NPR's Liasson HEARTS McCain


Will the media's love affair with McCain ever end ??

Listen to this story yesterday from NPR's (and of Fox News) Mara Liasson here.

She spoon feeds some love to McCain using quotes from the administration's Romer who this past weekend said part of the economy's fundamentals are sound and budget dir Orzag's comments to Congress that taxing health benefits are on the table.

She then played clips from Obama during the campaign slamming McCain for those positions. And then her question to McCain is this: "DO YOU FEEL VINDICATED?"

You can contact the NPR Ombudsman here.

Are you kidding me?? What was McCain actually RIGHT about?

The economic fundamentals being sound quote from McCain was from the Fall last year when McCain would not admit that the economy was actually in a recession. Plus this new quote was not even from Obama, it was Romer.

Second, the Orzag quote was just from an admin person who did not wish to show a definitive position only to be slammed later for saying it was a definite no. So there was no committment TO tax benefits.

Then, after playing those, she asked McCain if he felt vindicated.

Vindicated for what? The economy WAS in a recession; he was wrong. And Obama has NOT agreed to tax health insurance benefits.

Perhaps Mara should spend less time on Fox News before she is removed from regular NPR segments just like Juan Williams ...

I don't see how anyone in good conscience can work for Fox News!

What's the point of this post?

Did you read it? Did you listen to the story?

Quick summary: Obama did not do the 2 things Liasson claims he did. And they do not "vindicate" McCain.

The press drools over itself trying to give good press granddaddy McCain.

There has come a time when it's no longer reasonable to trust these media people for news. Stop listening. Read a good newspaper. This endless criticism about such obvious idiocy has become entertainment for progressives. Turn off the radio. Turn off the T.V. Stop enjoying it so much.

Just like almost every freaking announcer on npr. It was disgusting during the primary and the election. Mrs. darth vader sure put her big ugly footprint on npr. Hopefully, things will change.

BTW, if you are as sick of Nice Republican Radio as I am, check out NPR Check (http://nprcheck.blogspot.com/), where folks with very strong stomachs dissect the biases and idiocies of NPR "news" on a regular basis.
