A highlight of my weekend, on CNN’s Reliable Sources:
KURTZ: Actually, there was a numerical impact of that beyond the symbolism of the champion of the white working class throwing his weigh behind Obama. Let me turn to Jim Geraghty. McClatchy Newspapers has quoted Barack Obama just the other day as saying this about Fox News — “Fox has been pumping up rumors about my religious beliefs or my patriotism and what have you since the beginning of the campaign.” I notice that Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs the other day called Bill O’Reilly, who’s trying to get Obama on the show, a bully. GERAGHTY: Yes. I find it baffling. You know, the guy who will sit down with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won’t sit down with some Fox anchors. But I think there’s a solution. Since Obama doesn’t think he’s going to be treated fairly by Fox, sit down for an interview with O’Reilly and just do it live. Just do it live! Do it live!
We also addressed the Washington Post’s story on Obama volunteers encountering racism, whether the media downplayed West Virginia’s results, and Jamie Rubin getting caught holding back half of his interview with McCain.
