They are actually coming from Obama supporters, whereas Hillary was charging it HERSELF. So while I actually like the term 'Clintonesque', I don't think it's use is justifiable when talking about Obama. It seems to me that the media is OBSESSED with Obama and this probably leads to him being covered with a fine-toothed comb. They are bored with McCain and therefore, he doesn't make news. <BR/><BR/>However, I don't think it's appropriate to continue letting the MSM desperatly try to make this a closer contest than it actually is. AND, to let every single gaffe made by McCain go uncovered. They aren't unnoticed, the media just doesn't cover them! If they did, the polls would be at about 55% for Obama. Any person with a minimal brain that has been following his candidacy would cringe at the thought of McCain being president and would realize it wouldn't be much of a deviation from Bush's mangling of poise and prose.megannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075821801473541932.post-5303033807233818502008-07-18T19:30:12.416-04:002008-07-18T19:30:12.416-04:00This whole "Obama is a victim of the media" mentality has to go. It's childish and really kind of pathetic. He'll either win or lose and then things can be looked back upon, but this daily whining about the media being against him is very Clinton-esque.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075821801473541932.post-71192734360133816672008-07-18T17:31:34.111-04:002008-07-18T17:31:34.111-04:00NOT to say I'm glad he died but Russert would have been an instrument of bringing Obama down to competitive with McCain. Brokaw is a different ilk; he sees himself as a journalist and journalism has standards. Russert was never a journalist so he wouldn't have any ethical problems with going after one with gotcha questions and giving the other virtually a free ride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075821801473541932.post-38199164304973338422008-07-18T15:57:09.338-04:002008-07-18T15:57:09.338-04:00hate the MSM..HATE...can't they talk<BR/>about Paris HIlton instead?..You are so<BR/>right about this...explains partially..why<BR/>they are tefloning it w/ McCain...Catherine Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12751792848243777130noreply@blogger.com
