Mainstream Media Oblivious to Relevancy of Many Obama-gates

The dirty little secret about Barack Obama’s indictment of flyover country is that he said what liberals, including Hillary Clinton, believe. Sufficient proof of this can be found in the liberal outrage at Wednesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, where Obama was pressed both by the moderators and Clinton to explain Bitter-gate, Wright-gate, Ayers-gate and Flag pin-gate.
Consider the uncannily similar reactions of columnists Tom Shales and Stephen Silver.
Shales expressed indignation that ABC News moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos would dare ask Obama to justify his insulting remarks about small-town Americans and his relationships with certain anti-American people.
[...]
Columnist Silver is annoyed that Gibson and Stephanopoulos “asked shamefully superficial and gotcha-oriented questions” and for the first half of the debate dwelt only on “rehashes of the nonsense non-stories of the past month — it was all-Wright, all-’bitter,’ all-Bosnia sniper fire, all flag pin all the time.” These were all, wrote Silver, “questions about nothing.”
Silver characterized the recent stories about Obama’s association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers as “the sort of stuff that only right-wing bloggers and e-mail forwarders care about.”
Excuse the quotes, but nothing captures the sneering condescension of media liberals better than their own words.
SideBear: “Oblivious” is not a word I would use here. It is a concentrated effort by the left to cover-up the flaws of their candidates.
