Ridiculous Michelle Obama article?

Get a load of this blatent editorial article that the very liberal Associated Press is trying to pass off as news. This article is mostly OPINION (and a liberal opinion at that) and is not objective news in any way. Yet it is posted on Yahoo as "news." What a crock!!

What do you all think about this complete disregard for objectivity?

    I noticed the same thing, too. It looks like it was written by the Obama campaign team, not some journalist.

    You got something against Michelle Obama?

    I see your point... It's not news, it's an Editorial comment. But I don't see how the article is as ridiculous as you state.

    Oh please, get down off you high horse, why don't you. AP isn't trying to "pass off" anything. This is a typical "fluff" piece that is often found in newspapers. It isn't serious news and isn't intended to be.

    Why do you think this is necessarily a "liberal" piece? Because it depicts Michelle Obama as a more-or-less normal wife and mother, except for the fact that she is also highly accomplished in her own right? Or are you complaining because it doesn't depict her as the AK-47-toting, afro-sporting, radical black revolutionary (ala the "New Yorker" cover) all you right-wingers just "know" she really is? What a crock, indeed.

    It's the same old liberal projection BS.
