It is already all over ABC and Politico (both are moderately conservative media outlets), and I suspect Fox (which I cannot stomach, but is very predictable) is also running a series of articles that are over-focused on driving a wedge between the Clinton and Obama camps within the Democratic Party. I fully expect them to try to drive this wedge as deep and wide as they can, even if they have to fabricate outright lies when they run out of trivial crap to over-emphasize. I expect the McCain campaign will continue fabricating outright lies all week too, and to focus on these alleged wedge issues within the Democratic Party.
Sigh. Until the American public starts thinking through the lies, and voting accordingly, these sort of repeat-the-lie-until-the-ignorant-voter-thinks-it-is-true campaigns will continue to work, and so long as they work, they will be applied over and over again until we are all sick to our stomachs of hearing the lies.
Take your antacids or stomach lining glop of choice; because the smear machine is just getting started.

I have little problem with the media “covering” news is such reality exists and it should be covered as such. If people are protesting in the streets or if delegates on the floor wish to cheer for Clinton I would characterize that as “news” given the MSNBC pundits own decree of “party unity” for the Democrats.
It is in the interpretation of “news” that we allow pundits to place their own ideological spin or as I see it “political entertainment” and all the networks have gotten very skilled at such. Seems to me we now have two big soap boxes; MSNBC/NBC/CBS on the one hand and FOX on the other. Now, radio is an entire different story which is why the clamps will be secured on that medium with the fairness doctrine or controlled speech doctrine depending upon how one sees it. Pardon me Patrick Henry I did not mean to cause you to roll over in your grave.
