Soledad O'Brien: In The Bag For Obama

The newest example of a cable network anchor in the bag for Barack Obama comes in the form of CNN's Soledad O'Brien, who today has a new hangup about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Palin, O'Brien has repeated dozens of times, has only had a U. S. passport for a year and a half and has only traveled to two countries.

This elitist view has fueled yet another media backlash, primarily among conservative bloggers: "The average American doesn't have a passport," wrote one. "Only rich people and people like O'Brien, who travel the world on their corporate credit cards, have them."

O'Brien, among the CNN personnel whose worshipful reports about Obama and Joe Biden mark her as among those in the media most supportive of the Democrat team, has attacked Palin relentlessly since last Friday's announcement she was John McCain's vice presidential running mate.
