The Democrats have started to slime with the help of their media whores. "The Myth of Liberal Media!!!"

1. Stephanopoulos Delivers Dem Attack Strategy on Schwarzenegger
Good morning, America, here’s the Democratic spin of the day. On today’s Good Morning America, instead of conveying the reaction of both Republicans and Democrats to Arnold Schwarzenegger entering the gubernatorial contest, George Stephanopoulos devoted nearly all of his analysis to how Democrats will undermine Schwarzenegger. Stephanopoulos reported that those he talked to “point to a couple of hopeful signs in this election.” First, that since Schwarzenegger announced “on the same day that Gary Coleman of Diff'rent Strokes got into the race as well, just points up the whole freak show nature” of the race. And second, Democrats “did some focus groups over the last few weeks and they found out when they presented the idea of Arnold to voters, they laughed.” And he cited a supposed Schwarzenegger gaffe that Democrats had attacked.

2. Couric on Schwarzenegger: “He's the Son of a Nazi Party Member”
Journalists normally fret about negative campaigning and condemn attacks that dig out personal baggage in a candidate’s background. Just as long as the candidate doesn’t threaten a Democrat, apparently, since on this morning’s Today Katie Couric didn’t hesitate to beat Democratic operatives to the punch and remind viewers that Schwarzenegger’s father was a Nazi. She began a question: "Let me ask you about his, his baggage, if you will. He's admitted smoking marijuana, using steroids during his body-building career. He's the son of a Nazi Party member...”

3. NY Times Contrasts Nuclear Proliferation with Arnold’s Bikini Wax
From the MRC’s TimesWatch.org: The Times story on California’s recall vote noted Senator Dianne Feinstein is out, while action-hero Arnold and “populist” Arianna are in, and offered its readers snob appeal: “Instead of talking about issues like nuclear proliferation and appropriations, as Ms. Feinstein did, Mr. Schwarzenegger made light of his decision to run...” And is Arianna Huffington really a populist independent or just another left-winger?
