This is not a pro-Clinton or Anti-Obama entry. This is a let's not let the Media fool us and the American people diary.
I watched Meet the Press yesterday at the health club with closed captions while doing elliptical trainer and listening to good music (Once More With Feeling). The lack of sound allows you to look at what they are saying and not be affected by the emotion. After fellating McCain for what seemed like hours, (Yes, Senator but aren't you teh awesome?), they had two guys and MoDo to discuss Clinton. This was a concentrated attack where they never gave specific statements that Clinton had said except the "shame on you" attack on the media. It was just all out attack on Clintons (I think they may have left off Chelsea).
Now the point is not Clinton vs Obama. The point is we don't want this kind of content free media firestorm determining our candidate choice. We need to recognize the elements they use because if Obama gets the nomination, they are going to do it to him.
Specifics after the fold.
