Chris Matthews gets a feeling running up his leg when Barack Obama talks. The press has gone all-in for the most liberal candidate to ever run for President. There are still some, but not many, with professional ethics and clear heads.

Michael Malone is a veteran journalist who just can’t take it any longer. The press corp is so blatantly cheering for Obama that he is embarrassed to tell strangers what he does for a living. (LINK)

A few days ago, when asked by a new acquaintance what I did for a living, I replied that I was “a writer”, because I couldn’t bring myself to admit to a stranger that I’m a journalist.

Speaking of the bias

But nothing, nothing I’ve seen has matched the media bias on display in the current Presidential campaign.  Republicans are justifiably foaming at the mouth over the sheer one-sidedness of the press coverage of the two candidates and their running mates.

The power of the press was enhanced when the McCain/Feingold Law was passed. How long will it be before talk radio and bloggers are attacked by the Justice Department under laws created by anti-first amendment advocates in the Democratic Party? This is scary stuff. Will I soon find myself in court defending my words written here?
