The Media's Double Standard

Just a quick note to draw attention to Frank Rich's excellent Op-Ed in today's New York Times.  Rich analyzes the horrific double standard our national media has with regard to politician's surrogates - aka the Reverends Wright and Hagee.  It's a must read examination of how the far more inflammatory and hate-filled statements of Reverend John Hagee have not drawn the attention or criticism leveled at Jeremiah Wright.  Similarly John McCain has not been bombarded with questions about his relationship with Hagee on a level anywhere near what Obama has experienced in the last five weeks.  There is without a doubt a terrible double standard in the media's coverage.
