Our Broken Media, Cont'd.


It's been clear for a while that Time's Mark "Drudge Rules Our World" Halperin has been in the tank for Sen. John Barbeque McSame. Last week, after the McSame campaign self-destructed over Phil Gramm's Americans are "whiners" statement, McSame's Social Security is "a disgrace", etc., Halperin declared the week was "won" by McSame. Sure, and the Nationals won the World Series last year.

Now, he's pushing McSame's late recognition that there might, just might, be a problem in Afghanistan/Pakistan that could use some extra troops. At the same time, Halperin pretends that Sen. Obama is just now shifting his position in recognition of that fact. Despite the public record to the contrary. Asshat.
