MARK HALPERIN CRITICIZED THE MEDIA for being in the tank for Obama. But Rich Hailey says they did a good job: “I think the media performed flawlessly during the two year election cycle. They managed the story, shielded their candidate, attacked the opposition, sat on damaging stories, and in short did everything a good state run media should do during an election cycle.” Ouch.

The comedians are in the tank, too, according to this transcript from Howard Kurtz’s Reliable Sources:

KURTZ: All right. The word on the street is that comedians are kind of shying away from making fun of Obama. Are you man enough to do it?

KINDLER: No. I don’t want to make fun of him. That’s the thing. You can’t just decide — I don’t believe in the equal opportunity comedy where you — I give it to the left and I give it to the right. I like having a point of view. I don’t like to say left, because I don’t even know what that means. But I wanted Obama to win. So I can’t now pretend and try to find stuff about him.

Sounds like a laff riot. Plus, a video on the subject from Ed Driscoll.
