1. I see the MSM doing McCain's job, by replaying some of Joe's Primary comments.

2. Depends on what MSM your watching - MSNBC and Morning Joe...
Just had Richard Ben Cramer on, and he had me almost in tears talking about Biden, his family, and his life and times.
Joey Scar looks like a lobster this morning - so far I think it's been fair.

Poor Mika, she looks like a puppy that's been kicked around the room this morning.
I bet she's really happy to have to spend her Saturday working with this slime.

5. Actually, I give the MSM an A given their coverage so far.
By and large, they have been very complimentary of Biden and the qualities he brings to the ticket.

Imagine the narrative if he had picked Bayh (boring, safe choice...blah blah blah) or Clinton (can they get along, what about Bill, Obama was forced to put her on the ticket because of his sagging poll numbers...blah blah blah). Biden was the absolute best choice Obama could have made, and that's the way it's being reported.

6. Not qualified to vote in your poll, because DU is my media coverage
I'm happy to report that DU's coverage has thus far been stellar. I don't feel compelled to run for the boob tube and hear beautifully-coiffed talking heads droning on about some insipid tangent. I've got all I need here, thanks!
