And, this is the key observation. Even the libs know that the "news" media are lying political activists. Importantly, NOBODY likes being lied to.
The media have chosen to sacrifice what cred they had to promote and defend Mister Obama; and, THEY are the big losers. Once caught in a lie, credibility is difficult, if not impossible to regain. (Just ask Dan THE FORGER Rather)
As Mister Obama's past, his lies, and corruption become more apparent, folks will correctly blame the news media, as they have functioned as gatekeepers (however temporarily) of information.
