You know why Reverend Wright is "bad" for the candidacy of Barack Obama? Because the traditional media says he's bad and because they say he's important. Without Obama to bring into it, Wright is just another black pastor the media and everyone else can safely ignore. With Obama, he sells papers, and that's the point, to hell with anything else.
Perhaps the media will start following McCain's big supporter, John Hagee, around and quote him at every opportunity, talking about how awful it is for McCain that Hagee was a bunch of stupid beliefs.
Oh wait, sorry, that last part was a fantasy I sometimes have of a world in which we have a liberal media instead of a corporate media that spins facts in McCain's favor at every opportunity.
