I agree totally. I moved here (to Cincinnati) about two years ago, but I was referring to the Indianapolis Star. Still, it appears that newspapers think everyone is extremely liberal and they write accordingly. Problem is, the assumption is false. Further, the MSM simply is not doing its job of investigating stories. They interview someone like Obozo and throw him fluff-ball questions. There are no reporters with the stones to ask a hard question. For example, how hard would it be to ask: “In the history of this Republic, why are you the first President to sequester virtually every record from your past?” In all this time, no one has ever asked that question. Why? Is it because they lack the courage to ask it, or are they afraid of the answer? I really wonder...
7/8 of an iceberg doesn’t show.
Even Ed Henry and the Fox News types are taken (including families) on ski trips and the like by the White House. Hamilton, Jefferson et al would only shake their heads.
The WH press corps is an anachronism. It was born of necessity when presidents traveled by train and reporters filed stories by telegraph. It was carried over to the jet plane era although the reporters sometimes travel on a charter plane rather than Air Force One.
But an in-house reporter is a compromised reporter. They will not cross the line that might get their credential revoked.
