[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at ABC, CBS and NBC were beside themselves with gushing praise of Barack Obama’s address to the Democratic National Convention, Wednesday. Immediately after his speech, they hailed the President as a “preacher" and a “powerful” "lawyer.” Offering the most effusive cheering, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley lauded, “Barack Obama in full Sunday meeting mode, preaching to a choir that sang a chorus of  amens.” He parroted, “The first African-American president challenging Democrats to make history again. The biggest difference in this election, he said, is the very meaning of our democracy.”
