MSM Tensions Erupt

Really? As Matt Yglesias points out , it's pretty clear how the media should treat these ads that they know to be dishonest. Use them to accurately create a pattern of dishonesty by John McCain's campaign. If Obama was putting out lies about McCain, how fast do you think the media would figure a way out of that "conundrum"? It's not like they have anything else to do here... Full Story »

Hysterical, true, and well documented. They're mad I tell you, all mad! And these are the people who think they should be able to tell us how to vote? If it weren't so scary, it would be really funny.

Very good journalism about the antics reporters get up to when they've surrendered their scruples, abandoned the pursuit of truth and face a roomful of equally unengaged clones. Joe Scarborough is perhaps the worst, but clearly courtesy was given short shrift among journalists at the DNC yesterday.

Darn, wish I could have seen some of these antics by the reporters on MSNBC, but I always watch C-Span. It's ridiculous there are nearly three times as many news creeps as delegates at the convention. Talking heads is exactly what they are. This is a good story and have felt that several people on MSNBC are not completely beyond the pale. Mainly Olbermann and perhaps Rachel Maddow as well. None of the mass media are being honest or Obama would be way out in front of McCain. It's ... More »
