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

Or maybe it’s an “Obama was here” poster.

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

If that actually happened, the time lapse was less than 30 seconds.

There has got to be some alternate universe these media types inhabit to make a statement such as this one.

I'd like to know where the door to that universe is -- where just by saying something didn't happen, you can alter history, salvage whatever's left of might possibly be called a conscience, and blame everyone but yourself -- as Friedman does -- for the Obama "adulation express," while still being "thrilled that he won the election."

Oh please....

The Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms didn’t work their rear-ends off to get their socialist elected only to dump on him after he takes office. Their entire focus for the next four years will be to justify their hard work in getting 0bama elected, and to assure his re-election. Period.

And after he’s gone, they will spin like a top to puff up the steaming pantload’s “legacy”.

This author needs to get real.

There is no doubt the MSM were shameful during the primary and election. To try to distance themselves now is too little, too late.

The thing I don’t understand is why did they become shills for Barry? What is in it for them?

Palin “could do no wrong in the medias eyes.” Evidently Jon Friedman was watching a different media coverage of Sarah Palin. The contempt these people have for the intellect of the public is breathtaking. And the crocodile tears they are shedding, hoping to regain some portion of their lost credibility is more a display of humor than remorse. Bill Clinton was the most corrupt individual to ever occupy the White House. Obama has a splendid chance of breaking that record. And rest assured, the reading/viewing public will be treated to little more than administration talking points throughout his reign. Zeig heil, er, that is Hail to the Chief.

Yes, I'm thrilled that he won the election, underscoring the American ideal that we live in a foreword-thinking democracy, where any man or woman can rise to the highest office in the land.

Liar. The entire nation saw how the media treated women who ran for office. It was anything but the American ideal.

Amen. They never had one kind think to say about Palin, not one! They hated her hair, her clothes, her posture, her speech, her daughters,and most especially her pregnant daughter, her son who they believed Palin should have murdered. No, not one thing did they say or do that was complimentary and 99% of what they said were outright lies. And now they want people to believe they liked her “at first”. They must think all people are idiots or Democrats!

For some reason it always makes me think of the hood ornaments of old.

Wait until Hillary outshines the O-child in a crisis and the feminist meme shifts to “we should have elected the woman.” The media will be at war with itself.

Does anyone remember that phase? It seems to me she was nominated on a Friday and by Saturday they were spreading rumors about Trig not being her child, of his being Bristol’s, and about her belonging to a seccesionist party ? Is my memory failing me ?

Actually it is not, and there is no remorse here. They are trying to salvage their now defunct credibility, saying “look, we aren’t in the tank for Obama.” They can do this now when it no longer matters. Screw ‘em.

How does one pretend to be objective, much less FAKE being objective...when one says, "It is my JOB to make sure this President is successful"...?

Personally, I don't think most of them give a damn about what WE, the PEOPLE think about them as long as they get their liberal views accomplished.

Yes, I remember. I was watching it unfold that early Sat morning on a lefty blog. They were referring to an Alaska Daily News article writtern earlier this year that was reporting how Gov Palin didn’t tell certain people about her pregnancy and how she hid it so well. I remember the lefty blog said, “Doesn’t matter if it’s true, just get it out there”.

This is to be expected. There’s always a little feeling of a letdown shortly after the festivities that lead to an Obasm.

Yeah, the kind of letdown a person experiences when they discover they have been in bed with a person who has syphilis.
