Yes, M… you’ve said that before…

Yet, I’m still waiting for those “overly conservative” articles you seem to read.

I laid out the text, I’ve shown the evidence… if you want more, I’ll keep pointing it out for you. But for someone who claims to be upset with FOX’s “fair and balanced” slogan, as so many anti-FOX-ers claim to be… why you wouldn’t want more honesty on this blog, is somewhat surprising. And by “surprising,” I mean really predictably hypocritical.

Once again, as soon as there’s a post here on Mediaite that isn’t overtly conservative, praises Fox News, pats O’Reilly or Beck on their backs – the crocodile tears start coming. Seriously. Just drop the whining.

Let’s use this to checkout the mindset of “the media.”

Obama references “the fly” incident, and the reporter responds with:

Reporter: But that worked out well for you, you were a ninja!

Really? Doesn’t that sound a little fawning to anyone else? Want more, what about this:

A little more of this side of Obama would be a welcome change in terms of the current health care debate. One can only hope he makes an appearance a some point on his grand tour this Sunday.

Seems pretty approving (understandably) of Obama’s words, and encouraging him to use harsher words when talking about healthcare. Where do you think this reporter stands on the issue? OOPS, wait… It’s Mediaite’s Glynnis again! So I suppose the follow up question goes from, “Does the media have any shame, why won’t they admit their biases,” to “Why won’t Glynnis admit HER biases… and get her posts moved from general television interest, to an ‘opinion column’?”

Well?

I’d interpret the “Now I’m assuming all this stuff…where’s the Pool?” as an indication that he thought it was pre-interview, off the record and they were still messing with audio or something.

Why aren’t the pundits pointing out the obvious?! This was his sister solja moment. He is having trouble with white voters. This way he gets to slap down a little punk African American entertainer. But he did it in a way that won’t offend the African American community. If he had done it “on the record” and from a podium that would be one thing.

Are you sure that was the reporter asking if it was the first question? It sounded like Robert Gibbs.
