported, on everything from climate change to Jesse Helms to the Jena Six, Savidge has consistently toed the liberal media line.

But on MSNBC this afternoon, interviewing an Obama supporter, Savidge surprisingly suggested that Obama was "a bit of a liar" on the subject of oil industry donations that he and John McCain have accepted.

“bit of a liar” ROFL!!

Isn’t that like being “just a little bit pregnant”???

Glad someone in the MSM is actually noticing Obambi’s deception, but watch out, Mr. Savidge, you are now going to be in trouble with the hordes of left-wing zombie Obamanators.

Not really much chance they will ‘fire’ OB now is there???

Least not till Nov...but I suspect this fool is NOT going to go away. They can drag him in the mud and disgrace him but he will NOT go away...Like the WJC family......

Oops! I should've clarified my post...I meant how long before they fire Savidge...for having the audacity to suggest their man, Obama, was "a bit of a liar". ;)

I detect that the reporters are getting tired of being treated like dirt and only allowed to grovel at the feet of the annointed one?

I've never heard of Savidge before and after this Obama heresy, no one will ever hear from him again.
