your jobs the McCain campaign wouldn't have to be doing it for you. Although the average Obama supporter is blissfully and in some cases deliberately unaware or irrationally dismissive of Obama's long term and deep ties to radical extremists and their organizations, you, John Dickerson, and your fellow political journalists KNOW about those ties, just how deep they go, and how theydo reflect the character of Barack Obama.

Look, you work for the openly leftist Slate e-zine and so you are supposed to be deeply in the tank for Obama, essentially campaigning for him and you do a good job at that on the whole. But most of your fellow journalists are supposed to be, unlike you . . . REAL journalists and they are supposed to look into the real background of politicians like Barack Obama not just read his two memoirs and accept everything that the politician choses to say as holy gospel.

Last week you noted sarcastically that 'Everybody hates the press.' Well John, enough of you members of the press give people good reason to hate the profession and its 'so called' professionals that you really ought to stop and consider what 'in the tank for Obama' pros like you do to help tear down the reputation of the press in this nation and make people not trust it.

If you understood or respected the Constitution and really understood the role that the press is supposed to have in the health maintenance of a republic perhaps you would be less flippant regarding your role in being a really, really bad member of the press.

Your campareing un-biased journalism like CNN with political commentators like O'Reilly and Olberman. Both are these ,en are far left and far right bloodsuckers who feed on prophaganda and misinformation to persuade people (mostly independents) how terrible liberals or conservatives are. They are not true journalists.

so you're saying that the McCain/Palin people are spreading slime and offal because *journalists* aren't spreading slime and offal?

let me guess: the commies are climbing in the window with bayonets in their teeth even as we speak, and you're just alerting the populace, right?

Yes of course, DemCon sees himself as the modern day Paul Revere -- only instead riding through the streets of Boston -- he's using the Internets to get around.

God Bless you DemCon, you stalwart bastion of Freedom!

CNN is not unbiased. It is the wind testing nose up the butt of the New York Times or any other strong voice. Just like CNN was all a twitter with excitement to go into the war in Iraq, they will chase after whatever appears to be latest thing with blind enthusiam. Same for all the market bubbles they have actively promoted and then deflated with their fawning brainless regard. There is no journalistic integrity left anywhere in the mainstream media. It is all just opinion masquerading as fact and trendspotting replacing investigation.

like my autograph? No charge.

Demcon

There is no credible evidence or study that demonstrates CONTENT bias beyond slightly center right by the so called MSM. On some issues the NYT is fairly hard right (Israel and the mid east) on others they are more centrist. CNN leans right on economics but is centrist otherwise.

The only place where journalistic integrity is for sale is when Hannity pretends to be the "most comprehensive source of News"....

If you cannot distinguish between actual opinion pieces and fact based reporting, I urge you not to vote this november.

Demcon wrote " Obama's long term and deep ties to radical extremists and their organizations,".

Please list these ties. Ayres is a respected University professor: Wright is a marine veteran and respected preacher. What organisations are you talking about? Do you mean people who don't subscribe to your myths about America? You are a fool. Your America is not mine.
