That is a great post, whoever came up with it. It is totally obvious that the woman has a conflict. Her response, "Just see how I do", is totally inadequate -- for a couple of reasons -- a) After it is done it doesn't matter. There is no backing up, and b) How she does totally doesn't matter. If there is a conflict of interests, a performance that is judged to be impartial does not change the existence of the conflict of interests. While she is clearly a liberal, so is practically every other mainstream journalists -- you're not going to find many who aren't in the tank for Obama. Jim Lehrer's idea of "not allowing political bumper stickers" is nice, but really doesn't eliminate the bias, it just hides it better. Sean Hannity is absolutely correct when he said journalism is dead. We are now in the mode of allowing a small, extreme leftist subset of residents to pick our elected officials. Pathetic but true.

I really think the boldness with which these liberal personalities like Matthews, Olbermann, Campbell Brown, Cafferty, and others, are expressing their leftist views suggests that something new is going on with the media. In the past, they at least tried to present some reasonable element of fairness. Take Tim Russert, for example -- clearly a liberal, but ALWAYS making an effort to pose tough questions to both sides. There is none of that now. Even O'Reilly, whom many think is conservative, was enamored with Obama and didn't hold his feet to the fire on tough questions like his relationships with terrorists. I even thought Stephanopolis was trying until I saw him, almost without thinking, correct Obama's reference to his "Muslim faith". Even if I agreed with Obama's politics I would vote against him in the interest in protecting our democracy. Because the lack of an objective press is a huge threat to it.
