    You mean people have gotten "passes" in years past?

    Quote:

    As for the notion that the press treats Obama too uncritically, Douglass told the New York Times, "I think my former colleagues in the press have been quite tough on him and I think they've done good strong enterprise reporting ... I don't think anybody’s been given a pass this year."

    So candidates have gotten "passes" before? Like in 2000 and 2004?
