Media Follies

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell states the obvious about the media bias in favor of Obama.

Of course the bias wasn't because the media were enamored with the junior senator from Illinois but instead it was to con voters to pick the weakest candidate to go up against their choice, John McCain.

Rendell, an ardent Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter during the primaries, now backs Obama in the general election. Brokaw and Rendell began debating campaign coverage, including the on-air comments by Lee Cowan, and when MSNBC came up, Rendell went after the cable network.

“MSNBC was the official network of the Obama campaign," Rendell said, who called their coverage "absolutely embarrassing."

To say nothing of Keith Olbermann, perhaps the worst offender of all.
