Hiatus

For the past 4 months, I have not made an entry into RealKansas. I have been otherwise occupied. Due to recent events, I am inspired to share my opinions about the treatment of Barack Obama by a news media that mindlessly parrots the statements of those in opposition to him, be they Hillary's Hangers-on or McCain's Misfits. But, wait, is the news media actually mindless? I suspect those who raise spurious, picayune issues about Obama are, in fact, supporters of either H or McM. And, it is possible that they merely reflect racist views. CNN is definitely in the Hillary camp. Fox News is certainly against Obama, although I'm not sure they support McCain. MSNBC is the most inconsistent: their pundits are cautious and their anchors simply read their producers' cue cards, as the latter attempt to fill air time with vacuity. The attacks on Obama, for whatever reason, deserve item-by-item analysis.
