David Brooks back to being in awe of Obama

Oh brother. Just days after writing a column expressing his disappointment with Barack Obama, admitting that our new President was “not who we thought he was, ” Brooks pens another column today in which he’s back in fawning mode. Why? Because after his column, he talked to four – count ’em – four “senior members of the administration” about the claims made in his column. The result? After the first several paragraphs reading like something you’d find on BarackObama.com, and throwing a few obligatory “I still think they’re taking things too far on certain issues” lines, Brooks lovingly added:.....   [Read More]

If there’s even the slightest shred of doubt within any of you …

… regarding CNN’s liberal bias, this write-up by Tim Graham at Newsbusters on their “that was then, this is now “attitude on “head-butting debate shows” should clear things up for you quite a bit.
