He was pretty directly calling Palin a liar and it wasn't at all what I expected from him. He then went on to harp on the 'fact' that Obama didn't know how to deal with Palin, and I had to thnk that it was in the media's interest, but not necessarily Obama's interest to make Palin the main issue. <BR/><BR/>So, it was interesting to see someone so deep in the tank like Halperin calling BS on Palin, but he still had his 'Democracts are weak' narrative to fall back on.<BR/><BR/>So, the press corp may not be ready to be honest about Democrats, but all we really need is for them to be honest about Republicans. And here's hoping McCain has broken their hearts enough for that to happen.Grants Specialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130860718294683101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-36276151543257031752008-09-10T13:35:00.000-05:002008-09-10T13:35:00.000-05:00Doctor,I wish I could agree with you, but I suspe...Doctor,<BR/><BR/>I wish I could agree with you, but I suspect that, when the wheels fall off of the Straight Talk Express, the press is going to be right there, passing out zip ties and bondo, to keep the thing together until November 4th.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-78283882313561701622008-09-10T09:48:00.000-05:002008-09-10T09:48:00.000-05:00First off, I'm not certain the media has abandoned...First off, I'm not certain the media has abandoned McCain. Or if they have, then there are still a lot of hold-outs. Yesterday on NPR, that bastion of "liberal" media, Juan Williams practically bent himself into a pretzel to avoid stating the plain fact of the McPalin lies. <A HREF="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94407496" REL="nofollow"> Go.
