Senator John Kerry lashed out at the media today for their constant news coverage obsession with Rev. Wright and his recent string of interviews. And even though according to the L.A. Times it was a Hillary Clinton supporter who arranged the “spectacle” (as Obama called it) that was the Rev. Wright National Press Club event, [...]

Hillary/McCain: Out of Touch on Gasoline
April 30th, 2008 · No Comments
Maybe Hillary Clinton and John McCain should become running mates? Not only are they using the same talking points against Obama on the campaign trail, they’re proposing the same plans!

As the likely nominee, Barack Obama leads in every possible metric: popular vote, delegate count, number of states won, number of primaries won, and number of caucuses won.

The Real News in Pennsylvania: The Republican Primary
April 24th, 2008 · No Comments
With all of the talk of the “tide turning”, as Hillary Clinton puts it, the media lost focus on a huge story in Pennsylvania’s primary yesterday.

Why Hillary should not be president
April 14th, 2008 · No Comments
Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein wrote an excellent piece yesterday on CNN’s website, describing what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like:
The answer by now seems obvious: It will look like her presidential campaign, which in turn looks increasingly like the first Clinton presidency.
Which is to say, high-minded ideals, lowered execution, half truths, outright lies (and [...]

CNN.com Misleads its Readers (Again)
April 13th, 2008 · No Comments
Barack Obama faced yet another day of attacks from his opponents (Hillary and McCain), while the media pounced as well, with CNN mischaracterizing what he said:
MUNCIE, Indiana (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday tried to clarify what he meant when he said some small-town Pennsylvanians are “bitter” people who “cling to guns and religion.”
