The NewsBusters Weekly Recap: January 20 to 26

As the 2008 campaign heats up, members of the mainstream media are having trouble deciding between their old favorite (Hillary) and the new flame (Obama). Both CNN and ABC leapt to the defense of Senator Barack Obama after he was accused of attending an Islamic madrassah as a child. (Of course, ABC once devoted an entire episode of "Nightline" to murky allegations that George W. Bush did coke as a younger man.)

But perhaps Obama should be a little worried. The "Early Show" demonstrated exactly why Hillary is still the media’s favorite. Over on MSNBC, Chris Matthews told Hillary Clinton that "ideologues on the right" were responsible for the death of her famous health care plan.

ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos asked another 2008 candidate, Bill Richardson, if, as president, he would please just raise taxes.

Regarding the current Commander in Chief, the "Today" show wondered if anyone is still listening to Bush.

Meanwhile, the Vice President fought back against CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. At one point, he told the anchor, "You’re out of line."

Finally, the always reliable Rosie O’Donnell called (again) for Bush’s impeachment.
