Remorse my (_|_)

They’re just rubbing our faces in it now.

[rocksblues]

Bull!

I was screaming at the screen when I read the part about Sarah's honeymoon with the media.

[edzo4]

BS the media liked Plain at first, MSNBC was running ‘troopergate’ hit pieces THE DAY she was named.

[Pharmboy]

Yep...I was about to call him out on the same thing. Right from the getgo the MSM were UNRELENTING in the attacks on her: no experience (but B. Hussein, of course, was experienced), just a small-town mayor (ignoring her governorship), Alaska is a small state, she only went to Idaho State or somesuch college, and on and on.

What they did to her only highlighted what they din NOT do to B. Hussein...

As I've always told my children: journalists are much worse than politicians. At least politicians are what they are, but journalists tell you that they have "revealed truth" on their side.

[Ulysse]

That’s not a mistake but a FAULT against FREEDOM,FREE SPEECH,against honesty, against american people,against USA and the world...
MSM must now try to put it right....But the harm is already done

[GVnana]

When McCain first nominated her, she could do no wrong in the media's eyes

Excuse me? Who does this writer think he's fooling? (Is this a feeble attempt to throw a bone to the other 46% of this country?)

[freekitty]

True; but it’s also a load of hogwash. They are just preparing the people that voted for Obama of some problems to expect them; while ignoring the fact; his being elected is anything but going forward. If truth be told Obama should have never been on the ballot in the first place. His sense of entitlement for nothing and pandering this to the public is irrational. There is no sense of worthiness in this line of thinking.

...American ideal that we live in a foreword-thinking democracy....

Sheesh...spell check might be working, but the copy editors went to sleep.

It was always “forward” when I went to school.... can't any of them get it right... but it is CBS, so being accurate doesn't matter....

[Western Phil]

“It's inevitable. Look at what happened to Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate.

When McCain first nominated her, she could do no wrong in the media's eyes.”

That's why they sent 30 “investigative reporters” to Alaska to dig up some dirt.

[HighlyOpinionated]

I am not at home, so can't post over on CBS news on-line, but I think the media must vet Obama in order to maintain a modicum of respectability. A tiny modicum.

[boxer21]

Right! What they couldn’t find digging in garbage cans they made up as they went along. Olbermann reported the news about Sarah Palin by reading left-wing blogs on air.

Whatever in the world Friedman is smoking, PLEASE LORD, save some for me!!!

[Free_SJersey]

It's inevitable, too, that Obama will eventually have his turn under the microscope

The time for this was eighteen or twenty months ago. This whole article was filled with revisionist history.

Chalk it up to a phenomenon I'd like to call "Obama-remorse." You know how you feel buyer's remorse after you've spent a lot of dough on some big-ticket item, only to realize that you might have made a mistake? Well, it's going to happen to the president-elect as well.

Hey MSM: Guess what?! You still have time to get a refund on your purchase -- the Electors haven't cast their votes yet, and there are 2 cases (really 3) at the Supreme Court that may yet keep Obama out of the White House!

Educate yourself and do some research. Like this:

Obama's "birth certificate" - the Devil's in the details

(Just click thru the "Possible Blogger Terms of Service Violations" -- all new blogs get that notice.)

[oldbrowser]

This was not so much about Obama as it was about the media asserting itself.

They could have just as easily exposed him as a fraud and championed McCain as the selfless patriot.

[DeaconRed]

Well I Declair. . . . . . .

[Gaffer]

No, not BULL! Bullshit is the operative word here.

[SierraWasp]

Here's the headline that MarketWatch.com put on this artickle:"'Obama-remorse' sweeps through the media"

It's the Number 1 read artickle on their site!!!

[Scotswife]

“BULL! The moment Palin was selected, the media pulled out all the stops on her. Typical liberal trying to be objective.”

Exactly.
What planet does this man live on?

[longtermmemmory]

You are correct, the MSM is going to try and pair the post election stories attacking obama as balance for the pre-election stories.

No matter how you slice it, chris mathews still has a “ I heart obama” bumper sticker on his posterior.
