Obama Speech: Any Fair and Balanced Left in the News?

If so, I can’t find it.

So Obama is done giving his speech, and I am flipping between MSNBC with Chris Matthews/Keith Oberman and FOX.

If Matthews and Oberman were any more up Obama’s ass – they would have been covered in sh*t. FOX on the otherhand, might has well have been burning pictures of Obama and were tearing apart every vocal inflection he made.

What ever happened to impartial news reporting? I remember growing up and feeling that I could believe anything the news people reported, because there was this integrity of impartial news reporting. Those days are gone.

If you were to flip, as I am right now, you would think the reporters watched 2 completely different speeches. You can’t argue the fact that Obama is a great public speaker, but why not simply highlight the points he made? No, of course not. Everyone needs to give their 2 cents as to what they took away from him.

But Keith Oberman? Really? Dude, you were on SportsCenter…please stop. Tell me what you think about Favre moving to the Jets, don’t interpret political language and positioning.

That was exhausting just to watch.

Clinton vs Biden: DNC Speech Hitmen

Tonight, two of the Democrats’ most vocal and vicious speakers will take the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. First to speak will be former President Bill Clinton, followed by vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden.

While it’s still up in the air what President Clinton will say in his speech (which wasn’t pre-approved by the Obama campaign), chances are he’ll come out swinging for his party and Barack Obama. Because he hasn’t said much leading up to the convention, this first-appearance of the general election campaign, I predict, will be used to lay the hurt on John McCain and his attacks in a way only a popular former President can do.

Cletus The Slackjawed Yokel Tries To Kill Obama

Fear the 21st Century mastermind killer. He comes armed, dangerous, and uncomfortably inbred-looking. Meet Nathan Johnson, Tharin Gartrell and Shawn Adolf, the “at least” three people arrested in Aurora, Colorado, suspected in a plot to kill presumptive (until Thursday) Democratic nominee for President, Sen. Barack Obama.

Though little has been reported or released to the public about the men, their motivations rang clear Monday, when they told CBS4 television station that they were, “going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a … rifle … sighted at 750 yards.”

Denver Homeless Being Sent to Zoo During Democratic National Convention

During next month’s Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, hundreds of the city’s homeless will be given movie tickets, passes to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the Denver Zoo in an attempt to spare them “being caught up in the mayhem” of the convention. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless will also be providing bus passes to get to events outside walking distance to facilitate the exodus. (more…)
