Rather Pathetic, Honestly

So a writer at The Atlantic has started ragging on the LA Times for suppressing a video of Obama and Ayers at a party praising Rashid Khalidi and Charlie Gibson has decided he's going to start asking Obama some tough questions about his rather questionable fund raising operations.

Trouble is, the election is less than a week away. These questions have been swirling around the campaign for weeks and yet we've heard nothing. Now it is clear the press is desperately trying to write a record that they think will make them look bipartisan in the future. Four years from now, when someone implies that Charlie Gibson was in the tank for Obama, he'll say "no, no, look, I asked him some pretty tough questions." Nevermind, of course, that the election is less than a week away and Gibson obviously knows there's nothing anyone can do about corrupt fund-raising practices now.

Frankly, I think it's shallow and it reveals the press for what they really are: snakes who think the rest of this country is too stupid to figure out what they're really doing.
