Liveblogging Prime Time

Open thread for documenting the prime time cable news hackery.

I'll get the ball rolling here... On MSNBC, David Gregory -- the network's new election coverage anchor -- just said that Senator Obama is going after Sarah Palin on her Bridge to Nowhere flip-flop, "but why is Obama going after a number two?"

'The hell?! Scatalogical "number two" jokes aside, this illustrates THE problem with cable news. The focus ought to be on Sarah Palin repeatedly lying about the Bridge... not Obama. But Senator Obama is the Democrat in this thing, so there must be something screwy and weird about what he's saying. Not the Republican. Of course not.
