Halperin Discovers Moral Outrage

... Jake Tapper in his ABC blog comes to the aid of his former boss with another example: what he calls "perhaps the most unfair and negative TV ad run during the entire campaign, by either side"--a Spanish-language Obama ad accusing McCain of hostility to Mexican immigrants. If you follow his links, you can decide for yourself. It's a fool's game, in the end, this business of what's "most unfair," though the "perhaps" perhaps softens the blow.

All by itself, a love-struck media which has been in the tank for Obama since the early primaries wouldn't be so bad. After all, any half-intelligent Epsilon-Minus Semi-Moron can see through the bias, which is often unapologetic, as in Matthews' case.

... and media bigwigs -- ABC News simply insists that it has the capacity to be fair. And it will demonstrate its fairness by . . . shutting out any voice but Obama's. Yeah, that makes sense. Just wondering: What would be so bad with giving some time to opposing views, as well as to Obama? What is ABC so afraid of -- isn't the news supposed to be about informing the public?
