MSM feels it’s got the public and voters where they want them now that osamaobama is in place.

The conventional wisdom is that once in office, the mainstream media subjects the president to relentless criticism.

Just like in 1993.

Not only did they ask about him getting a dog, that was the only question he was engaged in answering, and even on that one he didn’t have an answer.

Obama is just like the “bubble” in the economy, all built on hyper expectation with nothing to back it up.

Excellent article.

First thing to remember is all the “news sources/agencies are businesses. It is “all about the money”. If the major stockholders want a pro Obama slant on everything ... the journalists, etc., will either give it to their publications or will not have a job for long.

They are well paid. Naturally it is a job, and it is necessary to do what the boss wants or else.

SO WHAT DO WE EXPECT? Unless we buy our own network for cable company ... we do not have more than a token voice.

Tough truth .... but truth just the same.

The other trend I see emerging is the use of the word “centrist.” They are going to try and convince us that the policies he puts in place are less radically leftist than they are by calling them “centrist.” Some will be convinced, others will be confused, but those of us who see the media for the tool it is, know that giving something a name doesn’t make it a fact.

Wow do I agree with this article. As I said the morning after the election, I’m in awe of the stunning stupidity of the American electorate - but the media should receive plenty of blame as well!

made up largely of the mainstream media

Can we please stop referring to them as the "mainstream media"? There is nothing mainstream about them. They have little in common with the average person, at least the ones that cover politics in D.C.

It was the same with Clinton. The media all swooned with joy.

I just fired up my internet explorer to see a picture of two men kissing in Connecticut, because of some judge allowing the homos to get married there. Talk about in your face.

The First Amendment does not assign responsibilities to journalism - indeed, journalism as we know it scarcely existed in the founding era because newspaper printers had nothing like the AP as a source of news to which the general public was not privy.

My friends, I fear we are in deep weeds in this country right now.
