CNN

Ahh.... Edgewood. The ghetto of Harford County.

It's not called a "slow-roll"!! It's called a "slow-creep" or just plain "creeping"!

I find Ms. Crowley's report (and most of the coverage of the President-elect) chilling.

I am becoming seriously concerned with the news media's coverage of President-elect Obama (blame directed at the media NOT at Sen. Obama). "Objectivity" – the claim during the Bush years – has made way to "advocacy" for President Obama (his policies and appointments).

This trend cannot be a good thing – nobody is as wise or perfect as most in the media are promoting our new President.

The role of the news media is to raise questions and to deny the popular urge to get lost in the swell of emotion and adulation.

Wasn't this abdication of responsibility a critical factor in the American population's initial support of the Iraq war? We need the news media to raise questions that will help inform us of the strengths, weaknesses, and consequences of particular decisions and policies of the new administration.

The American public needs the news media to move toward objectivity and away from advocacy if we are going to continue to be a land of opportunity, liberty, and hope.

I can understand the neo-cons dislike for "Obamania". Obama will be an inspiring President.

So, the bible beaters are forgiven if they do not understand inspiration, since it has not been exhibited in the last 8 years.
