I have spoken to a lot of folks in PA in the last 48 hours. We have all been so upset at the media for their distortions about the SF comments, etc. People are asking themselves "why" reporters would do what they have. Why can't they just accept Obama's clarification? Why can't they accept that "clinging to religion" is not meant in a negative way, but rather as a positive, especially coming from one who has done exactly that very thing? Given, he misspoke in that he lumped together positives and negatives - religion with antipathy, etc., but it is clear to anyone who actually wants to see based on the facts of the man's life.
People see what they want to see, and reporters want to be famous for bringing down the famous Black guy who almost became President... these news outlets are as far from embodying the 4th Estate as ever in American history!
I would not be too worried about all this. As soon as they see that people are too smart for their attempts at steering this Primary all the way to Denver (their pathetic quest for ratings, money, and self-importance) and their manipulations, they will abandon this story for another.
We should never give too much weight to any of these news channels. Its a pathetic state of affairs.
