It is all so ridiculous.
Elite media pundits acting as if they can "read the minds of the American people" -as if there were such a thing to begin with.
But what really makes me sick is hearing them pick the Wright thing apart continuously and to have the nerve to stand there and smarmingly wonder outloud "whether or not the story will continue"!
What has become clear to me more than ever since Obama's statement on Wright yesterday, is that the Media have CREATED the story that they are reporting and they are fueling it in a daring and obvious way.
I always thought that one of the tenets of the 4th Estate would be to stay out of the story that they are reporting on. That is objective reporting, not inserting yourself into the story. The "media" companies (corporate media whores to be more specific) have completely created this story.
In fact, they entered into Barack Obama's church, a place they had no right to go into in the first place and drove a racial wedge between Obama, who is running to represent ALL of the American people, and Wright, who was preaching to a smaller target of African-Americans in a completely different stage (Church sermon VS. Presidential campaign). It is an attack on Obama that appeals to the very lowest common denominator.
Yes, Obama did what he needed to do. But he only needed to do because it was the Media Whores that made a story, fed a story, inserted themselves in the story and lapped up the money at the Democratic Party's expense.
They learned a lot from the EMBEDDING process of the Media Whore driven "Iraq War". And we all forgot alot.
Media fairness went out the window and never came back. Now it is on a Presidential scale though.
