...these athletes on the court and in the field, but we also take classes with them, live in the same residential houses, and often attend many of the same social gatherings (read: keggers) as them. Even with a conflict-of-interest policy that attempts to eliminate bias from our coverage, we cannot help but feel a certain empathy for the student-athletes we are so connected to.Despite the ease and comfort that our extraordinary access provides, perhaps it might seem to produce a net negative effect, coloring our coverage and complicating our personal interactions.

Then the White House picks a fight with nbc News over the editing of an interview with the President--tossing in swipes at its coverage of Iraq and the economy and its supposed liberal bias (rallying the base against Old Media). Still, an unpopular, lame-duck leader might be more of a boomerang against MCCAIN than a blade against Obama. X Pop Culture MCCAIN's latest star turn on Saturday Night Live was (to borrow his applause line) "crazy exciting." Two bits of comedy...
