Oh - of course. I even said that the donations in and of itself that isn't a problem. The issue is that I think it clearly comes out in their reporting and the bias is evident. This is fine for pundits and those who offer opinions for a living. For those who try to pass themselves off as journalists, though, like in the Matthews example, this is problematic.

But McCain made a big fat gaffe when he whined about it so publically that Obama's getting all the press. Awww, poor Johnny. Big Bad War Hero Cwies that TV Doesn's Wike Him.


Not as big as his gaffe that started the whole thing, though. What did he think Obama was going to do when he said the senator hadn't been to Iraq lately. Um, d'uh, set up a trip to Iraq and other hot spots pronto, and have the press slathering for it the whole way. Thanks for the tip, Johnny! Now please keep losing the election by yourself, so's I have less work to do!

Yes, indeed, McCain isn't playing it well at all in terms of handling the media bas.

I heard that McCain admitted he has no idea about modern technology, how the Internet works, etc. I can't say this is a huge deal for me because I really don't expect someone of his generation to be into all that, but I wonder, is this a big deal for some of you guys? My only problem with it is that there are going to be some big decisions made regarding net neutrality in the next 4-8 years (not that I'd trust a Republican in general with such decisions [/broad brush])

Welcome to 8 years ago. May your journey through the dark years be easier than mine, and bring much less loss of life.

That is hilarious!

I was going to post this in the WTF story thread, but chose here instead. It does not affect my political views at all, I was just amused by the error.

That is funny!

Radley Balko: A Few Questions for Barack Obama

Previously, he had some questions for John McCain.

That's OK, he's admitted he has no clue about the domestic economy, either.

But gosh darnit, he knows about them commies!

PS: But yeah... one of the politiblogs I read mentioned the fact that he doesn't even read email.

Or where the border of Pakistan is, for that matter. At least he understands the importance of the sanctity of marriage though, between one man and one woman - or at least no more than a couple of women.
