The US MSM are water carriers for Obama. It took the UK Daily Mail to report this. The US MSM, with the exception of FoxNews will not carry this under any circumstance.
Speaking as Brit, the one difference I can point out about the British media, over the American media, as much as I loathe them both, is that here in the UK, the newspapers will gladly throw even their own political friends under the bus if it sells a story.......in America, as you rightly allude to, they are nothing more than water carriers, which is far more dangerous than our phone tapping media. Although for the record I don’t think the Mail is especially fond of Obama!
It is so scary, how the press distorts things and worse still, covers them up.....it is the reason idiots like Obama managed to climb all the way to the top to begin with.
