Electoral victories of Democrats is a matter the media elites take immensely personal. Bill Clinton’s victory in ’92 was seen as their victory, the ascension to power of all children of the 60s (although Clinton is more conservative than they are, we must bear in mind that perception always trumps reality when it comes to the whimsical allegiances of superficial media elites) . Their fierce allegiance has now transferred to their replacement hero, Obama, who is far more radical than Clinton ever was and who may be even more radical than the media elites are themselves.
So it’s understandable that they’re personally upset. What’s not excusable is that they’ve, in effect, walked off the job. They’re refusing to report and have instead assumed the role of attack dogs for their campaign of choice. Yes, they’ve favored, lied and manipulated the news for years, many times in very inexcusable ways. But they never campaigned as overtly for or against a campaign as they are now. They’ve never been so full of bile as they are today. They’ve never acted as outrageously and been so openly spiteful as they are with their anti-Palin, pro-Obama crusade. And in the process, they’ve thrown their integrity straight out the window.
Joining their ranks is the once respected Charlie Gibson. He’s done similar things before and his biases are very much a reality. But the sad thing is not that he was never as overtly biased as he is now, as is the case with the rest of the media. The truly sad part is that the level of nastiness and hypocrisy displayed by him is uncharacteristic and is a blemish on an otherwise fairly decent career (as decent as one can expect from one in today’s mass media).

Come on, does anybody really take these guys seriously anymore? Okay, the liberal choir; who cares?
yeah like he’s the only one
how about if your in news media you are a disgrace that should over it all
Dan Rather met his fake Bush memo Waterloo. Now Charlie Gibson has flushed his own reputation down the loo, too.
We have a winner !!!!!!!
Excellent !!!!
There are people who aren’t net savvy that watch these programs for info. My landlord is one. He’s a Polish immigrant. Getting lots of complaints worry’s newsies. Remember what happened to Chrissy and Olberman.
LOL!!!
I went to the abc site to register my objections. Only took a minute, everybody should. Make them sweat.
Dan Rather was at the other end of Charlie’s earpiece.
Nice when things backfire on libs, ain’t it?
Why can’t it just be understood that common people are like fingernails on a chalkboard to Charlie. As we say in the south, “Bless his heart”, he is just too elite and grand to be subjected to interviewing a real candidate.
for years it seemed Ole Charlie was the cleanest prostitute on Media Street. Now he’s just as dirty as the rest of them.
Gibson is a third-stringer who only got his job because one guy died and the next guy got blown up. It’s like a bad movie where several of the basketball team’s star players get hurt and the coach looks down to the end of the bench and the only player he has left is the dweeb with the towels. In the movie, the dweeb hits a buzzer-beating three-pointer.
In Gibson’s case, he slipped on snot and fell flat on his pudgy face.
If Obama is elected, this will backfire on them. Obama wants full censorship of the press, there is no doubt of that. All his statements about what should be fair about him, his family, even others at times, point to that fact. Obama believes in the therory: "Control the press and you control the country." (Wonder whose idea that was, long ago? LOL) Obama will make sure the press reports only what he wants to be said about Obama or his administration. He will sweep over the blind sheeple in the media and, before they know it, their "freedom of speech" will be denied to them. They are just too stupid to realize the extent to which they will be censored if Obama is POTUS.
I just e-mailed him
Dear Charlie,
Great job on the Palin interview.... GO OBAMA. Yeah!!! Now we can get even with whitey.... yeah, baby...!!!!
Go OBAMA
Go Obama.... get whitey....burn baby, burn.
We’ll get even with all them rich, white folk now....
If Biden makes it that long.
Note to Biden: Please plagiarize Charlie Gibson’s interview. You can blame it on Neil Kinnock. Also, where lots of lipstick to prove Obama’s point (that you can even put it on a p’Biden).
Well said. I didn’t look at This Week and instead subjected myself to Deface da Nation. Scheiffer was actually decent today. Maybe he knows to play to the conservative viewers who were sickened by ABC (would bet ABC ratings are down out of disgust).
I did throw the fridge and the kitchen sink straight into the TV set when Debbie Tiresome-Schultz went on, but that’s another story. Why don’t we play her speeches to the folks in Gitmo? They’d be singing like birds.
Well done, Yomin! Isn’t it interesting how the media have made themselves an issue in this election cycle? It’s almost as if they need to feed their demon egos regardless of the dem candidate. One wonders how the Rodham rodent must feel knowing the media has so completely tanked for the almost black messiah by disregarding his past in favor of attacking the life of a woman only situated in the veep slot for the Republicans! I’ve taken to referring to Gibson as ‘Charlie-tuna Gibson’ but he’s more a stinking fish than ol’ TV Charlie who could not rise to the level of ‘star’ kissed.
