I’ve gotta give credit to Andrea Mitchell for telling it like it is to Chris Matthews last night about how Obama keeps getting away with not being available to the press. He just puts out what Mitchell rightly calls “fake interviews.” It IS pretty bizarre that Obama continually treats reporters with contempt, only to have them fawn over him more and more and more. The Saturday Night Live skit is correct (notable and honorable exceptions like Andrea Mitchell aside): The media’s love affair with Obama is treacly, pathological, embarrassing and sickening. I won’t send the political-correctness mavens haywire by making what to me seems an obvious comparison, so WITHOUT using the psychological term that often describes this, it seems to me as if most of the establishment media are like the kind of person to clings all the more tightly to somebody the more that someone disrespects and even abuses them. Remember when Obama got testy after answering all of eight questions? By now, every media outlet in the land ought to be demanding full press conferences by the Obamaessiah, PLUS at least a few of the series of joint town hall meetings that the lying politician earlier had indicated he would do with McCain. The truth, as Mitchell noted, is that this guy is the least accessible, and the most scripted, presidential nominee in modern history.
