The Other Media Darling

By Big Tent Democrat

Barack Obama is the #1 Media Darling right now. Credit to him and if he is the nominee, let's pray he stays the #1 Media Darling. But, as Kevin Drum and Bob Somerby show, the Dean's Endless Love has not diminished:

David Broder says John McCain "is the rare exception who is not assumed to be willing to sacrifice personal credibility to prevail in any contest." Bob Somerby is pissed:

The Dean doesn't tell us who assumes this — nor does he say if their assumption is warranted. And this is odd, because let's be frank: John McCain basically lied through his teeth all through his last run for the White House. . . .

The Media's love for McCain will not wane. Right now, it's love for Obama is stronger. As I have written, Hillary Clinton will always be the target of the Media's attacks (cheered on by the Left blogs now, would that continue if she were the Dem nominee? Even the VP nominee?) no matter what. It is why Obama is more electable.

(By Big Tent Democrat, speaking for me only.)
