A reporter explains why even liberals should think twice about the free ride Obama’s gotten

Here’s an interesting opinion piece from an ABC News reporter:

But nothing, cialis usa health nothing I’ve seen has matched the media bias on display in the current presidential campaign.

Republicans are justifiably foaming at the mouth over the sheer one-sidedness of the press coverage of the two candidates and their running mates. But in the last few days, even Democrats, who have been gloating over the pass — no, make that shameless support — they’ve gotten from the press, are starting to get uncomfortable as they realize that no one wins in the long run when we don’t have a free and fair press.

Too bad this is on ABC’s blog and not their broadcast

This fundraising advantage comes directly as a result of Obama’s abandonment of his pledge to enter into the public financing system, viagra sale sale a system creating to squelch the influence of money in presidential politics.

And while Obama’s campaign can rightly claim an unprecedented number of donors, and myriad small donations, it has also refused to abide by principles of full disclosure — it does not provide the public with the names of any donors who have given less than $200, for instance.

And amidst legitimate inquiries about some of that money coming illegally from non -U.S. citizens, and some of that money being given — in aggregate — in excess of individual contribution limits, one wonders why it is that the Obama campaign feels this refusal to inform the public where all its money is coming from in any way squares with Obama’s claim to be a reformer.

Just as it’s tough to envision a world where it’s the Obamas who have an unmarried pregnant teenage daughter and conservative pundits are celebrating that fact and demanding that the girl be given privacy, it’s tough to imagine a scenario where the media allows McCain to tiptoe away from his campaign finance pledge, untrammeled, and then drown his opponent in cash, the donors for much of which are undisclosed.

What the sort of headline is this?

Barely legal?

Isn’t that like being a little bit pregnant?

Come on guys, it’s either legal or it’s not. Leave the editorializing for the editorial page.

Ditto

An excerpt from a longer post about the press, generic cialis remedy the Democrats and the housing crisis by Orson Scott Card:

This was a Congress-caused crisis, viagra beginning during the Clinton administration, stuff with Democrats leading the way into the crisis and blocking every effort to get out of it in a timely fashion.

If you at our local daily newspaper continue to let Americans believe – and vote as if – President Bush and the Republicans caused the crisis, then you are joining in that lie.

If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats – including Barack Obama – and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans – then you are not journalists by any standard.

You’re just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it’s time you were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a daily newspaper in our city.

I keep hoping that after the Democrats take control…

… of the White House and both houses of Congress, viagra sales drugstore the lapdogs in the mainstream media will remember their role and start acting like watchdogs again.

But I honestly don’t think they’re capable of it.
