OBAMA SAYS MEDIA IS GIVING McCAIN A FREE PASS
Predictably, MSNBC agrees….
Why wouldn’t MSNBC agree—it’s not like Keith Olbermann doesn’t bash McCain nightly, in his #3 countdown item…typically referencing John Hagee….while at the same time having Rachel Maddow, Richard Wolffe, Howard Fineman, and Eugene Robinson tell the viewers how the Rev Wright story is no longer an issue………..Or it’s not like Chris Matthews (while obama chill is running up his leg) doesn’t question McCain’s age several times weekly……..or let Obama, or Howard Dean, go unchallenged on the dishonest “100 year war” commercial of Moveon.org.
Interesting, and convenient, theory by Obama.
Does anyone remember the NY Times smear piece against McCain a few months ago?….you know the article where the NYT implied, based on “anonymous sources” that there may be an implication that McCain maybe had an unsavory relationship with a female lobbyist, maybe…..the article was released a few days after McCain shored up the nomination……here it is:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/us/politics/21mccain.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
I wonder if the New York Times will use such scrutiny to closely examine, and detail, Obama’s relationships with: Antoin Rezko, Nadhhami Auchi, Odinga, Rashid Khalid, Bill Ayers, Allison Davis, Mayor Richard Daley, Cook County President Todd Stroeger Jr., or his own half-brother Roy Obama…..my guess, probably not…….
Unlike the unfounded McCain article, all of the relationships, listed, are verifiable by non-anonymous sources……this type of real journalism is not acceptable at the times…….in fact, it’s probably viewed as racist.
Is it any wonder that MSNBC and the New York Times have just teamed up for a new political show:

I’m sure this show will continue to give McCain a “free pass”, while continuing to ask Obama the “tough questions”…….

If only you could post anything remotely intelligent, this could be interesting. But you have nothing to support your argument rather than the typical attack the liberals argument.

Joe,
1. I am liberal-that is why I would like our media to be less biased towards one candidate….true liberals have open minds, and like to hear all perspectives..not just one.
2. my article (you know-the unintelligent one) is supported with facts—please point out something, I referenced, that is untrue. Your posting seems to be based on emotion, which you confuse with intelligence.
Based on your lack of tolerance for dissenting point of views, feelings of intellectual superiority, and emotional decision making—you must support Barack Obama.
It is quite interesting how so many people who consider themselves intellectually superior (as you apparently do) would support a candidate without doing any due-diligence on the candidate. I would challenge you to point to specific examples of CHANGE in Chicago, that were brought on by Barack Obama. I would challenge you to find times where Obama stood up to the status quo of the Chicago Pollitical Machine. I would challenge you to point specific neighborhoods in Chicago that have been changed by Barack Obama……I’m waiting….and so is the City of Chicago.

Joe,
Your comment is one of the most unintelligent comments I have ever seen. Back it up with facts or don’t you have any?
