Dan beat me to the McCain Editorial thing, so here’s a bit on an Obama orgy.

I'm not proud.

Hey, that was the actual title and everything.

Obama orgy
By JOSEPH W. MCQUAID
New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher

The blatant bias of the major national news media toward Barack Obama is now so overwhelming that it would not be worth noting, except that the election of a President of the United States is involved. It is a propaganda blitz that would make the Kremlin blush.

By election day, we fully expect John McCain to be vilified as a Vietnam-era war criminal and worse. But that is only if the networks and other major media can tear themselves away from their Obama orgy.

A recent report found that since June the nightly newscasts of NBC, CBS, and ABC combined have spent 114 minutes covering Obama. McCain got 48 minutes.

But that was before this week.

Given Dan’s latest piece, {see also Hot Air, California Yankee, AoSHQ, and no doubt more to come} – heck, given Rasmussen – this editorial is rapidly losing whatever tendency towards hyperbole that it might have ever had in the first place.

    Take a look over at Talking Points Memo, f’rinstance. They are whining that the media, as usual, is trying to spin the Timetable Thing for McCain.

    The general consensus on the Maliki timetable thing over there is that Obama’s call for timetable is now vindicated by Iraqi support, and McCain can’t endorse a timetable without being a flip-flopper.

    Never mind the reason behind wanting, or not wanting, a timetable. I think the public can spot the difference between running away and marching home victoriously.

    …if they want to keep being able to sleep at night.

    …to publish a deadline for withdrawl. Since he is a military man, he should know that telling the enemy where and when you are moving is a bad idea. If we knew where the majority of Al-Q was moving, and the date they were moving, we would have killed them all years ago. Unfortunatly, they realize this fact and our Media doesn’t.

    Now, I know that this whole debate doesn’t boil down to be quite that thin…but that is a major reason not to anounce a timeline or deadline or horizon or whatever else they are calling it today. Soldiers overseas are prohibited from calling home with specific dates of troop movements. It’s called OPSEC, operational security. I think alot of the general public probably doesn’t think about security concerns like this…it might make McCain’s proposal a little bit more easy to swallow for regular folks if he would work this into his narrative somehow. Just a thought.
