Obama Entourage Includes Big 3 Alphabet Anchors

Posted on July 19, 2008

Media outlets have been plush with stories in the past couple of days touting Barack Hussein Obama’s rock-star sized entourage as he makes his media event tour of the Middle East and Europe. But what one must remember when reading about Mr. Obama’s inflated entourage of cheerleaders is the fact that the anchors of the big 3 alphabet networks are included in this bunch of groupies.

From NewsBusters.org:

Toward the end of the lead story on Friday’s CBS Evening News about Barack Obama embarking on a trip to the Middle East and Europe, Jeff Greenfield acknowledged: “This saturation coverage has already led the conservative blogosphere to offer blistering critiques of a liberal media slavishly treating Obama as a pop star.” But, Greenfield assured anchor Katie Couric, who, along with Brian Williams and Charles Gibson, will accompany Obama, “the sheer presence of media in no way guarantees favorable coverage. In some ways, it makes the possibility of a misstep that much more dangerous.” That prompted a worried Couric to wonder: “What do you think is the biggest potential landmine for him?”

This is the biggest load of male bovine droppings that I’ve ever read. Especially once you put foreign travel made by the Presidential candidates in context.
