    Default Ralph and Chris get passes from the media

    Ralph Nader says Obama has to be careful not to behave like an "Uncle Tom" and the media doesn't bother to report it. Except for Fox News, of course.

    Chris Matthews ( whom I like and respect btw) says it is his "Job" to "support Obama" and see that he has a successful Presidency. Nobody is bothered by the voluntary surrender of anything resembling independence or impartiality. Only on MSNBC.

    I guess the question is - Do you consider Matthews a "journalist" or a "commentator"? A commentator doesn't have to be impartial.

    And he presents himself as a newsman.

    Here's what really annoys me about some of this stuff. Imagine if Ron Paul or Bob Barr had said : " Obama has a choice between being Uncle Sam or being an 'Uncle Tom' for the Autoworkers and Moveon.org people." It would be front page news. The fact that Barr or Paul are just as irrelevant as Nader is wouldn't matter a bit.
