Isn't it hilarious that major news organization ABC is scrambling to cover for

Obama's little photo? I mean hell, to me it seemed like just a joke - but the fascinating part is look how ABC rushed to his defense with a video assuring us all that Obama is not a bum-looker.

And Yahoo! diligently ushered this defense to the front page.

I wonder why they never showed a video of that time when Obama wouldn't salute our nation's flag, why they never showed videos of his preacher Jeremiah Wright, why they never showed videos clearing up smears about Palin or McCain, or George Allen's macaca event.

No, it seems the media only rushes to our glorious leader's defense, doesn't it?

Makes me wonder if the press is doing the job they're SUPPOSED to be doing!

You're so wrong on most of your examples

The drive by media help put this nut job in office, and they are like all his followers. Try to cover for his stupid ass, and if this fails blame Bush.
A bunch of commie pigs.

How would Bush had fared with footage like that? The media would have made it a huge issue.

Maybe it has EVERYTHING to do with Bush Limpball's using his media pulpit in an attempt to distort the facts? Some media outlets will defend, when others prefer to distort and attack...seems fair to me. It's just too bad that you don't like being proven wrong...I, on the otherhand, LOVE IT!

Maybe because if you watch the video you will see that nothing is going on. Either way, who cares? This is a perfect example of why the republican party has issues. They take everything out of context, even photos.

Obama never refused to salute the flag, as evidenced by his saluting of the flag a gazillion times.

well, i would say because there's an entire network called fox news devoted to outright fabrications for conservatives, so other news agencies try to portray things the way they actually happen.
