Anyone who thinks they know anything about US politics based on the coverage given by the US mainstream media should urgently read this article. Jamison Foser is always excellent in his media analysis, and nowhere more so than here.

One campaign is talking bilgewater (e.g., and from a long long list, Iran is accused of aiding Sunnis), and much of the mainstream media is basically stenographing this crap. The other campaign is trying to make this a proper debate about the future the US -- and the world -- should have. The first campaign is whingeing about unfair media treatment, despite the facts on the ground. The second is saying little on the subject.

See? I'm not biased. I'm not saying which campaign is which.

"She's currently claiming that Obama attracted only 20,000 Berliners. Wonder why?"

Probably because she's very stupid. I imagine she's trying to claim it was the 200,000 figure came from the Obama camp. In fact it was the estimate of the German police.

Besides, you only have to look at the photos to see that this was a truly major crowd.

That last is true. I'm constantly amazed at la Malkin and her kind.
