First, Michelle Obama made the statement the , “for the first time in her adult life, I am really proud of my country….” To begin with most media outlets and pundits leave out the words “adult” and “really”. Why? Without the words “adult”and “really” in the comment it seems to have a more ominous meaning. She is being misquoted and no one wants to correct the error. Why?
Now how about Mccain. It appears that he is getting a free ride on his comment in the past, “…I did not love America until I was deprived of her company……” Why is this not reported? Or how about a recent phone interview where he said, “……that it is tough at times to love the US……” (I paraphrase here).
Where is the pundit outcry over these statements, you know, something in the neighborhood of those aimed at Michelle Obama? There is none that I have seen or heard. Without equal coverage of this then I would think that McCain is getting a free ride from the media. You know the same thing that some are saying that Obama is getting.
Has the media signed on to the McCain campaign? Maybe not all, but most, that is.
