IMO, a lot of the shows I enjoy watching (Daily Show, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, ..) are pretty much entering "elect Obama lockdown mode" and it's a little too much for me. I'm cool with them ripping Rove for his comments on Hillary, I thought it was pretty funny. But to not zing Obama on his ridiculous all-over-the-map response to Russia-Georgia and his continued comments on how being a lawyer and community organizer make him fit to be president shows the Daily Show has completed abandoned their normal balanced format.
If someone like Mike Huckabee had stated that leading a church group helped prepare him for being president back in the primaries or someone on the right had said being a lawyer prepared them for the presidency, Stewart and company would have barbecued them. Yet, they would never dream of doing that to Obama.
Again, these are their shows and they are welcome to do whatever format they wish. It just impacts my enjoyment of them when I know that I am going to see a litany of anti-republican comments for the next 30 minutes when there's a similar amount of "red meat" laying out there on the other side that goes untouched. But, to each his own and I'm sure the left is eating it up.
