Media fellatio for Obama

Has any candidate ever enjoyed more obsequious coverage than Obama got for his Tuesday "race" speech? If being lauded by the MSM is the standard by which such things are judged, it was a smash success.

Newsbusters caught "highlights" (lowlights?) of the media fawn-fest:

• Maggie Rodriguez of CBS "The Morning Show" called the Obama speech "a defining cultural moment in America."


• Janny Scott of the New York Times compared Obama's speech to speeches by Lincoln and JFK. (What? It wasn't good enough to earn a Sermon on the Mount comparison?)


• On ABC's "Good Morning America," host Robin Roberts said the Obama speech "was not only important for his campaign but also for the future of the country."


• On the "NBC Nightly News," reporter Lee Cowan gushed, "Barack Obama gave the most expansive and most intensely personal speech on race he's ever given."

Sad to think that Eliot Spitzer had to pay "Kristen" thousands of dollars, while these reporters are doing Obama for free.

Expect much more -- and much worse -- biased coverage if Obama gets the Democratic nomination. The MSM will portray Obama as a saint, and any Republican who dares question this portrayal will be treated like a hard-hearted hatemonger. The only reason ABC News ran the Rev. Wright story was as a favor to Team Hillary. But such criticism will end the moment Obama clinches the nomination -- if, indeed, he does.
