As NewsBusters has been reporting since early August, mainstream media members predictably gushed over author Ron Suskind's allegations that the Bush administration ordered the CIA to forge a letter showing a connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. On Friday, both the CIA and its former director George Tenet refuted this and other claims Suskind made in his book "The Way of the World."…

While mainstream media members do a collective standing ovation for presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama's choice for his running mate, something seems desperately wrong with their reports. After all, they're supposed to be the great supporters of women's issues and equal rights.This obvious hypocrisy has gone largely unnoticed as liberal reporter after liberal reporter jumped…

As NewsBusters reported earlier, the Associated Press's Ron Fournier published a surprisingly accurate analysis of presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama's decision to tap Joe Biden as his running mate. Not surprisingly, the far-left organization MoveOn -- never happy when a mainstream media outlet has the nerve to actually say anything bad about a liberal -- has posted a strongly…

I'm starting to wonder if Barack Obama and Joe Biden drank a little champagne to celebrate their partnership before speaking to the crowd Saturday in Springfield, Illinois.First, Obama introduced his running mate as "The next president." Then, Biden -- maybe over-compensating for his desire not to call the junior senator from Illinois "Osama" -- actually called him "Barack America!"I kid you not…

Hailing Barack Obama's attacks on John McCain's foreign policy as “profound” with “the fire I've been waiting for,” during live MSNBC coverage Saturday afternoon of Obama introducing running mate Joe Biden, Chris Matthews was pleased “he finally took on John McCain on the issue of our time, which is Russia” as “he used the word bluster twice.” Matthews then smeared John McCain and conservatives…

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has positioned himself as the champion of the poor and all those that can't afford health insurance.Maybe he should direct his efforts to the hospital his wife Michelle works for, as it appears the University of Chicago Medical Center "steers patients who don't have private insurance -- primarily poor, black people -- to other health care…

Here's something you don't see every day: an Associated Press writer actually publishing something negative about a Democrat...let alone one named Obama.But, there it was Saturday, with a headline even more curious: "Analysis: Biden Pick Shows Lack of Confidence." The Obamessiah lacks confidence? Such wrote Ron Fournier (emphasis added, photo courtesy AP):

The liberals have already come up with their excuse for why Barack Obama might lose the election in November. It wouldn't be because of his inexperience, poor judgement, or far left political views. No, the real reason according to Slate's Jacob Weisberg is racism. The proposition is put in the title of his article, "If Obama Loses," with his answer given in the subtitle, "Racism is the Only…

ABC's Jake Tapper has exposed an interesting campaign finance factoid concerning presumptive Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden that should get a lot of attention if media are going to fairly cover the political history of the Delaware senator.As Tapper posted moments ago at his "Political Punch" blog, Biden doesn't share the same supposed disdain for lobbyist cash as his presumptive…

Well, well. The portion of Joe Biden's Wikipedia entry relating to his 1988 presidential campaign has been worked over a bit. Specifics relating to his undergraduate grades have strangely disappeared. There are other subtle changes as well.Comparison pics are after the jump.

As my colleague Mark Finkelstein reported Saturday, the racial slurs/gaffes of Sen. Joe Biden have already been discussed as "one of his strengths."Despite this surprising segment on Saturday's special edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," one has to wonder just how much coverage the various racially insensitive remarks by the Delaware Senator are going to get in the coming days as press members…
