They said David Souter had no paper trail. They said Chancey Gardener was a cypher spouting lovely, gaseous cliches. But Souter was merely a judge, and Gardener no more than a work of fiction. But we're about to put this guy into the White House.
There's got to be a real tension building in those newsrooms which still have reporters who like actual news, and not mere celebrity and horse race blather. Their deepest emotions desire a leftist President in the White House, but the best news story sitting like a elephant in the news room is the story of the disconnect between Obama's history as a race-based far left activist living a raced-based life in a black racist church and his 180 degree opposed campaign for President as a post-racial candidate with a post-ideological agenda of politics by universal consensus.
So far, most all of America's dogged newshounds have avoided the story like a boy with a fear of water at a swimming party. It's as if reporting the biggest story of the year would end their careers. And maybe, at say CBS or the NY Times, it would. The unfolding story of how reporters handle this issue over the next nine months will be one of the more interesting factors in the campaign. And how things turn out will reveal much about the news profession, and there's even a small chance we'll learn something new about this cypher Obama himself.
