The Old Media: Tough on Palin, Soft on Obama

AverageJoe is absolutely right–when will the Old Media grill Obama the way they do Palin? The answer is never. ABC News’ Charlie Gibson’s performance in his interview with Palin this week was despicable. More and more Americans realize the Old Media cannot be trusted to be professional, to be the hard-nosed journalists they should be in a presidential election to aid the American people in their decision come November. Americans realize they are partisan actors. They favor Democrats over Republicans. In their professional roles, they act as an arm of the Democratic Party–grilling Republicans while giving Democrats a pass. Thankfully, their power is in decline. It could not end soon enough to help the American people. New media have their problems, but they are far more honest and critical than many in the Old Media.
