Obama’s team obviously thinks it rules the world.  Well, except for FNC and The Drudge Report.  Oh, and the RNC.  And anyone who dares question them is associated with one of these organizations or paid by them. 

Good news: Megyn Kelly was on a roll today!   Bad news: You have to listen to Bill Burton again.  Ugh.  First, she takes on Mr. Burton over the allegation that the new tape of Obama from 2001 that has surfaced is the doing of FNC and Drudge Report and is not pertinent to the current campaign.  He contends it means NOTHING even though Obama speaks of redistribution back then.  Yeah, he says that.

Then, Michael Brown is taken down by both Michelle Malkin and Megyn Kelly.  He does, however, take the opportunity to say that the RNC was writing the Florida reporter’s questions AND that the local stations are being paid by the right.  Wow.

Once again, attack the questioner, a la Joe the Plumber.  I have never heard so much complaining about FNC and Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity by a campaign and the candidate itself.  If McCain were to run around the country arguing that MSNBC had caused him to be 5 points down, he’d be called senile (not like he already isn’t).  Palin complains about the MSM in general, but she has opened up more and more, more than the Obama / Biden ticket, who haven’t had a press conference in a month. 

McCain’s campaign wrote one letter to NBC after their bias came to a head with anchor / reporter Andrea Mitchell questioning if McCain cheated during the Saddleback forum.  He didn’t ban them.  He didn’t threaten them.  McCain’s camp cancelled one interview with CNN after Campbell Brown questioned Palin’s judgement of running for VP knowing her daughter was pregnant.  The campaign has been back to CNN since, with little change apparently. 

After the disatrous Couric interview, Palin took her lumps.  She said she thought some of the questions, like the one about what she reads, were meant to put her down.  But, she apologized for her flippant answer and took the chance in an interview with Carl Cameron to fix some things.  She didn’t demean Couric for the questions she asked.  She gave better answers and apologized for the previous ones.  And if you’ve seen her interviews since, it’s like day and night.

It boggles my mind that Obama and Biden have the audacity to think the scope of their power encompasses the media, and they don’t have to answer tough questions.  Can you imagine if a foreign leader had asked Biden a tough question and he answered with, “Are you joking? Is this a joke?”  I can picture Biden telling that to Chavez right now.
