Media Bias Roundup - 06/09/08
Jun 9th, 2008 by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
I feel this way already today… 
Exposing the stupendous hype over Obama at Brutally Honest: All Obasms all the time. And Rick posts a thoughtful suggestion: I suggest balancing the ticket…
Bookworm may be onto something here as well: Obama’s New Love for Lapel Pins. Also a tip of the hat to Bookworm for this: Obama: pose poseur.
The Anchoress points us to this great piece at Pajama’s Media: Obama the Trophy Wife. All I can say is hell hath no fury folks and she’s not done yet… You watch, Hillary will get something big out of this.
The Democracy Project comes up with a great idea as well: McCain Should Invite Obama To Hike Across Grand Canyon.
Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs rocks again with this: Searching Obama’s Site for ‘Jewish Lobby’. And At the Official Obama Site: ‘How the Jewish Lobby Works’. Obama, you can dance and dodge but you can’t hide… Changing true colors…
More on this topic from the Bookworm Room: Barack Obama’s antisemitic buddies *UPDATED*.
And my favorite title for today comes from Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee: Vote for Obama, You Bunch of Knuckle-Dragging, Bible-Thumping, Gun-Toting Racists. Nuance…
And for those of you following the goings on at the Spokesman Review and RBT: UPDATE: Hey did I get “libeled” by Smith in print via the Ombudsman Tallent in today’s S-R?
Now the media starts to come clean - a little too little, a lot too late… From The Anchoress: WaPo: Bush “substantiated by intelligence” - UPDATED. Now that I suspect that h-ll has begun to freeze over, Brutally Honest also has a post on this: “Substantiated by intelligence information”.
Taking this topic further, from Steve Schippert at The Tank: Shopping ‘Crazy’ On Iraq Success. Key excerpt:
ABC News has a rather lengthy article on its site that asks a rather dumbfounding question. The headline: “How Will Good News in Iraq Impact Obama Vs. McCain?”
The answer requires little intellectual lifting or analysis. ABC editors and producers have already answered the question with their actions — a drop in prominence in Iraq coverage since the situation undeniably turned around.
Great article - stunning insight… I’m not the only one amazed with this revelation at WaPo, Bookworm Room has this: WaPo editor finally figures out that the Left lied, not Bush.
