The press will save OBAMA!!!!

Sadly, that is exactly what's happening. The press isn't doing its job.

The press isn't doing its job.

I keep seeing the statement "maybe the press will finally do its job". What folks don't seem to realize is that the description of that job has changed. It is no longer to ferret out the truth and keep Americans informed - that is what Herridge/Rubin are doing on FOX with their outstanding Benghazi reporting. No, the rest of the so-called media is merely an advertising/public relations agency for Obama, to make him look good, to be adoring and fawning, to smooth over and cover up what should be abhorrent and disgusting. They need to be dismissed as 'media' and treated for what they are .... how, exactly, we do this in a meaningful way, I'm not sure.

The Press is, indeed, doing its job. Their job is to survive. They are a bunch of private businesses that are run for immediate gain and that gain now comes more surely through political machinations than through private market entrepreneurship. It is the result of economic calculation. The press is dead if it is a neutral just-the-facts publisher because of the Net etc. They hang on with their alliance with government. Of course, soon they will be an owned part of government but the presstitutes believe they will be the secure and prosperous propaganda arm of the government. They crave to attain the status of Pravda and Tass in their heyday.
