| I understand the Media is not biased but.... Democrat Penn. Gov. Ed Rendell says otherwise.... What's a guy to think? Michael Calderone's Blog: Rendell: Obama coverage was embarrassing - Politico.com August 24, 2008 Categories: MSNBC Rendell: Obama coverage was embarrassing Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was supposed to give “closing remarks” during this afternoon’s Shorenstein Center-sponsored panel discussion with all three Sunday show moderators — NBC’s Tom Brokaw, ABC’s George Stephanopoulous and CBS’s Bob Schieffer — but instead, he opened up a can of worms about bias in 2008 election coverage "Ladies and gentleman, the coverage of Barack Obama was embarrassing," said Rendell, in the ballroom at Denver's Brown Palace Hotel. "It was embarrassing." Rendell, an ardent Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter during the primaries, now backs Obama in the general election. Brokaw and Rendell began debating campaign coverage, including the on-air comments by Lee Cowan, and when MSNBC came up, Rendell went after the cable network. “MSNBC was the official network of the Obama campaign," Rendell said, who called their coverage "absolutely embarrassing." Chris Matthews, Rendell said, "loses his impartiality when he talks about the Clintons.” At that point, PBS's Judy Woodruff, who was moderating the moderators event, said: "Why don’t we let Governor Rendell sit down." That was met with applause from the crowd of big-time media figures, which included Arianna Huffington, Gwen Ifill, Al Hunt, and Chuck Todd. Woodruff allowed Brokaw to respond, and in defending the network, he said that Matthews and Keith Olbermann are "not the only voices" on MSNBC.

| The only thing on TV last night was the DNC. It was on 11 channels. Do we really need anything on 11 channels?

| TV was good for me last night. I had Family Guy on TBS and I had former KSU star Darren Sproles tearing it up for the San Diego Chargers on ESPN (13 carries for 102 yards and 1 TD). |
