Last summer before the election there were all kinds of rumors running rampant here at FR, but one of the more interesting ones was that a fairly-high profile staffer from one of the big three networks was intoxicated at a D.C. party and let it slip that her network was supporting Obama and wanted to see him elected not because they were enamored with him but because he and his associates were so corrupt that the network’s ratings would spike sky-high not long into his presidency.

I always wondered if there were even a kernel of truth to it.

I remember that post. The way I remember the post the press had plenty of dirt on Obama but they were going to keep quiet until sometime after election and then they would let loose on Obama in order to get their ratings up. Like you, I wonder if their any truth to it.

God knows that as a Chicago machine politician, Obama has been in many dirty deals but the question is whether the State Run Media will report on any of them. Right now, I would say no.
