Will the msm finally do some honest journalism on Obama now?

Now that he is the front runner will the msm do some honest journalism on him for once? The msm has a short-term incentive, especially the television msm. The horse race is great for ratings and they need it to continue as long as possible. There is also their civic duty to let folks know who they are voting for, which they have abdicated for a year. Perhaps they will start to ask questions now in order to have something to report on? They must know there is a lot of interest in who the nation is getting in bed with and maybe they will report on him now. Or will they continue to advocate for Obama until the moment he clinches the nomination?

1. The latter seems more likely.

Oust the Clinton's then take Obama down.

2. What is this fixation you have on the delusion that Obama HAS dirt?

The guy's life is an open book. With all the mud the Clintons threw, if there was anything to find, they would have found it.

4. I don't think he has dirt, excepts perhaps Rezko

But he has a record like every other politician...

6. Dr. Drew Pinsky, Brittney Spears and human sacrifice.

In a discussion about Ms. Spears, Dr. Drew Pinsky made an observation about media and culture I thought was pretty spot on even though I'm by no means a fan of the Dr. or Spears. He was discussing how our culture seems to elevate people of little substance to ridiculous heights and then tear them down with delicious abandon. He likened this act by those addicted to the celebrity culture and the media that covers it to a kind of modern-day human sacrifice.

Elevate and worship them, then turn on them and kill them.

It's an analogy that has merit.

7. Not until he gets the nomination squared away. Then they crank up the hate machine.

Anybody who didn't arrive this morning on the turnip truck knows what to expect.
