Ron Fournier's Brand of Associated Press Coverage: Bash Obama, Praise McCain
'An Associated Press analysis of Barack Obama's widely praised (across the political spectrum) speech last Thursday drew much criticism from liberals and media critics last week for its dour tone. Would the AP offer the same kind of muted response to Sarah Palin's big address on Wednesday night? Not exactly. The article by Tom Raum and Liz Sidoti opened: "Sarah Palin delivered. An embattled vice presidential candidate, a novice on the national stage, the head of a family suffering its 'ups and downs,' the first-term Alaska governor rocked the GOP convention with a star-turning performance."'

OMG! There is finally a story not calling Palin a backwoods buffoon?
Seriously, I'm surprised. With ABC, CBS, NBC & MSNBC in the tank for Obama, one would just assume all the print media was as well.
Did they call her a "star"? Careful with that. Sarah Palin is a backwoods buffoon.
Wow,
You've found out the one journalist who is NOT a sychophant for Obama and then you complain about it?!! I'm sorry the fellow has an actual working cerebellum and can think for himshelf unlike everyone else that just prostrates themselves at the very mention of HIS name…
Sorry folks, an evil bigoted old cow is an evil bigoted old cow, no matter how you dress her up.
