This isn’t at all surprising:
Several members of the media were seen cheering and clapping for Barack Obama as the Illinois senator accepted the Democratic nomination Thursday.
Standing on the periphery of the football field serving as the Democratic convention floor, dozens of men and women wearing green media floor passes chanted along with the crowd.
Two members of the foreign press exchanged opportunities to take each other’s pictue while wearing an Obama hat and waving a flag.
Several others nearby screamed “woo” during some of Obama’s biggest applause lines.
I remember in 2000 when Hillary was declared the winner in the New York Senate race, most of the reporters and editors in The Herald-Sun newsroom erupted in a cheer and standing ovation. I was appalled and told them so. They thought I was the one acting inappropriately.
