I just can't agree with the high assessment of this article by the originial reviewer. The News Journal's media critic has come up with a clever title, with its allusion to "huevos," but this piece, for me, comes under the "horseracing the horserace" category--how does writing a trivial article about a trivial article makes for better journalism? I find the writer disingenuous in that he pretends to be taking on the NYT, when at the same time he is , in an underhanded way, attacking this particular candidate. Ironically it impugns the Times for the egg whites = Volvo/Chardonnay labeling, when that type of labeling has been embraced by those more aligned with the editorial policy of the National Review or farther right, as was ...

I can't tell whether the writer is trying to be clever or is adding to the chorus for conflict.

These "opinion makers" appear to believe that a cockfight is more important (and more effective?) than positive statements of policy and intention.

This is an example of the worst kind of journalism because it uses all the tired old cliches to unfairly tag every move and event. It is how you provide negative spin to what you observe. The most glaring example is the issue of Obama eating only the whites of the eggs. If you are knowledgable about diet you know that the American Heart Association recommends a very limited intake of eggs unless you dispose of the yolks. Obama was only following a sound health and diet procedure when he discarded the yolks. To make it into a less than a man to do so issue you might as well trot out the Marlboro Man as a presidential candidate.

This is lousy journalism. He obviously does not bother to know the real facts, which is most of what a great deal of the media also do. This type of journalism is about sensationalism with no real facts to back up anything! It would be great if some day the media paid real attention to what is going on!

Seriously? You can end an article about Obama's image problem in the media with: "Ouch. Can a eunuch be president?". Seems like a chicken and the egg sort of situation to me.
