The high water mark for drive-by media insolence is still Evan Thomas's [ Assistant Managing Editor of Newsweek] assertive brag that the "the establishment media, not Fox" wanted Kerry to win, and their efforts would create a "glow about them ... that’s going to be worth maybe 15 points.”
I think he was right, but Kerry, fortunately for the country, needed
18. That no audible public outrage ensued was, apparently, taken
by the media as carte blanche to fawn and finagle as they
pleased, and without pretense. Media adoration for Obama is the
latest example of the them becoming their own story, but for gawd's
sake, will you look at thisshameless exhibition.

that Time's in the tank for Obama or nuthin'. Not that its new cover
merely depicts Barack with an ethereal glow, asks the question whether
experience matters and answers it largely in the negative.
No, it gets much better. The magazine's editor goes on Morning Joe and
just happens to mention a study comparing a new nurse with a nurse who
has 35 years of experience. And he lets us know that not only did the
experienced nurse not perform any better than the rookie, she actually
wound up . . . killing the patient faster! [Mark Finklestein continued]
