What? No mainstream media covering this? Shocking!

How many more years will pass until mainstream media stops covering this crap up?

I'd say never. Tucker Carlson's blog, The Daily Caller, just posted a story on how the media coordinated media fixing to the damaging association of Rev. Jeremiah Wright with Obama.

"In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

"I do not endorse a Popular Front, nor do I think you need to. It’s not necessary to jump to Wright-qua-Wright’s defense. What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously I mean this rhetorically."

Or, take the outright racist slur used by Warren Ballentine in a recent discussion with Juan Williams, a moderate liberal, "it's OK, you can go back to the porch, Juan."

The strategy is clear. The debate is over. If you oppose them, you are an uncle tom, or a racist, closet KKK, degenerate homophobe and a liar.
