Melancholy and the 100 days of media sadness

The Worst Media Moment of Obama's
First 100 Days
from mediamatters.org

The first 100 days of the Obama administration are coming to a close, and there has certainly been no shortage of unhinged and outrageous media moments.

From Rush Limbaugh saying that "we are being told to bend over and grab the ankles ... because his father is black," to Glenn Beck imitating President Obama pouring gasoline on an "average American," conservatives in the media have wasted no time in stoking a culture of paranoia with extreme, vitriolic, and often irresponsible rhetoric.

I'm debating between voting for one of these gems:

• Beck leaving an SUV idling outside his studio during his show to "do [his] part for global warming" after his cohort claimed Al Gore looks stupid for insisting on climate change when there is snow on the ground in NYC in winter.
• Beck pouring gas on another Fox anchor to demonstrate his feeling that Obama is setting the average American on fire.
• Limbaugh telling us that we're allowing ourselves to be anally raped because of White guilt.
• Santelli's inane and hypocritical rant from the trading floor.
