The press is so totally in the tank for the Obama-Biden ticket. “My homeboy”?
What kind of an example does this set for young journalists?
Adorable. He did a good job. But I kept worrying that this would turn into a segment from a program called Wonder Showzen: Beat Kids.
I haven’t been watching the Olympics, mainly because the rabbit-ears on our television don’t pick up NBC.
