A little slow on the uptake

Former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers notices something that has been pretty evident for a while, that the media are totally in the tank for Senator Obama:

Tomorrow, CBS’s Katie Couric will interview Barack Obama from Jordan. On Wednesday, ABC’s Charlie Gibson will chat with him from Israel. And on Thursday, NBC’s Brian Williams will do the honors from Germany. Call it the presidential campaign equivalent of Shooting the Moon…Is the Media Trying to Elect Obama?

Duh. Howard Kurtz noticed it (“Obama’s excellent adventure”) too.

UPDATE

In an interview which deserves its own post, and belies a bit the hagiography referred to above, Katie Couric did a good job of letting Senator Obama make his (in our opinion incomprehensible) case against the surge, and, in turn, letting Senator McCain make his argument. A good debate by proxy, not that many Americans apparently care about such serious foreign policy issues anymore..
