Most people think that public opinion is controlled by the MSM or at least the combination of the news departments of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. AS well as CNBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox News channel.

They are not the image makers they pretend to be. Their total audience is about 35 million people. There are 305 million Americans and they reach a bit over 10 percent.

It is the media that determines public opinion, but it is the Lenos OBriens, and Lettermans who determine what most Americans think. It is not the newscasters and reporters or even the commmentators. It is the entertainment shows that tell jokes that control what voters think about Presidents.

For 8 years the comedians on TV have trashed George W. Bush night after night after night. And each of them has a larger audience than the news casts and news channels combined.

So what will the comedians do in the next 4 years. There is not 4 years of jokes left in a former president. Bush will certainly lay low for the next 4 years.

Leno, O’Brien and Letterman viewers know little of politics, but the comedians need a butt for their jokes. And that during the next four years that will be Barrack Obama. Everyone knows his name and when every he says something stupid or something goes wrong he will be the butt of the network commedy show jokes.

The MSM may spend the next 4 years kissing Obama’s rump. But the comedians need laughs and they will not spare Obama at a cost to their ratings. They will nail his a$$ to the same tree they nailed Bush. They may vote for him in 2012 but that will not stop the jokes at obama’s expense.

The most politically powerful men in the USA are the major network comedians. Politicians know it... the MSM just refuses to report it.

" But the comedians need laughs and they will not spare Obama at a cost to their ratings. They will nail his a$$ to the same tree they nailed Bush. They may vote for him in 2012 but that will not stop the jokes at obama’s expense."

I wouldn't be so sure of that. They crucified Imus for his "nappy-headed little hoes" comment. IT will be a slippery slope for Letterman, Leno, et al. Any criticism, joking or othersie, will be construed as "racist" and the leftist attack dogs Sharpton & Jackson shall unleash their fury & increase their "already-undeserved" national stature.
