Turnabout is Fair Play?
Now we see the split in the so-called liberal media.
This is CNN’s story, reported only by CNN, the network that gave Hillary Clinton the ability to have the last word at the debate and throw her a softball, underhanded question lest she swing and miss it. This is the network that allowed her to claim as though her campaign was in some kind of resurgence just because she resorted to the same kind of idealized rhetoric espoused by Obama and arguable, John Edwards? If Obama had mentioned the same thing in the debate, no one would have even bothered to note it.

What I would like to add is that if the tables were reversed and Clinton was firmly ahead, do you think Obama would have choice but to attend to shore up his support? Does this lend creedence to the claim that Obama realizes that he needs to be out on the campaign trail to put this aside and that right now, Clinton has nothing to gain from this aside from trying to score political points. And political points aside, don’t you think that this doesn’t ask some important questions, particularly raised by Eugene Robinson yesterday?
Interesting, I don’t see the first story being reported at all on MSNBC.com or their own website.
Nor do I see evidence of this from Newsweek.
The next debate will be on MSNBC on Tuesday in Ohio, which I think will be more friendly to Obama than CNN was. Anyone who criticizes MSNBC for being the Obama channel needs to take note that CNN could be described as the Clinton channel.
This is from our supposedly unbiased, objective mainstream media.
And the increasingly liberal New York Times as well.
Debate Close Wasn’t a Farewell, Clinton Says.
Which begs the question. Does this all really matter?
Considering Obama is now the presumptive nominee by most, why didn’t the White House bother to respond to her similar allegations about the nature of the Iraq War?

Why are they taking him on directly and, not her, if they feel as though both candidates have an equal shot?
