A perennial debate for conservative media critics: does the left enforce its increasingly tenuous hold over the airwaves by framing stories in a worshipful pro-Obama way or by using their gate-keeping privileges to ignore inconvenient stories? There's plenty of evidence for both theories. And every time you think it's leaning one way - say, the media's embarrassing slobbering over Obama's 100 days...

Obama worship, complete with halo images, has been noted before here on NewsBusters but it was nothing compared to current expressions in awe of The One as we approach his hundreth day in office on Wednesday. Matching the theme of "The Truth" painting is Joe Klein singing 100 day mark praises (while excoriating the "satanic" George W. Bush) of his beloved Barack... Chris Matthews, should audition to sing I Don't Know Why Why I Love Him to the tune of I Don't Know How To Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar to serenade "The Truth" painting when it is unveiled at Union Square on Wednesday.

... something like this comes out and tilts the debate the other way. Here's what CNN thinks were Obama's "Top Ten Faux Pas" during the first 100 days. The list is, on the whole, aggressively stupid:

Nothing about the tragicomic Gordon Brown DVD fiasco or on getting the Queen an iPod, both of which kept getting better and better as the DVDs turned out to be the wrong format and the iPod gift was megalomanical even by this President's standards.

Nothing about insisting to Austrians that they speak a language that exists only in Obama's mind. Nothing about visibly demonstrating to Iraqi troops that he has no idea what the different units in Iraq are. They might even have included the Freeman nomination and the Durban II trainwreck, though I can see how those were less "amateur hour gaffes" and more "shots across the neoconservative bow."
