Media takes tougher look at Joe than Obama

Jim Lundgren:

Joe and Barack's Tax Problems.

I was stunned to see some document showing Joe the Plumbers' tax problems on my 10pm (CT)newscast on the local NBC affiliate in Chicago on Thursday night. They have very little time for any national news and they actually spent time on Joe the Plumbers' tax problems. Amazing!

But when an actual candidate — Barack Obama — released his tax returns, which on their face seemed to show an ethics violation of Illinois law, the press couldn't care less.

...

That is the Obama media for you. It is hard to believe they could do all this digging on a guy who asked Obama a question and they are completely incurious about a guy who become President. Where are the media watch dogs outside of the conservative blogs? I guess they are too busy rooting for Obama.
