‹ Media: John Edwards is no Larry Craig •
I have written occasionally about how the large “mainstream” media are in the tank for Obama, with nary a pretense any longer at objectivity. As Rush says, they are the “media wing of the Democratic Party.” It looks like there is a winner in the competition for shallowest puff piece on Obama. Astonishingly, it isn’t Newsweek, though they made a valiant effort. Rolling Stone, too, should get honorable mention, along with Slate and the New York Times. But while there can only be one winner, there are no losers in the effort to join as a propaganda phalanx for Obama (oh, except the American people).
Here is Michael Ramirez’s take on the media’s schoolgirl infatuation with the Beatles Obama.
