Lol, even the media has little fear in stating something that has become so nauseatingly obvious...

On the Today Show this morning...

"... the media is very susceptible to doing what the Obama campaign wants, which is to focus on this," said Halperin.

Thanks for the crumbs on the trail. I enjoyed the retro clip on file where O'Reilly had him on in 2006 when was an Exec Producer at ABC News. Was talking the same thing & taking all the usual suspects, including his own network, to task for not being a credible source to the American people.

Maybe unhurtful word choices help him do that in a way that networks don't realize they've been b'slapped until it's too late.

I think the same could be said for any President's campaign run. It was very obvious during President Bush's run against Sen. John Kerry. Even the "liberal media" regularly sided with the sitting President when it came to airtime.
