Theoretically, there is a tipping point at which

the Federal or certain state government leaders will exceed their authority, or show such great ineptitude to such a degree

that the MSM will have to drop their support of extreme leftist leaders and begin to engage in investigative journalism.

Let’s see how the MSM responds to this. Frankly, I expect them to remain silent...which sort of scares that crap out of me.

"Theoretically, there is a tipping point at which the Federal or certain state government leaders will exceed their authority, or show such great ineptitude to such a degree that the MSM will have to drop their support of extreme leftist leaders and begin to engage in investigative journalism."

The tipping point is when a Republican is president, then virtually anything is up for grabs as a potential scandal: the lies of Wilson and Plame are gleefully accepted at face value; a routine turnover of federal prosecutors is treated as a unique instance of "politicization" of the justice system; a Thanksgiving turkey photo-op is treated as a major scandal; the RATS "subliminal message" incident; the doctored National Guard records; the election-weekend leak of Bush's long-ago drunk-driving arrest (which probably cost Bush just enough votes to throw the nation into turmoil for two months); the temporary review of a last-minute Clinton water-quality order is equated with "pouring" arsenic into the water; the Cheney hunting accident as an attempt to kill a man who knew too much; faulty intelligence - almost universally accepted as true before the war - becomes interpreted as "lying us into war"; 9/11 gives rise to theories - carried in MSM newspapers - that Bush engineered the attack or deliberately ignored clear evidence of the plot; and so on.

But with Obama, NO scandal gets any real traction with the MSM. If any scandal shows the possibility of getting "legs", it is summarily dropped. At worst, those pointing out the scandal and taking it seriously are demonized as "racists" or "anarchists" or "terrorists" or "anti-American".

Under Obama, we have finally arrived at the doorstep of what prevails in most of Europe - a one-party surveillance state in which there is a symbiosis between a leftist government and the news media such that the ONLY time the media will criticize the government is if it tries to backtrack on some previous leftist policy, e.g., to roll-back unemployment or retirement benefits in order to avoid economic catastrophe.

Hate to inform you but the MSM works for Hitler and the Gestapo.
