Biden Ignored – Atlantic Blogger Slams Media

October 25th, 2008 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

“And here is where I am willing to say the media is giving Obama a pass on a bunch of stuff that they shouldn’t be … It’s ridiculous that no one is bringing up every time – every time Obama says anything about financial deregulation, Joe Biden’s history should be trotted out and it’s not and I’m not sure why.”

Megan McArdle, blogger for the Atlantic.

Watch the video; it is highly interesting that the other person there admits he “hates” Palin because of, what he considers to be, her “fake populism.” The “aw shucks,” “I’m just one of you” image.

That’s what he hates about Palin.

    Sorry Michael I could only stand a little of this. What was that previous conversation we had about intellectual elites?

PoliGazette Comments Policy

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
