creepy

A fellow has posted a list of the top ten things that creep him out about Barack Obama.

number 8 on the list is the one that has just been amazing to me watching this campaign, it seriously creeps me out:

8. It creeps me out that the press seems hypnotized by this guy. Grown men and women blubbering like babes when talking about how exciting he is, how mesmerizing he is when he speaks. It’s as if “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” has come to life and the pods have been placed in every newsroom in America. It isn’t just Crissy Mathews and MSNBC. It’s news anchors at CNN, reporters for Time and Newsweek, editorial writers at WaPo and the New York Times. Big media is in the tank for this guy in a big way. They have thrown off all semblance of fairness (never mind objectivity) and just don’t care that people know they are in Obama’s corner. They can’t be shamed into changing. They evidently won’t be deflected from doing their best to elect Obama.

This kind of thing causes the hairs on the back of my neck to prick up – like walking through a graveyard at midnight. It is just plain creepy – no other word for it.

For instance there was the guy who wrote this editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle. Was he joking? Is he embarrassed for himself at all?

Poor Hillary recognized this and fought as hard as she could to bust his hammerlock on the media’s affections, but without success.

    Does Obama receive more news coverage? sure. Does Obama deserve more news coverage. Hell yes. Case and point: Barack Obama delivers a speech in Berlin, Germany in front of 200,000 spectators. At the same time John McCain has lunch in Berlin, Pa. Which is more news worthy??? It’s not that hard to comprehend. The fact of the matter is Barack Obama is exciting and IS news. John McCain.. in a million years.. could NEVER get 200,000 people to watch him do ANYTHING.

    Bill,

    thanks for the comment. I am not talking about making news and being covered doing so. I am talking about the honorific, excited, non-questioning, suck up ism that dominates his fawning coverage. I am talking about Chris Matthews getting a thrill up his leg and that sort of thing.
