Can this country get a real media?

They're the media. They took Gore, Dean, and Kerry down for similar bogus reasons.

CNN is the Clinton News Network and they don't call it that for nothing.

MSNBC took time out from slashing Bush to go after Obama?  I'd have to see that to believe it.

Gotta love the American media. Especially so called "fair and balanced" media. Who came up with that terrible saying anyway?

Now we are going to say the media is hurting Obama? He's been given essentially a free pass to this point. That is fair game.

It's time Obama supporters grew some and got ready for the general. Do they honestly think he will get through the entire election cycle without any attacks at all? The Clinton's have been really tame to this point.

the flip side of Obama not having been in politics very long is that there's very little dirt on him.

This is just meaningless symbolism and you know it. How exactly will not wearing a flag pin affect his ability to govern? Do you really think he isn't patriotic?

The irony of a McCain supporter claiming that the media is biased towards a Democrats is amazing.

Fair game. Obama said he was deliberately not wearing a flag pin as a protest about Iraq. His wife said twice that she had never been proud of her country (though she inserted the word 'really' the second time). I'm not American and a I'm not a big fan of wrapping oneself in one's flag so I can't really comment, but these events did happen and the Obama's have gone out of their way to pick this fight.

Obama should put the pin back on and say that he isn't going to be swift boat'ed and give some patriotic statements at the same time.

Any criticism he should refer back to be swift boated by extremists

I fully agree.  Hell certain Hillary supporters here have been spastic at MSNBC's love-fest with Obama.   Watching a lot of MSNBC, I'd be shocked to see a pattern of Obama attacks ever.

If you look at the topics at the top right now about 1 in 3 is a post from one of our local Obamaniacs whining about someone picking on poor Barack.

Obama shouldn't give in to the extremists.

Obama and McCain have both received "free passes" from the media but it seems both of them have come under heavy fire in the past few days
