AP, Fox News Offer Fair and Balanced Distortion of Obama's Speech
From Indecision 2008…
If you didn’t already believe that extremist news organizations like PBS and C-SPAN spin the news three ticks to the left of Trotsky, they reached the final straw last night when they had the gall to air the wrong Barack Obama speech to homes across the nation!
Well let’s put it this way, they certainly weren’t broadcasting the speech witnessed by AP political analyst Charles Babington.
Babington‚Äôs report– which strangely enough was available on the FOX News website but not on those of its competitors– fairly and balanced-ly declared…
Barack Obama, whose campaign theme is "change we can believe in," promised Thursday to "spell out exactly what that change would mean."
But instead of dwelling on specifics, he laced the crowning speech of his long campaign with the type of rhetorical flourishes that Republicans mock and the attacks on John McCain that Democrats cheer.
Babington was promptly slammed by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, who noted that Obama specifically detailed twenty-nine policy proposals while delineating clear differences between himself and McCain.
But later on MSNBC, Pat Buchanan revealed he had also watched the spin-cycled Obama speech that Babington had avoided, as evidenced by the fact that he couldn’t stop raving about it.
Which leads us to the unthinkable: With Buchanan now officially in the Communist fold, could it be that Charles Babington is the only Fair and Balanced journalist left on the planet??
Oh pffew, there’s still David Brooks.
