Dan Rather Admits MSM in Tank for Democrats
GayPatriot —
If you don’t believe me that if we held Joe Biden to the Sarah Palin standard, the media would make mincemeat of the Delaware Democrat, then take a listen to former CBS News Anchor Dan Rather (at about 1:54 below):
(Via HotAir.)
Had Sarah Palin said that John McCain’s election would generate an international crisis to test the Republicans mettle as Joe Biden said about Obama, Rather believes “it would be above the fold in most newspapers today . . . the newspapers ...
Tanking It For Obama
A Blog For All —
The media is so badly in the tank for the Obama campaign that even Dan Rather has said that if Gov. Sarah Palin said what Joe Biden did, it would be fatal to the campaign . It would be front page above the fold important. Yet, why is it that this story percolates mainly in the blogosphere? The answer is all but obvious to anyone who's paying attention. It's the media bias, stupid. What exactly did Biden say? Who knows what Biden says? Anyone? Let's go to the ...
Rather to NBC: Yep, Everyone Should Be Covering Biden's Remarks
Weekly Standard Blog —
If even Dan Rather thinks you're in the tank...just, wow.
"Certainly, if Sarah Palin had said this, it would be above the fold in most newspapers."
Doesn’t Get Much Clearer Than That
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler —
You know who thinks that the Obamamedia are in the tank for Obambi, noting that if it’d been Governor Palin who’d made Joe Robinette’s gaffe (we prefer to call it involuntary honesty) about his own ticket fucking up within the first six months of taking office, then it would most CERTAINLY have been page 1, above the fold, screaming headlines news? Dan Rather does. You know, when Dan “Forgery” Rather comes out and tells you that you have a liberal bias to the point where you’re deliberately ignoring stories that might hurt your candidate, it’s really, REALLY time to get out of ...
Joe Biden's Words: Marked
A Chequer-Board of Nights and Days —
... recalling that during the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination, Biden made clear his belief that Obama was not prepared to be President. Maybe, his selection as Vice President notwithstanding, he let it slip that he still doesn't believe that Obama is prepared to be President. Either that, or Joe Biden possesses no control whatsoever over his own verbiage. Your call. But again, it's something worth covering and this exact same situation would have been covered if Sarah Palin had said about John McCain what Joe Biden said about Barack Obama.

... could rotate people in and out of the tent on that one credential. Great. A general media area will be created where a reporter could watch for free, but the set-up is separate, unequal and clearly second class when it comes to getting top access to campaign people. Doubtless, the Obama people think that covering Obama is a privilege and an honor, one that the media will gladly pay through the nose for. On the upside, perhaps such displays of arrogance will convince the media to stop covering for the Obama campaign's gaffes . Hope springs eternal, anyway.
