Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.
By Gary Kamiya [2008-03-25]

  • What about Joan Walsh?

    You condemn the "mainstream media" for their treatment of this story but you pass on criticizing Salon's editor Joan Walsh, for continuing to push this story in support of Hillary's candidacy. And how many more articles are coming from Salon on a "story" that revolves around Obama's pastor's words while only War Room briefs are written about the words actually coming out of the mouths of his rivals: the growing list of Hillary's lies padding her slim resume or McCain's words showing he doesn't understand the political situation in the middle East? Two much more important factors in choosing a President but they are almost ignored while Salon joins the right-wing media machine in keeping this story alive as long as possible (even though 70% in polls accept Obama's explanation). Why Salon? Orders from above?
