Olbermann, Rest of Media Won't Chase Dog Stories Anymore

You have to admire the blatant hypocrisy of the left-wing media. You could get whiplash watching an operator like Keith Olbermann do a reversal on politically-tinged dog stories:

Jonah Goldberg broadened the argument beyond dog stories to the way the media frames stories in general. I can’t improve on his bottom line:

My complaint isn’t about distractions, it’s about the press’s tendency to treat controversies that help Republicans as “distractions” and ones that hurt Republicans as Very Serious Issues.

As Keith Olbermann helpfully demonstrates, the decision as to how to treat something can change dramatically depending on whose ox is being gored.
