[Mr. K]

They watched obama piss on everyone else, and told them all it was raining.

But once he did it to them they finally take notice?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Rats are deserting the ship. Saw Chris Matthews turn on Obama this morning. Pretty soon, his only friend will be Valerie Jarrett.

[VideoPaul]

Liberal, activist press....meet the liberal, activist government that you carried more water for than Gunga Din and ushered into two terms in the White House. This is what you supported, this is what you wanted, this is what you got. You should be happy.

Funny how fast they turn when it’s their playpen being raided, isn’t it?

Be careful what you wish for...

[Travis McGee]

[Texas resident]

Interesting that the media never thought that a dictator would turn on them.

The liberal media may not like the idea of going after Obama, but they may now be thinking "we have to get him before he gets us."

[molson209]

They will do the BAD ,BAD ,Bad for a short time then jump right back into Obama’s pocket

[Lacey]

Yeah, nothing a little chocolate on the pillow can’t fix.

[NRA1995]

Gotta love Schadenfreude! Nice to see the American version of Pravda get crapped on by this administration which they worked so hard to put in the white House!

[Jack Hammer]

Obviously too close to the bone for our media “watchdogs.”

But where were all these self-regarding phonies on Banghazi and the IRS, et cetera?

Have a hard believing that Matthews would do anything but make excuses for him.

[subterfuge]

So obviously a distraction from Bengahzi. Obvious because the Balack obama regime has admitted to it, which lefties NEVER do (deny, deny, deny their motto), and, the liberalist of the lib commentators are actually attacking Balack obama for the IRS and AP phone records. Remember, these are the mediots that get their talking points directly from the regime.

[Christie at the beach]

They have made Obama stronger at every turn when he should had been challenged in these wrong doings. The media groomed him into being this overreaching to power absorbed leader- by not being a group to keep the truth prevailing no matter the party affiliation. Honesty in the government no matter who is there (R) or (D). They are the same media organizations who never question Obama on much of anything. Ever. They did this to all to us as well to themselves. They are his protector. I think they are trying to look independent. They knew Obama’s administration and of the IRS had been targeting conservative and Tea Party groups and now they are suddenly upset. Oh, it was them, their private phone calls. Do your jobs, media in the first place. Stop kissing Obama’s butt so you can be liked or to have special access.

[HerrBlucher]

Yep, the MSM are simply removing their lips from Obama’s arse long enough to catch their breath; then they will plant them right back on.

[NRA1995]

Of course, just like an abused housewife or a woman married to a Middle Eastern man, they’ll go running back for more shabby treatment.

[txnativegop]

Many of the media are Idealists and therefore never even considered Obama’s actions against them as a real possibility.

SURPRISE!, SURPRISE!, . . .

[txnativegop]

So true. . .

Saw Chris Matthews turn on Obama this morning.

Oh, how I wish I could have seen Tingles Matthews turn on O. Never thought I’d see that happen! The press and the CIA - the two organizations that it’s never smart to try to roll under the bus or irritate.

It’s refreshing watching the media try to remember what hard hitting, investigative journalism looks like as they round on the administration for a change with laser scrutiny

[Leaning Right]

Saw Chris Matthews turn on Obama this morning

Probably nothing more than a lover's spat. Soon enough, they'll be a dedicated couple again.
