Anyone else notice when Obama responds to McCain's BS, the headline now reads "Obama mocks McCain"

[quiet.american]

I love it that the gloves are off with Obama and Biden, and I say, keep 'em coming! But, I'm also hoping the now-constant press refrain of "Obama mocks McCain" doesn't start to drum up ill-spent sympathy for the doddering fool.

1. He doesn't show proper "deference," he "mocks," he "steals" McCain leads...

hmmm. Is there a reason for such phrasing? :eyes:

2. The Yahoo! website headline writer is fond of using the verb "mocks"

...to describe Obama's responses.

6. Or if he is ahead in the polls, it's "Obama is only 1-2 pts ahead"

or "Why is Obama behind by 2 points he is losing ground. It is never that way for McCain...

9. Similar to what I posted earlier today, that the media seems to use a different lexicon ...

... when reporting on Obama versus McCain.

11. The "mock" thing started last week

There're trying to stir things up but mock and sarcastic don't really fit Obama. Mild irony and snark, bullseye points and humorous lines yes.
