It’s made it to Fox and CNN so there is hope (couldn’t resist, sorry)...

Remember, there is one story line that the media likes more than the underdog beating the establishment (the Obama template thus far), and that is the hero or someone on top falling from grace. I have a feeling they may start to drive that media template about Obama.. its all about ratings, an Obama meltdown will be like sweeps week in the news market.

Excellent point. There are plenty of Zero supporters in the MSM, but the owners (i.e., shareholders) want dividends and increased value. That means they must make money and once they saw the 30,000 lost Us Mag subscriptions, I think some of the cooler heads may have sent down the message to go with the flow and start documenting the Obama Campaign implosion.

“I have a feeling they may start to drive that media template about Obama.. its all about ratings, an Obama meltdown will be like sweeps week in the news market.”

One of the best money posts of the thread.

The mainstream media is at heart, a cold and calculating business. Ratings and eyeballs are everything for them. Give it another week of Obama making these enormous gaffes, and even the media will have to withdraw their support.

Once the media changes seats to the other side of the field, it is absolutely curtains for the Dems.
