The way the media has circled its wagons around Obama/Wright is simply unbelievable. A year ago I would have said that the MSM would have been afraid to demonstate such open bias...but here it is.

There’s not even a pretense of objectivity in the mainstream press anymore, the big networks, the NYTs, WaPo, and CNN are carrying water for the Obama campaign.

This is a new low.

Sorry, kjo, but this is the same-old same-old... The MSM has been this way for YEARS -- just this year it's gotten a bit more complicated. Between Billery and Obama it's like Solomon's baby all over again: and it looks like they're going to slice this baby in half. Maybe this will mark the start of the media taking a good hard look at itself and recognizing how over-the-top they've become.

To quote a recent newsmaker: "Mainstream Media: your chickens have come home to roost!"

Yes, the MSM is definitely feeling a thrill run up its collective leg. This is a mass hallucination which may work in our favor. Their Obama-love is totally unconditional and totally blind, as evidenced by their treatment of Wright as no big deal (so what if our nominee’s major influence is a deranged racist crackpot.) They are also totally out of touch with mainstream voters and if sanity ultimately prevails, they will be in deep shock upon hearing the election results in November.

The MSM can spin all it wants. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. The true verdict will be rendered on April 22 in PA and IN. If Obama suffers a sharp drop at the polls, panic will set in at the DNC and the MSM along with the Obama camp.

Makes sense. They've been convincingly outed by the new media over the last several years. Their tactics will still work on large numbers of people to some degree or another.

Meanwhile, I wouldn't want my car to be parked on the street in Denver come the DEM convention. I think that scene is gonna be car-flippin' crazy.

It’s been this bad for a while now. In 2000 they refused to tell the obvious truth, that Gore was trying to steal it through multiple recounts and lawsuits. And there was the last minute Bush DWI story. And Look how freakin low they went for Kerry with the fake NG documents and endless other dirty tricks.
