One Last Swipe By The MSM

U

nable to turn off their rancor that someone would have the audacity to run against The One, the media spent the day after the election preparing hit pieces on the McCain Campaign.

The NY Times led the pack, sending investigators to cozy up to sources within the campaign so it could balance the glorification of Obama with Internal Battled Divided McCain and Palin Camps. This source speculation made headlines while the story we all know is true - that Biden was so mistrusted by the Obama campaign that they muzzled him - went unreported.

Newsweek decided now was a good time to report further on Palin’s clothing purchases - and one time when she met campaign staffers fresh from a shower in a towel (reported elsewhere as a bathrobe).

CNN chimed in with Sources: McCain Aid Fired for Trashing Staff, in which we learn Randy Scheunemann, a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain, was tanked for “positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCain’s campaign message.”

Isn’t it odd that a foreign policy specialist would side with Palin if, as Fox News (yes Fox News) broadcast Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron saying there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked “a degree of knowledgeability” in world geography.

“Absolutely disgusting,” says Michelle Malkin. Yup. That pretty much sums up the entire Media Bias 2008 experience.

    your post title greatly disturbs me.  please say it isn’t so!  please no!  not the “last swipe”!  we have them on the ropes - usn&wr is going internet-only.  WaPo and NYT revenues tanking.  network news viewership down.  the patient is almost CTD (circling the drain).  don’t stop now.if not you, then who?  (yeah, pun intended on the pathetic PBS campaign from a lifetime ago when we pushed defunding that liberal rats’ nest).

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
