Anyone notice: MSM hasn't been plying Wright clips ad nauseum since Obama's speech?
Edited on Tue Mar-18-08 07:32 PM by npincus
Up until this morning, the Wright clip was being played on cable media with the frequency of infamous "Dean Scream". But I've noticed since, the MSM has been showing the clip without the audio, and not with nearly the same frequency they had.

Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if Obama's speech shamed the folks who produce these programs and they decided: enough. Of course, this excludes the FUX network.

1. I was hoping that would happen
After he called them on playing it over and over. Kind of like Clinton mentioning the SNL skit...now Obama has learned how to "work the refs". And he is right to call them on this...he ought to demand that they play other sermons from his pastor to give some perspective.

5. All we can hope for is they play them so much people get sick of seeing them
Because McCain is damn well going to be playing them a lot before the general in his campaign ads.
