- Obama raises $52M in June, setting torrid new pace
  Posted by Jeff from Associated Press
  WASHINGTON (AP) -- Though he's raking in the cash so far, Barack Obama's decision to forgo public funds for the fall campaign means he must keep up his torrid pace - a tall order that will tax his time, test his Internet support and require the help of Democratic donors who once wished for his defeat....

- Political Cortex: "The New Yorker" Cartoon: The Jokes on the People
  Posted by Villagenyc from politicalcortex
  The "New Yorker" cover page makes fun of the sad fact that vast swaths of voters actually believe that the Obama's depicted in the cartoon are real. But, it also shines a light on the units of the media machine that have inadvertently helped perpetuate the rumors and innuendo that have led to misperceptions about the Obama's patriotism.

- Obama Campaign Hurting Late Night Comedians
  Posted by Jeff from International Herald Tribune
  "There has been little humor about Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique. And within a late-night landscape dominated by white hosts, white writers, and overwhelmingly white audiences, there has been almost none about his race. ... "We're carrion birds," said Stewart, "We're sitting up there saying 'Does he seem weak? Is he dehydrated yet? Let's attack.' ... So far, our take is that he's positioning himself to be on a coin." Colbert said he had been freer to poke fun at Obama than other late-night hosts because "my character on the show doesn't like him. I'm expected to be hostile to him." Maher, who is host of a politically oriented late-night show on HBO, said, "If you can't do irony on the cover of The New Yorker, where can you do it?"

- How to sell magazines 101: New Yorker Cover Shows Muslim, Flag-Burning, Osama-Loving Obama
  Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post
  Who knows if they'll get this in Dubuque, but they sure aren't going to like it in Chicago: This week's New Yorker cover features an image of Michelle and Barack Obama that combines every smeary right-wing stereotype imaginable: An image of Obama in a turban and robes fist-bumping his be-afro'd wife, dressed in the military fatigues of a revolutionary and packing a machine gun and some serious ammo. Oh yes, this quaint little scene takes place in the Oval Office, under a picture of Osama bin Laden above a roaring fireplace, in which burns an American flag. All that's missing is a token sprig of arugula.

McCain takes 5-point lead over Obama

I also agreed completely with Nathalie’s initial remark. Everything I said can be verified, as well. Polling provides data that needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. Questions are very carefully worded and sometimes the samples are carefully fudged.
Of course, the results are equally carefully interpreted.
As far as the other remarks, well… Since all expressions of political opinion are "partisan attacks" then yes, that’s what it was.

I made an unaligned observation, whose content can be verified. Koroth made a partisan attack with no substantiation other than "I believe."

Very true, however Zogby is more reliable than polls from the news agencies. CBS in particular, I believe, does very poor polling.
That McCain is pulling ahead of Obama, despite the love affair (and resulting free publicity) of the press for Obama really shows how lacking in substance Obama really is.
I’m sure CNN and the others will do their best to overcome that issue.

You can’t trust the Zogby polls because their methodology includes self-selected participants. Always consider others when assessing.

Liberal bloggers want to say 'bye' to Bayh

Ya know, it seems to me that if Obama’s talkings about bringing people together was anything other than total BS he’d grab a staunch conservative as Veep. The Veep would have no power, beeing a Veep, but would probably grab quite a few votes from McCain.
It’d probably make for some intererest discussions on the Oval Office.

Dana Milbank quits Olbermann over disputed Obama quote

I agree. Have you ever read Michael Chrichton’s book Airframe? it has a subplot in which the media take a few facts way out of context in their desire to get the killer story.
Woldn’t it be nice to read a newspaper and believe that the front page articles weren’t editorials? I used to believe that, a long time ago. Thank goodness for the rise of the alternatives.

I tend to agree. It appears that many reporters are more likely to exagerate the news in an attempt to gain attention. There is more garbage (sensationalism) being presented and very little in the war of factual news reporting. There is very little factual and non-biased news being reported. It appears that most are opinionated. Opinions only belong on the editorial page.
