Conservative Cabal

Well, the right side anyway.

The Anchoress has a wonderfully funny post on the press, Obama, Iraq, and The President, here.

Powerline talks about various ways the deciders are editing our news here, here, and here.

And David Thompson is looking at Second Childhoods.

On the press, as a conservative, I’m always ready for them to paint the Republican nominee as either ignorant or evil (or preferably both) and to ignore or minimize the failures and limitations of the Democratic Other. But this year they certainly are outdoing themselves. Powerline points to two instances over the weekend where the media, one Washington Post and two ABC’s This Week, had extended pieces on “Obama’s Spirituality” and neither of them managed to even mention his “spiritual mentor” of 20 years. Reverend Wright is down the memory hole. That’s insane. They’ve lost their minds in their desperation to win this election and it’s going to come back and bite them in the butt when somebody breaks ranks and starts reporting on Obama instead of working for him. It has to, right?

The culture war will have to wait for another post…
