My, John Roberts has thin skin when it comes to his personal 'integrity', but when (certain) private citizens 'enter the coliseum', then he thinks they're fair game for slimy journalistic cheap shots.

Leftwing media pansy.

Kyrin Chetry does a fine job on CNN. I was sorry to see her leave FOXNEWS because she always did her homework before coming on the set unlike the current people on Fox and Friends with their View like format. She also put a name with that empty face John Roberts.

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it. A private citizen asked a Presidential candidate a question about his policies and pointed out the problem he had with said policies. He did not seek the candidate out - the candidate came to the man’s neighborhood, where he was playing football with his son. And that was it. It was the candidates that brought his name up constantly during the debate because Joe had become a symbol of an American everyman who didn’t want his wealth “spread around.” Joe wasn’t seeking a spotlight.

It was STATE OFFICIALS who were Obigula supporters who combed through Joe’s records and provided information to the media - state officials that have since been fired, suspended or forced to resign for their behavior. So if you can’t find anything wrong with the media conducting an investigation of a private citizen in an attempt to smear his reputation because he dared to question the liberal and sainted Democratic candidate, then good luck the next four years, pal.

The media conducted a deeper investigation on a nondescript plumber in Ohio in 24 hours than the did on a nondescript Presidential candidate in 24 months.

According to the obamedia politics is a Gladiator sport if your a Conservative. If your a Dem you are Coronated. Too bad Joe was being nice, he should have done his homework on this hack.

Joe-the-Plumber did not “enter” the political forum until the Demagogues and Mediascum had already savaged him, investigated him, harassed him..... at first all he did was to ask a question of a political candidate who appeared campaigning at his driveway.

Once Obambi had issued his “spread the wealth” declaration and the Mediascum helped to make JtheP (in)famous then suddenly he was a political celebrity. But he did not set out to enter the political arena or open himself up to the assaults of the Mediascum and the DemocRATS.
