Who is Obama?

Melanie Phillips can’t believe it:

You have to pinch yourself. A Marxist radical, who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power, anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.

Highlighted by the failure of the media to question Obama, or what he stands for .. as can be seen in this, from the LA times, courtesy of Bolt.
Question: when the voters are almost evenly divided, why has the media coverage been so unbelievably one-sided - and determined to portray John McCain as a pathetic loser?

And speaking of the media being on Obama’s bus, note how far the Los Angeles Times is going to protect their favorite:

John McCain’s presidential campaign today accused the Los Angeles Times of “intentionally suppressing” a videotape it obtained of a 2003 banquet where then-state Sen. Barack Obama spoke of his friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a leading Palestinian scholar and activist....

The Times today issued a statement about its decision not to post the tape.

“The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it,” said the newspaper’s editor, Russ Stanton. “The Times keeps its promises to sources.”

Not only does the LA TImes refuse to show the tape, it persists in describing Khalidi as merely “a leading Palestinian scholar and activist”. Here’s another view of Obama’s friend, making clear his work for the PLO, long a terrorist organisation devoted to the destruction of Israel.
