| ABC News Radio obsessed with Obama's "Halloween Anger" |
|
I was just listening to my local Air America affiliate (KPOJ in Portland, OR), and they broadcast an ABC News 5-minute block at the top of each hour. The top story of the hour was the Presidential campaign, and this was what they focussed on: Obama paused to take a family photo when getting off the airplane at his latest campaign stop. They explicitly contrasted this with his "snapping at" reporters for following him and his daughters as they Trick-or-Treated last night, as if it were revealing and ridiculous hypocrisy.
Let me repeat: that was ABC News's entire coverage of Obama's campaign: his family had their picture taken getting off a plane at a campaign stop, when last night he was angry that the press was taking his picture. Pure editorializing masquerading as news. Disgusting.

| 3. That was "irritation" at best, not anger. |
|
I don't know where they got anger from. And to be honest, I think he had a right to be.

| 5. It's not anger, it's good boundaries! |
|
'Hey, bugger off, I'm hanging with my kid on Halloween!'
Leave it to the media to try and see something negative in that....

Don't we all wish that was the extend of our anger,especially John McCain.
I'd call that mild (very mild) irritation. John McCain is probalby thinking, "WTF are they talking about?!"

not sure why republican owned media hates protective parents. Maybe they want us all to have 16 yr old pregnant daughters?
