Obama's Controversial Former Pastor Criticizes Media at Funeral

ABC News' Jan Simmonds Reports: The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the former pastor of Sen. Barack Obama, fired back at the news media during a Chicago funeral service on Saturday. Wright didn't mention the Democratic presidential hopeful by name but did call out some of his critics, including Fox News commentators Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, at times drawing standing ovations from the 2,500 mourners in attendance.

... Wright also referred to Fox News as "Fix News."

2. Wright is only "controversial" because the RW media machine labels him so.

3. He's a diversion from real issues which are not being

discussed in the media regarding church and state.
