Obama Hints He Sees Imbalance in the Way the Press Covers McCain
ABC News ^
Posted on 05/19/2008 8:53:43 AM PDT by indcons
ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., offered up a criticism of the press' coverage of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, during a town hall with seniors in Gresham, Ore., today.
Obama, hoping to soon become the Democratic presidential nominee, was asked in a town hall why McCain, the junior senator of Arizona, doesn’t get "tough questions" when he has things like the Keating Five savings and loan scandal in his past. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/us/politics/21mccain.html
Obama chalked it up to the Republican side of the race being settled earlier than the still-ongoing Democratic side and the fact that McCain was at one point counted out of the race.
"I actually think that part of it has to do with the fact that they wrapped up their nomination fairly early," Obama said, "Sen. McCain, you recall, had been written off as not being viable about half way through last year, and he came back. ... During that period people were not paying close attention to his record."

Filed under "News/Activism," "Politics," and "Political Humor" for obvious reasons.
Fact is, Hussein - the media has swept the story of your endorsement by Hamas, FARC, and Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade under the table. The limited focus, so far, has been on Bill Ayers and not on your Islamic sympathies (or worse).

The imbalance is in the fact that the so-called news media refuses to examine Obama critically.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, once a day if it is a digital. barack mcgovern thinks he can stamp his foot and make all criticism illegal.

It’s not exactly the lack of tough questions from the media that Obama is decrying, it’s the tough questions that would have come from an opponent,that would have been asked if the Democrats had picked McCain for the Republican nominee.
