Quote of the day, “Obama asks MSM to tithe at His altar” edition

Heh…deal with it, MSM.  From Ed Morrissey:

The best-funded political campaign in American history says news organizations will have to pay—in some cases almost $2,000 each—if they want to cover Barack Obama’s election-night celebration in Chicago.

Well, that’s only fair. If Obama winds up getting elected because of the cheerleading of the national media –who vetted a plumber more harshly than a major-party candidate for President — they should start paying before the rest of us pony up.

A memo sent to news organizations on Tuesday by the Obama campaign says credentials will cost $715 to $1,815, depending on whether electrical and phone lines are needed and whether an indoor or outdoor seat is requested for the event, which is expected to be held outside the evening of Nov. 4 in Grant Park.

A little advice for my colleagues in the Tanning Bed Media: think of it as spreading the wealth. Yes, I know it will go to Obama and his team, but that’s where the rest of the wealth will go, too, if Obama wins.

While some may view the Obamessiah as biting the hand that feeds Him, I view it differently: the MSM is suffering from Battered Spouse Syndrome.  The One can beat the everloving crap out of his MSM minions, and they will continue to adore and defend Him.
