I got into a brief conversation with a dude the other day about politics...well, more like the media's coverage of politics. He didn't totally defend Fox, he acknowledged their bias, but then branded CNN biased for the other "side". I really have to disagree. Other than Jack Cafferty, they've pretty much beaten the war drum along with Fox. If you're going to make the argument, it would have to be MSNBC, but they still have tools like Joe Scarborough.

In the discourse of all that is political, partisan hacks will get cornered by flawed logic then claim you're being partisan when you trap them. My girlfriends at the mall still say, "what-ever".

With that obtuse introduction, watch the video or read the transcript to the latest Special Comment by Keith Olbermann. Listen to the logic of what he's saying and call him "partisan". Has Obama made the claims McCain has? No. If he did then I would expect responsible media to call him on it, just as Olbermann does here.

And for new readers of the blog (!), I'm not an Obama Kool-Aid Drinker. This makes me sigh. And I'll be voting for Cynthia McKinney.
