During the 2008 presidential election season, many Americans were captivated by then-candidate Barack Obama’s promises of hope and change. And some would argue that much of the media were taken in by the promises too. Nearly three years into the Obama presidency, is it fair to say the media were duped? On Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” host Howard Kurtz asked New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman just that question. According to Friedman, the jury is still out.

A liberal (out of work) friend of mine commented:
“At least we have a President who sounds intelligent. Better than that buffoon Bush.”
I suspect that describes most in the media.
"Aloha."
Strange as it may seem---Hillary and Bill tried to tell the voters that he was a Muslim, and had other drawbacks. Hillary handed out this pic of Obama---being dressed as a Muslim.
But Teddy Kennedy ordered the Clintons to back off. Teddy fronted for Obama, telling the world what a great candidate he was.
It brings up that Her Thighness wants to primary zero with Cuomo VP.
“The Liberal Media and Obama believe the same ideology. The Lamestreammedia always give dems a pass.”
Yes the destruction of this country,Their end game.
Too soon? I’d say TO LATE!
What vetting was done exactly, FriedmanIdiot?! =.=
if Friedman’s golf game is better than his very bad judgment and his very unoriginal thinking.....
Three very good reasons why Obama plays golf with him?
you’re right...this fall will prove pivotal as the Super Committee aka Dream Team gets to work....I can’t see the dynamic changing as Obama will continue the finger pointing class warfare......
Obama was vetted???????
Seriously. This is from the Onion? Right??
Didn’t this guy win some IMPORTANT award? (which is now worthless) BAAWWAAAHHHHH
“And some would argue that much of the media were taken in by the promises too.”
“But not me, you understand...”
Thomas Friedman should just ask Pelosi and Alice Travis Germond-Sec. of the DNC about the falsified Documents of Certification.
THEY know. Go ahead, “Fried”-man.....ASK.
The democrats OWN this fraud. It’ll be the end of them.
Oatmealhead.
The Free Speech Zone of the 2004 DNC Convention at which Obama was opening keynote speaker.
Obummer was vetted by the media? I must have missed that.
Do we really think our candidate this election will bring up Osamabamas missing records or any of his transcripts? It would be good at one of the debates to walk over to Obama with his Birth certificate and school transcripts and hand them to Obama. Step back and watch the liberal world shake on its axis. Naw None of our guys have the cajones to pull anythng like that.. I can dream can’t I?
You know how the new narrative will go?
The MSM will claim that they had such faith in the system that they honestly thought there was no need to check, “but never again”, they will cry.
Then they will proceed to overturn every single stone on the Republican candidates hoping for anything they can find, no matter how nonsensical, including the possibility (just even a possibility), that one of their ancenstors once turned in a slave or that that a college bud had a one night stand with a goat in Tiajuana 50 years ago.
Whatever it takes to discredit him/her.
What a bunch of bull! They weren’t duped. They were playing the role of the 3 monkeys. See nothing, hear nothing, say nothing.
McCain said essentially the same thing.
