It is not often I read an MSM headline and laugh out loud. This is one of those rare occasions: How Obama Can Win Over The Media? It addresses all the pit-falls he must avoid and offers him suggestions like weekly press conferences, posting his schedule online and not complaining about the press...
At least the Washington Post seems to be capable of self examination. Deborah Howell "But Obama deserved tougher scrutiny than he got, especially of his undergraduate years, his start in Chicago and his relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was convicted this year of influence-peddling in Chicago. The Post did nothing on Obama's acknowledged drug use as a teenager. "
Then Jennifer Rubin chimed in with a slightly different take: "The MSM is confessing. Yes, they were biased. Sure, they favored one side. But they don’t quite come out and say why. Worse, they show no inclination to do anything about it."
Oh, but do not get your hopes up that the old Media will start acting professional, As Reuters proclaims Media bias largely unseen in US presidential race ! Gah...
The big picture is this. The MSM lied by omission and turned tabloid journalism into daily headlines. If you thought that the news would look for truth to provide some kind of check and balance you were sadly mistaken. Luckily we have the New Media.
Where else can you find out that the Fed is hiding something, with the bail-out + spending bill that was ramrodded down our wallets?

Had to leave this with you, Lee, for a laugh. Hope you are doing well.
Sorry, delete that joke, please. I already used the comment on the last blog. I still hope you're doing well, though.
I only have this set up to accept or reject.
Unfortunatly I have some people who feel I must suffer their wrath or something. While thats all fine and well, I have this thing about "colorful metaphors" being overused.
I am doing well thanks, figuring out a new budget, trying to stay optimistic, yadda, yadda, yadda.
The Fed is hiding something? It's only a couple trillion dollars. What's the big deal?
