A couple of journalist-types had the temerity to reveal media bias in columns published this month.

Orson Scott Card, himself a Democrat, chastised the main stream media (rightfully, some of us would say) for being in the tank for the Obama campaign since they blamed the Republicans for the country’s current financial crisis.

Michael Malone laid the blame for media bias at the door of editorial boards everywhere in this lengthy column.

Back in April, Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times had this article about Obama’s ties to Rashid Khalidi. Apparently he’s viewed as a moderate but, according to this article, “many of Khalidi's opinions are troubling to pro-Israel activists….” According to Gateway Pundit, the Los Angeles Times has a video of an event where Obama toasted the “former PLO operative” but Wallsten says he isn’t planning on releasing it. Is he suffering from a severe case of media bias? Khalidi’s Wikipedia article has an interesting note: “This page is currently protected from editing until November 3, 2008 or until disputes have been resolved.”

Oh, here’s the Patrice Lewis link I screwed up yesterday.

One week until the election. This fat lady isn’t singing yet.
