Word of Biden’s selection came too late for the evening network newscasts, many late local TV news shows and the deadlines of several East Coast newspapers. While all the media were able to catch up with the story on their websites, a paper like the Wall Street Journal had no VP story on its front page; papers like the New York Times had to run weasel-worded articles about how it might be Biden or someone else, and papers like Newsday and the Cleveland Plain Dealer urged readers to visit their websites to get the latest news.
With all due credit to ABC for the late-night Biden scoop, its inability to do much with the story demonstrates how lame the mainstream media can look in a situation like this.
A fine way to treat your friends!
Jim Pankiw should do a guest article. Anyone seen him lately?

Best of luck to him, but sports columnists are not exactly what is majorly wrong with the MSM these days, are they.
“Barack Obama’s veep text blast is ….. the greatest advance in political public relations since the fireside chat …”
We will see.
But he has just cut off the main propaganda arm of the Left, MSM.
Let’s hope the accumulated wisdom and life experience of Kos’s Kids persuades Obama’s team to cancel most of his TV advertising. Instead they should replace conventional TV spots with carefully crafted and HOT videos that are exclusively available as downloads from iTunes.
Let’s see if Obama can struggle his way up through the top ten list past the likes of Snoop Daddy Daddy and Puff Doggy (or what ever other orchestras the kids may be hip to these days).

FDR had a mutual love-hate relationship with the MSM of his day. today it is NOT the ‘propaganda arm of the left’. watch ‘Orwell Rolls in his Grave’:
