Obama Speech: Any Fair and Balanced Left in the News?

August 28, 2008 - 11:14 pm , By Rob - UPENN

If so, I can’t find it.

So Obama is done giving his speech, and I am flipping between MSNBC with Chris Matthews/Keith Oberman and FOX.

If Matthews and Oberman were any more up Obama’s ass - they would have been covered in sh*t. FOX on the otherhand, might has well have been burning pictures of Obama and were tearing apart every vocal inflection he made.

What ever happened to impartial news reporting? I remember growing up and feeling that I could believe anything the news people reported, because there was this integrity of impartial news reporting. Those days are gone.

If you were to flip, as I am right now, you would think the reporters watched 2 completely different speeches. You can’t argue the fact that Obama is a great public speaker, but why not simply highlight the points he made? No, of course not. Everyone needs to give their 2 cents as to what they took away from him.

But Keith Oberman? Really? Dude, you were on SportsCenter…please stop. Tell me what you think about Favre moving to the Jets, don’t interpret political language and positioning.

That was exhausting just to watch.

We see SportsCenter highlights all the time, but now it’s due time to give credit to the video we won’t be seeing on the prime time highlights. These are videos only the internet could love.

Rick Ankiel: Feel-Good Story of the Summer

September 7, 2007 - 1:00 pm , By Steve - Seton Hall University

Rick Ankiel

On August 10 COED gave you a quick piece about Rick Ankiel, the former St. Louis Cardinal rookie pitching star who at age 21 retired from the game after a pitching breakdown in the 2000 Playoffs, only to return to the majors 7 years later as a power-hitting outfielder.

In his first game back to the majors on August 9 Ankiel hit a 3-run home run to win the game. Even though this was a solid indication of his potential as an outfielder I assumed he would be a fluke. Simple enough right? Feel good stories like this meant are for the movies… just watch The Natural.
