Conservative Cabal

Just in case no one has noticed, the U.S. is about to get past its past — racial past, that is. We are going to CHANGE. The U.S. will once again be a city on a hill. A beacon of hope to a world in need. In need of a new America.  An America they can feel proud of, maybe for the first time ever.

Loves like this come only once — maybe twice — in a lifetime, and journalists around the world aren’t letting the chance for happiness pass them by.

Foreign press: All Obama, all the time - Michael Calderone - Politico.com

And now here’s a somewhat battered John Kass, sometime conservative, writing in the Chicago Tribune about the coverage of this sacred event — the annointing of Obama. Barack is our prophet, priest, and king. Sure, that’s what Christians say about Jesus Christ, but why am I letting my personal beliefs about the Messiah dim my outlook on the person who could embody all of those ideals that Christ actually, umm, embodied.  oops, I’m saying that the press is portraying Obama as a Messiah figure, and everyone knows this already. It’s not news. Move along.

And that’s the problem with the recognition of liberal media bias in this case. I have a sense that most people may think “Sure, the press is cossetting and cozying up to Obama. But so what? Aren’t they right? Aren’t they reflecting what we all feel deep down?”
