Your Daily Politics Video Blog: All it took to set off a full 24 hours of cable news hysteria was one quote that the Washington Post's Dana Milbank attributed to Barack Obama - second hand, unsourced, out of context, and eventually widely disputed. Nice work, everybody.

1. Pissed

Watching this just boils my blood against the media.

2. The sad thing is, how all of them jumped on this bandwagon, but say nothing about Mcsame

Referring to himself as president in commercial.
They don't even try to hide it anymore.

3. Shep Smith sounded like the only voice of reason in there (besides Rachel)

10. Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much...

Wasting ink and newsprint on rehashing/scoring his emails is telling overkill. I noticed he was completely unable to explain why he left out the key element of what Obama said, which of course, changes entirely the meaning of the quote. Either he's lazy or he's a tool for the McCain campaign, either of which does nothing to get him closer to that Pulitzer in journalism he is aching for...
