Sen. Obama making hay, MSM making mud pies

Many times when I want to ‘spress myself, I can link up with a poster or diarist who has already said what I want to say. I do, however, want to say it my way. Such is the case with this post I am using to launch my post: Sen. Obama makes hay while the MSM makes mud pies.

Reflecting on my youth, when we were at play, there was usually a group, usually girls, who were busy making mud pies. The boys would be playing tag, riding our skate boards or the like and invariably when anyone passed by the girls, they would offer you some of their mud pies. Their talk amongst themselves was probably of the frivolous nature, nothing of consequence really and very much like what our MSM has become and especially in relations to Sen. Obama; deep into concerns, talking about nothing.

Excerpt:
The love, it seems, is over. But so what? The end of a media affair with a politician shouldn't be a time of mourning, anger, and despair. It is a time that should be celebrated because it means the media has regained its senses. Perhaps, finally, the media will focus on voting records and campaign platforms instead of trivialities like flag pins.

And
The problem isn't that the press is in the bag for Obama or McCain, though both are true depending on the time and the respective newspaper or network. The problem is that the media has forgotten what objectivity means. Objectivity isn't harping on ridiculous trivialities in both camps. Objectivity is seeing past the spin game and finding the real story (FISA, Iran, energy independence, and the economy).
