Bound by Hypocritic Oafs, O Media

"No, what I object to (and I think most other Americans do as well) is the lack of equivalent hardball coverage of the other side - or worse, actively serving as attack dogs for Senators Obama and Biden. If the current polls are correct, we are about to elect as President of the United States a man who is essentially a cipher, who has left almost no paper trail, seems to have few friends (that at least will talk) and has entire years missing out of his biography. That isn’t Sen. Obama’s fault: his job is to put his best face forward. No, it is the traditional media’s fault, for it alone (unlike the alternative media) has had the resources to cover this story properly, and has systematically refused to do so.
Why, for example to quote McCain’s lawyer, haven’t we seen an interview with Sen. Obama’s grad school drug dealer - when we know all about Mrs. McCain’s addiction? Are Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko that hard to interview? All those phony voter registrations that hard to scrutinize? And why are Senator Biden’s endless gaffes almost always covered up, or rationalized, by the traditional media?

Good questions, AA -- but how about a title (and perhaps also a link)? The only answer I have is that we are witnessing two simultaneous implosions (both self-inflicted): that of the free markets, and of the free press. With Pepe in the stands, ululating.

?? There is a title, AI, and the link [through the title] works fine for me... am I missing something?
Or is Pepe's ululation starting to fry my brain beyond even Nokia levels?

When I posted this message, there was no title, or link. After I pressed the button, the title and link had appeared, mirabile dictu! Wires must have gotten crossed in the ether.
