Covering candidates

If there is any doubt that the major networks are "in the tank" for Barack Obama, one needs to look no further than the coverage devoted to his trip overseas, with CBS, NBC and ABC sending their top anchors to cover every word from the junior senator from Illinois. The ironic twist is Obama probably could not visit Iraq had one of his many policies been in place.
