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.

I agree. When I have heard why people went into Journalism, it was always because "they wanted to make a difference in the world." Well, they are. They, as I see it, are willing tools to bring down what they have been taught is an unfair society. Now, if they had said they wanted to use their investigatory and writing skills to bring the facts to the people, I might have some respect for them. Like you, have no idea how we get around such a vast propaganda network.

It's not Obama. It is the liberal agenda along with the smack-down of conservatism. That's what they see as their job.
