As Baldwin & McCullough are talking on
BMX Radio about Obama's associations with Ayers and Rev. Wright, I wonder why the media doesn't use the same descriptive language it recently used to discuss Palin's position when reporting on Obama:
"In preparation for a report on the investigation into whether Sarah Palin fired Alaska’s public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, for personal reasons, on Friday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez declared: "Palin on the hot seat. Alaska lawmakers set to release a report today on the Troopergate investigation. We'll go live to Alaska for the latest details on the potentially explosive report." Co-host Julie Chen later introduced the segment by explaining: "The McCain-Palin ticket is bracing for what could be an embarrassing report."
Has any reporter called the Obama-Ayers association a "potentially explosive report"? Have they told the American people that this information might be "embaressing"? No.
Recently, Evan Thomas, Editor at Large with Newsweek, charged:
“If he loses the election because of that, it's a disgrace.” Totenberg alleged Sarah Palin's anti-Obama rhetoric is “pretty ugly and a little scary."
The Obama-friendly media filter strikes again...
