You can't be loved and adored by everybody, but if you're President Barack Obama and it concerns the media, you can come awfully close.
In an interview on CNBC's June 16 "Closing Bell" with the network Washington correspondent John Harwood, Obama reflected on the media coverage he has received to date. Harwood asked the president to respond to the claim that lack of media criticism has allowed him to "hurt" the country.
"When you and I spoke in January, you said, I observed that you haven't gotten much bad press," Harwood said. "You said, ‘It's coming.' Media critics would say not only has it not come, but that you've gotten such favorable press either because of bias or because you're good box office that it's hurting the country because you're not sufficiently being held accountable for your policies. Assess that."

I agree, Hildy, the DC March is one thing, but I’m not sure anyone is paying attention. There has got to be someone in the Congress that can take him to task for trashing the Constitution.
I saw the fellow on TV (Fox of course)that was fired from being the oversight of Americorps and he sounds like he is going to do something....what I don’t know.
I checked out your hotel for the March but I was looking for somewhere where the majority is staying. I guess I’ll stay at the Sheraton with the Freepers. Hope to meet you at the covention.
Gee, Obama we are tired of you attacking America.
Astute observation. Twitters to the ready....
The Messiah can’t stand the presence of infidels in his kngdom.
What you've got to realize is that a lot of people are upset, but, they won't demonstrate, or even speak out.
They are afraid they might offend someone, or afraid their customers won't approve, or their boss won't agree. There are at least 100 excuses you may hear. It's got to get bad, really rotten bad, to make them move!
My father was as conservative as they come. He used to say not to worry, the pendulum would swing back. It didn't, and it won't, without a shove!
If everybody likes you, if you don't have any enemies, you are a spineless jellyfish. There is no nice way to say it!
If something as sick as Iran can fall apart thanks to Twitter and the Soviet Union can fall apart thanks to fax machines, we don't have much to fear.
We are truly in a “ Cold “ civil war.
he even had MTV signing up voters (on the “Real World”, they went into the inner city to register Democrats last year). He also has had several reporters quit the media to join the WH and/or the campaign.
Ditto. That’s what we said after we heard his “whiney” remark. If ya can’t stand the heat...get out of the kitchen. Bush stood the heat and didn’t cry like a baby.
If Obama isn't an immature buffoon, I don't know who is...
Send him a subscription to the British newspapers that have choice articles about him. Enclose a gift announcement card addressed to President Pantywaist.
Obama can’t stand opposition. It is a weakness and he could overplay his hand if he uses his power to attack Fox through the FCC or other agency.
It’s probably only a coincidence but the only “television station” attacking our crybaby “president” ALSO HAS THE HIGHEST RATINGS!
Whine, whine, whine. Yes, President Obama, FOX rails against you because you deserve it! If you were doing what is right for America, they would be your best friends. But you are not. Period.
He's wrong. I've often heard Bill O'Reilly say positive things about what Obama's done, to the point I've wondered if he's pandering to get Obama on his show.
Our Congressmen are very silent. They need to respond to us.
I don’t see what Zer0’s complaint is. At least 47% of the voters are against him but only 25% of the networks are. Sounds to me like he’s makin’ out on the deal.
Where are all the sane voices? WHERE ARE THEY? What has happened to this country?
