My, oh my, but weren’t those fellows from ABC News rude to Barack Obama at this week’s presidential debate.
Nothing but petty, process-oriented questions, asked in a prosecutorial tone, about the Democratic front-runner’s personal associations and his electability. Where was the substance? Where was the balance?
Where indeed. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her aides have been complaining for months about imbalance in news coverage. For the most part, the reaction to her from the political-media commentariat has been: Stop whining.
That’s still a good response now that it is Obama partisans — some of whom are showing up in distressingly inappropriate places — who are doing the whining.
The shower of indignation on Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos over the last few days is the clearest evidence yet that the Clintonites are fundamentally correct in their complaint that she has been flying throughout this campaign into a headwind of media favoritism for Obama.

Nope, Obama's media Holiday has just been confirmed. The vicious attacks on those who dared questioned the Obamassiahi will make anyone others think twice before being tough with Obama.
I figured that the campaign would grind on too long. Clinton and Obama started way too early. Jane and I agreed that they’d run out of political stuff after about a year and then they’d start chewing on each other.
Bet the dumminies don’t start a campaign two years out again. That is, unless they’re just addicted to the applause. (I think I just answered my question.)
The media got tired of Clinton. Then they started beatifying Barry. They’ll get tired of him along about the end of July and start building up McCain. The thought has occurred to me that the media just does it because they have a pygmalion complex.
Anyway, McCain will be in the joy-bird seat from about August until election day. And with any luck at all, the Republicans will recapture the House and regain the Senate.
Agreed. Our media is the worst. Biased, and not very smart. Barry got a free ride for months. Then when the msm realized that they were about to nominate a guy who could easily lose an election that the Dems should win easily, they got buyer’s remorse.
They turned on him by doing the job they should have been doing: vetting.
Still, it looks too late. Barry/McLame it is likely to be. The only thing the media is happy about it that whatever happens they will get a liberal.
The outrageous screeching from Big Media proves once and for all that they aren’t just left-wing, they’re far leftists. Obama is the most far-left candidate ever, and Big Media has its nose so far up his posterior that when he opens his mouth, you can see Olbermann’s mug smiling through his tonsils.
“Is Obama’s Media Holiday Over?”
I hope not. We need barack mcgovern to win and be sealed in as the rat nominee. Then let the shiite storm begin.
