Do you have a paid position in the Obama campaign or are you a vounteer?

Because this diary seems to have indicated no progression in your thought process from the original diary.

I already laid out a bunch of factors, one of trhe combination of which , will prompt someone to fight for a candidate beyond the obvious rebuttals any reasonable progressive would do on behalf of a fellow progressive. Unless you are a super strong candidate like Gore or Clark by MYDD or DKOS's standards, you are going to have to engage this community to fight for our attention to do a detailed rebuttal of every single mistake. Right now, we are stil; in the primary process. So our attention is split among many democrats. If you stand by us in tough times, then of course we will feel obligated to go to bat for them beyond the call of duty. It is not spite. It is limitation of our energy and time.

As you pointed out, media matters has already done a good job with this. So unless MYDD feels personally invested, why should you expect their admins to put front page articles attacking every single misnomer on Obama? It's not like MYDD hasn't gone to bat for Obama in the past on the front page because they have.

And Jerome is only one admin type who said something close to what you say. NOt enough of a sample to make your case. And even Jerome seemed to imply that Obama will get more attention during General Election time maybe because our attentions wont be divided. I will have to go back, but I think either Jerome or Jonathan Singer actually went to bat for Obama early on in this process when Stoller was being a little negative on Obama. So dont generalize.

Obama is being treated fine by all blogs.  To expect Obama to get the Lamont treatment on MYDD and DKOS is ridiculous because that involved personal investment in those candidates and the respect was paid back by the candidate making the community feel more invested on a personal basis and not just political. Obama is gettng his political due by the netroots bigwigs. And MEdiaMAtters is there to point out all media discrepancies of candidates not championed by enough big bloggers.

Why aren't you sending a complaint to Obama for his campaign thinking one has to shower attention on all segments but the netroots. Netroots dont need to have their asses kissed. But we at least should get the feeling that he has some kind of accountability to our segment too, and not just everyone else. When he felt the need to stump for Lieberman, it was obviously a political decision which we are able to forgive him for, reluctantly. But what would he have lost by sending more letters of support of Lamont? He had to be pressured into sending a measly few emails.
When the netroots stood by obama when he froze out FOXNEWS, when the NEvada debate controversy went on and he was quiet, and we were pissed off at his no comment, the least he could have done was have a liaison explain to DKOS or MYDD or any other liberal blog what the thinking was behind such a No Comment. This way, we would have more respect even if were to choose to do the debate.These are two examples where he could be doing a lot better in reaching out to netroots. And there are more.

No offense intended ... but why don't you hold Obama, your candidate, responsible for taking the podium at the Las Vegas Healthcare Forum and giving such a vague and meatless presentation?  The man is running for President of the United States and that Healthcare Forum was damned important to those in attendance.  You are asking people to defend Obama against, what happens to be, honest criticism.  He needs to get his act together because he carelessly handed his opponents a weapon to use against him.  

He spoke about healthcare reform as though it were some trivial issue that he just didn't have time to bone up on.

Great Presidential material!!

... took a break from late-night obsessive blogging to watch the really excellent NPI and PoliticsTV diary/video that is currently in the Rec section.

If you needed any proof of how important the media is to the success of the greater progressive movement, this video lays it all out.

And I also got this really nice email from a lurker thanking me for my previous diary saying...

"...it would be beneficial if the community debunked slurs before these insidious memes become defining.  Just this evening I caught the end of a Hardball segment where Craig Crawford was pontificating that Obama '...needs to put some meat on the bones'.  It's as if all the beltway pundits attended a cocktail party and decided the upcoming week's narrative.  Demonstrates how insular they are.  Sorrowfully, the evidence shows they will create negative themes for all our candidates."

Oh yeah, and I also broke away to watch David Axelrod's great interview on Charlie Rose. Though Dean and Trippi were really great at sounding the same themes, their personal relationship (partly a result of the intermediaries that came between them, I think) was clearly not as close as Obama/Axelrod. And it comes through in this interview -- with Axelrod perfectly describing Obama's appeal and why he's signed on so enthusiastically.
