In keeping with the recent Washinton Post article, admitting the paper had an Obama bias during the election, the MSM is showing its contempt and disdain for the intelligence of the public by assuming no one noticed its criminal complicity in the election of the Messiah. A wholesale attempt to repurchase lost credibility.

I am boycotting it because I don’t want to see or hear the Messiah. Even Fox news.

Their mentality is monolithic, they will not tolerate any dissent. Brace yourselves folks, this really could get nasty.

Fox is dead to me... I never watch the others... Internet, FR, Rush, Sean, Schnitt, Ingraham and Levin... all others are suspect liars.

The MSM has sold its heart, soul and credibility for Obama, and the problem it now has is convincing the public that anything it says about Obama for the next four years can be believed. The media must continue to sell Obama or admit it was wrong (the Washington Post is already trying to back pedal out of its commitment to ‘All Obama, All the Time’). One might wonder how incompetent or corrupt Obama would have to be to draw criticism from the MSM? Or will the so-called ‘news’ get more and more grotesque and convoluted to protect the media’s wholesale defection from journalism to propaganda? And how bad will it have to get before the public unplugs entirely from print and electronic media?

Absurd! The MSM has been in the tank all along and is continuing it’s mindless, fawning adulation - I just can’t watch anymore, not even Foxnews which has sorely disappointed.

he will be vilified by the same groups that sang his praises so loudly.

No, they will not. They do not care about objectivity or honest reporting. Their sole mission is to elect a liberal to every post available, not to convey actual news.

They honestly think the American people are bunch of idiots.

The last election didn't do much to dispel this idea.

CBS wants the Fairness Doctrine NOW. The Obamanation can prove himself to CBS by getting it enacted posthaste.

you are correct, Obama has insulted Nancy Reagan and already created a little bit of an international incident with Poland. Haven’t read about it in any paper. Mean while false stories and accusations about Palin abound!!! There was a run on knee pads resulting in a shortage with the reporters waiting in line to smoke Obama’s pole so not all of them are considered to be won over....

He's been leading them around like puppies for years, why would he expect that now all of a sudden they'd now a hold him accountable for anything?.

We got it in spades up here in Canada. One august and "a name you can trust" was reported to be saying "Good news" as a state was declared for President-elect Obama. Canadian woman info babes were very jaunty. One gleefully noted Governor Palin under duress and the special crew that went up on behalf of those who claimed monetary overspending. Taxpayers dollars at work. I wonder what these worthies would say if Americans covered a Canadian election and told THEM to anoint Stephen Harper?

Of course in baseball terms, a man is coming up to bat. He will face some pretty hard pitchers. No bean balls here. He will have his chance and that is right and proper.

What a meaty target all of us have. Americans and Canadians. Ah yes, the purveyors of the Jenningsonian philosophy. Or is it Dan Rather who quoth: "There are some things the public does not need to know". We are at least going to have some fun. Watching the press and their penchant for carping, their snide digs. Their absolutely unprofession verbal murder of GWB,now amost redundant What goes around, comes around.

I'm going to be sitting back and seeing how the media are going to have to try and convince this country that the train wreck of a collapsed economy is a 'good thing'.

He is forced to avoid an answer about how much he is going to raise the capital gains taxes (something he HAS to do to fund his fantasies) because when he does that, the economy goes down the shitter because anyone with any sense will pull out before it's enacted. The resulting crash will make the '29 crash look like a cake walk.

He simply can't lower taxes for 95% of the people by taxing the remaining 5%. He can't pay $40/hour to college students for 'service' work. He can't give 'rebates' with a Federal Deficit in the trillions (for long). He can't buy up all the houses that have been defaulted. In the end, he can bluster, posture, and he can blame. Substantively, he can do nothing but hasten the demise.

Excellent summation of how the One is going to kill this country. The only question left is how long will it take?

What the MSM is doing is trying to increase their relevance. They're facing dwindling ad revenues and subscriberships. Obama is truly their last hope for survival. If he allows them to continue their march to irrelevancy, they'll be done as a geopolitical factor by 2016.

If he will pretend to let them influence him, they will fawn over him and get him on Mt. Rushmore by 2025. This is a last desperate cry for help, coupled with a whorish guarantee of historical greatness. I think both sides will be happy soon.

Today's Raleigh News & Observer has a Special Obama Edition including a poster page. I'm sure that had McCain won, they would have done the same for him. Right.

And they wonder why ad revenues and circulation continually decrease. During the week the paper is so thin that it is in danger of blowing away from the driveways where it is delivered.
