Does 'NBA Jam' Have a Liberal Bias? FOX News Thinks It Might

The latest edition of EA Sports' 'NBA Jam,' you see, allows gamers to play basketball as one of their favorite politicians, including President Obama and Sarah Palin. The feature may seem like a relatively harmless way to incorporate politics into sports video games, but take a closer look: digital Obama is really good at basketball. A little too good, in fact.
In a predictably awkward interview with EA Sports President Peter Moore, FOX News anchor Jenna Lee innocently wondered whether the latest 'NBA Jam' game can truly be considered "bi-partisan" if it allows The Most Liberal President Ever to effortlessly school his freedom-loving counterparts. Moore admitted that the President has a special skill set in the game, but justified the decision by arguing that the real-life Obama is actually a pretty good basketball player, and, well, he is the leader of the free world, which has gotta count for something, right?

@Master of the Intangible well see McCain in a hunting game because he is physically unable to hunt due to his war injuries.

@Master of the Intangible McCain hunting games would be no fun. You'd shoot your friend in the face by the third round and no one would be having any more fun. Worst game ever!

This is absolutely ridiculous journalism. Thank you Fox News for nothing.

I'm a conservative, and I think this is ridiculous. Who depends on a video game to shape their political views?

Actually, it seems biased to me since Sarah Palin plays a pretty mean BBall game and they have Obama just running the court on her. According to Wiki: at "Wasilla High School where she was the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes,[10] and a member of the girls' basketball and cross country running teams.[26] During her senior year, she was co-captain and point guard of the basketball team that won the Alaska state championship, earning the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for her competitive streak." I don't believe that Obama could just school her on the court like that. If they are going to incorporate Obama's bball skills into the game then what's fair is fair and Palin should get her due as well.
