The liberal media are not really "up in arms" with the Obama administration, but are simply having a "lover's quarrel" over the AP scandal in particular, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told CNBC host Larry Kudlow on his May 16 The Kudlow Report program.
What's more, it won't be that long until "[t]he Bill Clinton syndrome is going to be upon us, where it's time to move on, we've covered it [the media will say] and they're going to turn the fire right on Republicans as being obstructionists. Mark my word," the Media Research Center founder predicted.
"They would report what they had to report that someone else might investigate. But the zeal of going after Watergate with Woodward and Bernstein, that hasn't been there in" neither the AP, IRS, nor Benghazi scandals, the MRC president noted.
Thus the bar gets lowered again.
This an historic president...for the media that is. A black, socialist president-emperor is something they’ve been wishing and praying for (well, at least wishing for) ever since FDR was in office. McGovern got stomped (which shows you how socialist the rest of the country has become in forty years),Clinton was an opportunist, and now they have a real, socialist hero. They’re not giving up on him just because of a few messy scandals. And after all, it is Republicans and conservatives who are the victims in the Obama scandals. Well, a few dead Obama supporters in Benghazi, but I’m sure the media feels they don’t mind sacrificing their lives for Fearless Leader.(snicker)
Well the best defense the GOP has is to say....okay....then when there is a Republican president again and he does this stuff, no howls please. Furthermore we have a Republican House, we’ll just see what laws, rules, etc. we can stretch. What? You don’t like that? Too f’n bad.
Of this I have no doubt.
The day of the hearing, MSNBC had some coverage,,,all in support of what the IRS was doing, of course. CNN ignored it completely, day and night.
They can’t keep the lid on forever.
Theyre not giving up on him just because of a few messy scandals.
He could disembowel a 2 year old child on the WH lawn and start cooking it and the media would ignore it or approve it.
Hate to admit it, but the hearings are a waste of time and taxpayer money.
They Will not deviate from this path unless and until something directly affects them.
As referenced by the fact that it took the media spying story to begin to get some of them to report anything about Obama.
They have to be addressed or we will lose.
The MSM is made up of communists Democrats and are a huge part of destroying America. Ignorant asses failed to realize that what they are destroying is themselves also.
Chessplayer, it seems as though all your comments are about how hopeless everything is, we are doomed, etc. So you think Rs in Congress should do nothing about this? Just go take naps in their offices? What better suggestions do you have?
The media are part of Obama’s personality cult. Throw them out, and they are lost, confused and afraid. They don’t like it on the outside. Of course they are going to rally around idol.
The Press has changed the game in America’s politics as well aa the direction of our country by its overwhelming bias.

They won’t deviate even if it affects them. More and more in the media are saying obama has every right to snoop on them.
So you think Rs in Congress should do nothing about this?
There is nothing they can do about it except stamp their feet and scream. obama knows it, the media knows it, and deep down inside I think the R’s know it, also.
“They cant keep the lid on forever.”
Yeah they can.
Whatever the media highlights, repeats, and covers wall to wall becomes the template for the idiot brigades of Americans. Then there are the communist zealots who actually believe everything they are told.
Mixed in with the media brainwashing and conditioning is just enough weather, sports, local news, fashion advice, and celebrity gossip to make their political stuff seem normal to the lofo’s.
I don't watch them, not even Fox, but everyone I know does, and we are vastly outnumbered.
(1)The Big Zero doesn't forgive. He prefers to punish.
(2) The press may be a little more skeptical and a little less cheerleader. They may actual try to present both an administration position and another perspective, which will infuriate the Administration.
(3) The MSM reporters are all about getting their names and stories as either the story on the front page above the fold or the teaser to the nightly electronic news show. That means scandals improve careers. If enough bad stuff is disclosed the will write about scandals rather than the cheer-leading they would prefer to write about.
