"Journalists" treating national election like it's a sporting event - "What does Obama need to do?" |
|
"Well, he's got to bring his "A" game tonight and really put it away"
"Tonight he has to really score."
"He really needs to bat it out of the stadium tonight"
Can you even begin to imagine Walter Cronkite or Huntley and Brinkley saying anything even one tenth as asisnine?

What does McCain have to do?
They always talk about PUMA, but what about conservatives not warming up to McCain?
The media is disgusting.

4. And, that is why it ISN'T like a sporting event ... |
|
Sorry, sports broadcasters are BALANCED, for the most part, and if they favor someone, it isn't the WORST team ...
The McCain/Obama coverage would be like a New England/Miami game, except the announcers spending the entire game saying the Patriots were in trouble.
