A long term Republican endorses Barack Obama, makes a speech at the DNC convention last night and the media turns a deaf ear. Amazing isn’t it? That’s exactly what happened when Jim Leach gave a very good speech explaining why he is endorsing Obama and why his party has gone astray. Here is the video:

When Leach started speaking last night, MSNBC went to it. Then they quickly went away and just said “oh that’s former Representative Jim Leach”. I wonder if they will do the same for former Democrat Joe Lieberman?

Steve Bennen has a great post on this latest example of the “liberal media” in action that deserves a read.
