Howard Kurtz: Media Critic?

Al Franken once said that the easiest job in the world was being a fact-checker for Rush Limbaugh, and today we learn that the second easiest job is being a media critic for the Washington Post.  Here's Howard Kurtz on:

Why the Press Turned on Obama

And for an explanation, Kurtz goes to another media critic:

There was so much talk about him getting such an easy ride that some journalists got tired of it.

You may be asking yourself when those journalists are going to get tired of all the talk about the easy ride they're giving McCain.  Apparently not until "Saturday Night Live" does a skit.  

...journalists were stung by a pair of "Saturday Night Live" skits that portrayed them as in the tank for Obama.

And if that challenge to their journalistic integrity wasn't enough, Obama wanting to eat his breakfast without interruption helped create:

... the growing media perception of Obama as aloof.

So there you have it.  A comedy show and a waffle was all it took to energize the media into bringing Obama "back to earth."   If only "Saturday Night Live" would do a skit about the media's lack of coverage of John McCain...heck, the actors wouldn't even have to act.
