The majority of the national media has overwhelmingly prostrated itself before Barack Obama's candidacy, and willingly suffered both contempt from the Obama campaign and the shredding of what had remained of its reputation with the public. To what end?
Jay Tea makes a powerful analogy.
Ever since he first announced his candidacy, Obama has enjoyed tremendous support from the press. They've touted him, glorified him, praised him, and covered for him. They've also fought his battles for him, taking on such presumptuous upstarts like "Joe the Plumber" and Stanley Kurtz and anyone else who dares risk embarrassing Obama so he won't have to sully his saintly hands.And in return, how has this slavish devotion worked out for them?
Ask any woman in a relationship with an abusive man.
This election year is becoming more and more like a sad, bizarre addendum to Atlas Shrugged. Only a McCain victory stands between us and a dangerous future.
