Keith Olbermann

If you did not see the newest skit by Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live then stop whatever you are doing and hit play. If you are one of the millions of people that ended up watching it . . . it was hilarious right?

The way that John McCain has changed in the last eight years is shocking. A person I once respected and admired for standing up to corruption or questionable attack tactics has done a 180 and is the total opposite of what I once endorsed. He is a despicable, ignorant, hypocrite that will say anything and do anything to become the President of the United States. He is willing to go so far as to hurt our country in order to gain for personal reasons.

McCain states, "Behind all of these claims and positions by Senator Obama lies the ambition to be president. What's less apparent is the judgment to be commander-in-chief. And in matters of national security, good judgment will be at a premium in the term of the next president."  Read More »

Alan Stewart Carl of Donklephant claims not to believe in the “liberal media” myth but cries “liberal bias” when all three major network anchors join Barack Obama on his foreign tour. He claims that John McCain would receive no coverage “if he journeyed to the moon” and such coverage is typically reserved for Presidents. He concludes by stating that Obama will benefit from this trip and he was wrong about thinking that “the media was McCain’s base.”

I find this post and complaints from McCain supporters amusing since this is exactly what McCain did one month ago. Keith Olbermann entertains the claims from the McCain campaign and offers his insight on the issue. McCain staged a foreign tour around Latin America for no explicit purpose other then a photo-op. It was McCain that went to Iraq and then chastised Obama for not visiting the region. It was McCain that ignored law enforcement pleas from Iowa when he wanted to stage a photo-op in the region after the devastation from the rainfall/flood.

Carl may attempt to remind us that Obama’s situation is different. He has three major network anchors along for the ride. I agree that is different because the Obama camp was keen on inviting those individuals. McCain could have but never invited those three anchors. Obama on the other hand did so and they accepted his invitation. Carl would like to paint a picture where these three major network anchors decided to scorn McCain and go on the trip with Obama.

As for the media bias in this election, I will have to claim that it is not liberal. Obama has been scrutinized far more than McCain. In fact, when Obama is not being personally judged, his wife, pastor or supporters are footing the bill. As for McCain . . . racist jokes can slide by, his hot temper is justified, his flip-flopping is ignored and his lack of knowledge on the economy and foreign policy is not examined. Talk about a bias . . . yes there is a bias and it is against Obama. How else can you explain that the amount of people that believe Obama is a Muslim has increased to 12% since January?
