Memo to networks: Obama’s not President, yet

Not that NBC, ABC, and CBS have covered any of Bush’s recent overseas trips with the fervor and intensity that they intend to cover St. Obama’s Pilgrimage to the Land of Luther, and hence to the Levant and beyond[*1]   (Washington Post article):

The three network anchors will travel to Europe and the Middle East next week for Barack Obama[*2] ‘s trip, adding their high-wattage spotlight to what is already shaping up as a major media extravaganza.

Lured by an offer of interviews with the Democratic presidential candidate, Brian Williams[*3] , Charlie Gibson[*4] and Katie Couric[*5] will make the overseas trek, meaning that the NBC[*6] , ABC and CBS[*7] evening newscasts will originate from stops along the route and undoubtedly give it big play.

John McCain[*8] has taken three foreign trips in the past four months, all unaccompanied by a single network anchor.

No bias there.  Nope, none at all.  Simply covering newsworthy news.  Yepper.  Yeppity-doo.

Via almost everybody in the Righiesphere.
