It just irks me that I can't hear anything bad about Obama unless I listen to Rush Limbaugh and his giant puppet head yammering on about democratic evils. Anyone else feel this way? |
It's not that they're afraid of being racist.
It's just... did you see the ABC Democratic primary debate?
It was basically... an hour and 45 minutes of "Barak OBama scandals" and 15 minutes of "actual issues".
It was the worst run debate i've ever seen and seemed like a delibert attempt to "slow down" Obama so Hillary vs Obama would go on longer and be a better story.
The whole debate was just... sickening.
Since then they've had to be "hands off" to the Obama campaign for a while to wash that image clean. The whole media had to... since the media is usually lumped into one group.
However since they dodn't have to do the same to McCain... and "clean" journalism isn't a ratings grabber... suddenly it's just the repubs who have the bad storries.
