I defy you to look at this headline without laughing or rolling your eyes.

[Zavulon]

Seriously, tell me if you were able to do it.

1. Couldn't!

It was like you knew my exact reaction! I read it, shook my head, and rolled my eyes!

[MrModerate]

2. Well, I chortled in a superior sort of way . . .

And then made a "puhhhhh" noise, dismissively, and and a "kggh, kggh, kggh," sound while waving my splayed fingers near my jaw.

Fairly typical response from me when encountering acid-tinged irony in real life.

3. Why, sometimes even President Bush gets a bad press. Anne Coulter, too!

[liberal N proud]

4. But you see, This is what the right wing has done for years

They have called it the "liberal media" for years al while the media has been the right wing attack dog.

They have done this projecting so effectively that so many Americans falsely believe the media is liberal.

Just more of the same shit we have seen from the GOP and they just proclaim it louder when their man is down.

Fucking whiners!

[timtom]

5. Slightly different flavor:

Mentally screamed "No DUH!" while shaking my head w/slight trace of sardonic smile.

[SmileyRose]

6. Well I agree with the headline.

They do have a bias toward Obama. Poor McCain can't attract news coverage to save his life. Even the RW radio pundits spend most of their time talking about Obama and can't hardly bring themselves to yap about McCain. Probably because he reminds everyone of leftovers that have been in the back of the fridge for 3 months.

12. Can you blame them?

Obama can actually carry an audience and keep people's interest. Naturally, the media will cover the candidate who will get them the most ratings and readings. It's sad but true.

(No, I couldn't stop myself from laughing.)

[AmyCamus]

16. I agree with it too. And it's about freaking time!

Honest reporting KNOWS there isn't always two equal sides to an issue.

[SmileyRose]

18. I wouldn't call it "honest reporting"

To be honest, I think the media is following Obama around just desperately hoping for him to royally screw up and they all want to be there to catch the train wreck on film. I don't for one second believe any of the MSM is in his corner.

But yes, a diverse throng of attractive people out in the hot sun screaming like Beatles fans makes for much better TV than 2 wrinkly white guys in a golf cart. :)

7. Holy shit it's Zavulon!!!

Sveta kicked your ass with that bus yo! Watching "Day Watch" now lol.

[Zavulon]

11. Yep, she got the best of me...

...but I walked away with the kid. The balance of power will soon tilt in my favor! MWA-HA-HA-HA!

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. I do so want to read the third book

Soon...

[madinmaryland]

8. Hmmm! Do I sense a bit of "whining" coming from the McCain campaign.

Maybe it's just all in your mind, johnny boy!

[malaise]

9. Meanwhile CBS edits McSame's interview

to spare him another major gaffe. Ah well!

[gasperc]

10. his bitch is the Good press, if it was bad press

we wouldn't hear a whisper

[DearAbby]

13. Ooooooops

sorry, couldn't do it

[LWolf]

15. No problem.

Why was I supposed to laugh?

[Canuckistanian]

17. Predictable, in my view

The SECOND Obama starts to get favorable press, the whining begins.

It'll happen again.

19. And he only knows half the story

If he ever discovers the internets he'll see WAY more pro-Obama stuff!

[librechik]

20. I did, but only because I've read that hed a hundred times in the last few days

It's common knowledge now, isn't it?

Riding the catapult...
