Sanchez has spent most of the last hour re-running the Campbell Brown Smear Sarah Palin Who Us Bias Hour from last night. The beauty of this is they're about to have a segment debating whe has more experience: Palin or OBAMA! I just wouldn't have believed CNN could be this stupid if I hadn't seen it. Literally, it's like watching a herd of cattle stampede off a cliff. I thought that Obama supporters would stay the heck away from the experience issue, including their water-carriers in the MSM. Silly me, I really thought we were going to see magnification of every controversy of Palin's gubanatorial record, which has scarcely been mentioned in the middle of the screeching over her family life and her record in Wasilla. But no - having swallowed their own Kool-Aid that Obama is the Great One whom ordinary considerations of political experience cannot touch, they seem to have no fear of the subject. On the question of whether the general public is going to hear about Bill Ayers before election day: only if the MSM is forced to report it. Like they eventually were with the John Edwards story, that is, if the story is so 'out there' via other channels that Obama himself is forced to make a statement. Perhaps if McCain brings it up in the debates and Obama has to answer, perhaps then. Once Obama has to amend his previous statements ("guy in my neighborhood"), and it becomes an open point of controversy between Obama and McCain, then the press has to notice it. But they must be forced to do it. As long as the election remains close, the press will try to protect Obama. Though considering their present idiocy, that's no guarantee of security for him. Only if Obama is plainly going down by a landslide will the press try to save themselves by turning on Obama. Just my 2 cents, fwiw.
