Media in Love with Obama? No Way

Anybody who thinks Barack Obama has been getting a free pass from the so-called media, hasn't been reading The New York Times for months or missed "Saturday Night Live" the last couple of weeks. The Times has let its endorsement of Hilary Clinton slip into its biased coverage of Obama, looking for any grain of a story about him that might tarnish his White House run. Remember the front page story a couple of weeks ago, exploring Obama's drug use -- something he has written extensively about in his memoirs -- that had nothing new to say. Meanwhile, if Clinton pulls out a double upset, with big wins in Texas and Ohio tomorrow, no doubt pundits will be pointing to the "Saturday Night Live" factor -- the bit two weeks ago about lampooning fawning press coverage of Obama and her appearance last weekend -- as the beginning of her second coming as the comeback kid.
