“The Obama campaign marked a decisive turning point in the media’s shift from a bias to a narrative.”
Obama doesn’t get enough blame for how he wrecked America. It’s all his fault.

I agree, Obama was true to his word on the fundamental transformation of America. I think the media did drop any kind of pretense of objectivity with Obama. In the media’s view, there is no impartiality when it comes to “the one”, Obama. It seems to me that when the media quit trying to pretend to be objective, it was beyond easy for them to align against Trump. Trump was and is, undoing much of what Obama did, thank God.
But now, it leaves the media exposed as Democrat shills.
Exactly! I've long said this. 2007 was a watershed. Obama came along and the mask slipped completely. They no longer even pretended to be objective or to have any professional standards at all. For example, Obama goes abroad and all 3 network anchors follow him to broadcast following him around overseas. McCain (yuck! What an awful choice we had back then) goes abroad and they ignore it and claim its "not news". They literally did this! They practically fellated Obama live on air every night. It was stomach turning to watch.
Not all Obama’s fault, but he had quite a bit to do with it.
For me, it’s the shitification of everything and the permissive atmosphere of further shitification it creates.
