Andrea Mitchell accuses John McCain of “hearing” Obama’s answers to Rick Warren

I could say that the obviously biased media reached a new low on Sunday, the 17th of August 2008, but i’m sure that this will be exceeded. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell on the popular show Meet the Press seems to think that John McCain’s “crisp, immediate, forceful” responses to Pastor Rick Warren at a presidential forum on faith were due to the fact that McCain was not sealed in a sound protected room after all, or the “Cone of Silence”. Here’s what she had to say from the Meet the Press transcripts:

MR. GREGORY: Andrea Mitchell, that’s a pretty clear contrast.

MS. ANDREA MITCHELL: Oh, absolutely. And, you know, there was the crisp, immediate, forceful response by John McCain, clearly in a comfort zone because he was with his base. And Barack Obama, taking a risk in going there but seeing an opportunity. And a much more nuanced approach. The Obama people must feel that he didn’t do quite as well as they might have wanted to in that context, because that–what they’re putting out privately is that McCain may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were to Obama.

MR. GREGORY: Right.

MS. MITCHELL: He seemed so well prepared.

So let me see if I understand this “Ms. Mitchell”. If someone comes off as prepared, forceful, and doesn’t come up with cop outs like “above my pay grade”, that means the other candidate is either cheating or listening through some secret wall?
