I agree with most of your post. This administration certainly represents the 60s ideal (welfare state socialism verging on communism). But I think a few of the more mature journalists are beginning to see the totalitarian beginning to come out from behind the White House curtain.
George Orwell was a man of the Left until he realized that socialism almost always leads to totalitarianism. It's possible Leftist journalists realize that a second civil war really might not advance their Utopian political causes.
If there are some good honest journalists out there who really care about reporting the news I hope we see them coming out now because we could really use them. I remember a time when journalists actually reported the NEWS instead of being so utterly biased like they are now..right now we are not seeing journalists, we are seeing the media as puppets for the White House..that is very dangerous..Obama is already a very dangerous and powerful man, top that with the media in his back pocket and its truly scary times. Maybe with Woodward we have a chance to save this country..maybe just maybe some journalists with a soul will see the light and report what is really going on behind the scenes
He’s already stated in speech that the enemy is Republicans; not Iran, not Al Queda, not even the ‘greedy bankers’, but the Republicans.
