Joe Biden, MSM non-entity?

Joe Who?

Almost as soon as word leaked on Friday morning that the little-known Alaska governor had been picked as Republican nominee Sen. John McCain's number two, the attention paid to Biden quickly vanished into the Mile High air.

Since the Delaware senator left Obama's side and ventured out on his own on Labor Day, he has hardly garnered any national media interest at all.

His plane, a blue chartered 737, now crosses the country with about three-quarters of its seats empty, rows and rows with nary a warm body to be found.

Biden's supporters maintain that he is connecting with voters and garnering positive media interest on a local level. They also say that Biden is a "governing" pick, not a "political" pick, unlike Palin. That is, Biden will actually be able to help Obama govern; he's not just a cynical selection to help his boss win the election.

Either way, as Air Joe flew from Wilmington to Charlotte Sunday, the only reporters onboard were off-air reporters from the five television networks and correspondents from NBC and Politico. There was only one camera crew. The back of the plane, reserved for press, sat totally deserted.

And the MSM accuses the McCain team of keeping Palen hidden, not letting the lib beast correspondents have total access. With Biden, it's hilarious that no one even wants to talk to him.

the only way he could have made a more boring pick would have been to go with chris dodd.  at least with biden, you are pretty sure that he will uncork at least one head-scratcher per speech.  but I can see the headlines now;  "Biden Goes on the Attack, Dozens Notice".

Who? :-)

I see that Fox is finally debuting it's "Biden - Revealed" story. Long after the McCain/Palin/Obama ones.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

PMSNBC had it's Sarah Palin show on last night, followed by The BarackStar!'s.  they were remarkably restrained on the Palin show . . . until they got to the last 15 minutes.  politicians like Sarah Palin have their share of enemies, it's just the way it goes when you kick butt, take names, and fire the shit out of people.  there will be plenty of disgruntled alaskans to talk to between now and election day.

The BarackStar!'s was exactly what you would expect.  breathless adulation.
