Just remember as we go through all this: the mainstream press wants Obama. Period. They put their reputations behind him although they didn’t spend any time researching him or even asking questions they routinely ask of any other candidate. Now he’s astonishingly unpopular and — even with their best efforts to obfuscate — pretty much screwing up daily. But the “big media” must not be shown to be a bunch of partisan hypocrites, so they’ll stand by him till the bitter end. They’ll smear EVERY Republican candidate, of course, but if a Democrat challenged Obama, they’d smear them, too. This is a mainstream media gone crazy, and I think they’d do absolutely anything to prove they were “right” in ‘08.
Journalists are the enemy. End of story.
