I'll try to find it on youtube.
Does the Truth hurt the AP so much? Is it like holy water on a vampire, or garlic, or is it like an allergy to cats that can sometimes be overcome with more exposure?
Panning the Obama speech when it was Great looked bad and stupid - praising this one that sucked, well, um, WTF? It shows. Isn't 'media bias' supposed to be undetectable??

And not a moment too soon.
Obama is not going to get the same amount of press time over the next few weeks, the media has found a new "darling" to stalk and report on everything she is doing. When Biden and Obama make statements about McCain/Palin ARE we going to hear about it? Kerry fought back, too late, and no one was listening because the media wasn't interested in what he had to say and didn't publish much. Will this hinder Obama? I don't know but I do know the press is already turning this into Obama vs Palin
No time to relax of course. Give money to Obama. Help him help Democratic Senate and House candidates win their races in larger numbers. I think it's better to focus on the possiiblity that Democrats (god help them) win big majorities in both the House and Senate come November. It'll be nice for the first time since 1992 to campaign for Obama with the same certainty we had then. The Palin/McCain ticket is transparent as glass.
I turned off the TV too soon. This is the only entertaining part of the whole night. Andrea Mitchell attacked by balloons.

Andrea typifies NBC's cowardly multiple personality disorder in light of Rethug attacks.
It didn't make sense, but darned if it didn't make for good TV.
This absurd bon mot could have described any Rethug speech given over the last few days.
I look forward to estimates of Cindy's outfit valuation and must point out that mother Roberta McCain sported 3+ ct. sapphire earrings surrounded in diamonds. The weight of these gems didn't keep the old lady from showing more spryness than Johnny or skeletal Cindy.

CRICKETS!
It works like this. Old man without skill to lead loses race for President against younger man with skill to lead. No blame. No pity.
What struck me was the b.s. commentary afterwards from Olbermann and Matthews and their reporters. I know they try to be fair and balanced. That's the nonsense we live under in TV news today where to be fair, you have to sidestep the painfully obvious and just say it was a debacle, it looked like a hall full of demoralized people, it was a tepid speech, etc. etc.
No no no. Can't have any of that. It wouldn't be fair. To who? it certainly isn't fair to America to try to pretend what happened didn't happen.

Wow. Right now I'm a bit shaken. First we had the open mic with Chuck Todd yesterday where we get to hear what he and two REPUBLICAN operatives REALLY thought of Palin and then today after McCain's speech, after the abysmal performance that was painfully obvious to anyone even half paying attention, we get everyone from Brian Williams to the legendary Tom Brokaw trying their hardest to pretend that what happened there didn't happen.
This is exactly why people have lost respect and trust in media. Everyone at NBC, and MSNBC has lost a bit of respect from me. I realize you're just trying to be "fair and balanced", but does being "fair" includes flat out spinning for the GOP and outright lying to people about how the speech was received inside the hall? What we all saw on TV was row after row of demoralized looking people. Yet all the anchors there, including Keith Olbermann who I'm sure NBC had to restrain heavily, try to pretend otherwise??
Shameful and sad how this false concept of "fairness" can override just simply reporting what happened. It's not fair to America and it isn't fair to the Obama campaign who faced their challenge to connect and executed it stunningly and without the need of an NBC crutch afterwards to appease any angry conservatives ready to call you "the liberal media!" . As if they won't anyways...
