Obama/McCain — The Double Standard & Journalistic Complicity

September 12, 2008 by Jack and Jill P...

There are a lot of journalists and media types who happen to read this blog. So I’d like to direct this post straight to you. If you fail to cover the double standard in the way that Barack Obama is being treated in the media versus the treatment of McCain/Palin, you won’t have to answer to me. You’ll have to answer to your children and grandchildren. Don’t try to explain it to me later like you did the failure to cover the shallow rationale for invading Iraq and the administration’s numerous subsequent blunders there. Save your explanations for your descendants when they ask you why you actively participated in racism and fraud.

Thanks to Hazel for sending.

McCain Oopsapalooza Tour 7

Neverending gaffes, mistakes, botched strategies, and now, flat-out lies!

Christian fundamentalists pray for John McCain's death, all the better for elevation of Vice President Sarah Palin to president. Way to activate your fundie base, McCain, and engage that death cult mojo in your favor! Oops.

Speaking of praying for nice, positive Christian things: the overly-religious prayed for it to rain on Obama's acceptance speech. It was gloriously sunny in Denver. But the Gulf coast brewed up a wicked storm in Gustav that kept President Bush from appearing at his own party's convention in Minneapolis. God has distinct and unpredictable meteorological preferences, it seems. Oops.
