These were the same reporters who had a "hand off" approach to Obama in regards to anything negative concerning him while at the same time researched Palin constantly in order to find out things they could publicize.
Oh please. Obama was dug into just as much as Palin. Only difference being there really wasn't a whole lot of negative things in his past and present while Palin was revealed as the joke she is.
Oh really? Let's see...
The stuff about Rev Wright and Obama's connection to him was pretty much originally ignored, then brushed aside...
Obama's connection with the ACORN group also ignored then brushed off
In fact, just about everything negative concerning Obama was ignored by the mainstream media.
While everything about Palin was given front page press.
Did anyone on SNL regularly lampoon Obama? Were things said by a TV comedian pretending to be Obama get reported as if they were said by Obama like they were with Palin?
