I Thought Bloggers Were the Snarky Ones?

Peter Hart

From the New York Times report on Barack Obama’s huge rally in St. Louis:

Even Mr. Obama, who can wear self-possession like an overcoat, seemed taken aback.

Translation?

Also in the Times on Sunday, Matt Bai’s magazine piece about Obama and white voters included this observation:

Obama was wearing his classic starched white shirt. (How many of those shirts does he have, exactly?)

Is Bai actually surprised by a politician who seems to wear clean shirts? Are there notable examples of recent presidential candidates who didn’t?

It’s actually a great and useful piece of info. I am happy that you simply shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.

What’s FAIR

FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
