“It began, like the Obama presidency itself, with the loftiest of hopes and the greatest of expectations.”

Ok it took me about 30 seconds to become angry. The MSM built the “loftiest of hopes” brick by brick. They refused to ask the man questions and glossed/lied wherever they needed to get him elected. Now they step back and “observe” the dashed hopes of the people as if they had nothing to do with it. Am I to understand that the MSM intends to select someone else for us this time!!!?
“They refused to ask the man questions and glossed/lied wherever they needed to get him elected.”
That’s absolutely right; the perceived shift in coverage as of late leads me to believe that their internal polls indicate an election day disaster for Obama (that apparently can’t be averted with their normal deceptions), and they are trying to claw back some of the credibility they’ve lost over the last 20 years by playing “impartial” now.
Informed Americans have spent that time adjusting to different news sources to compensate; I don’t see the “mainstream media” ever going back to the position of influence it once held. The days of Dan Rather, Andrea Mitchell, and Soledad O’Brien (to name some of the most egregious offenders of late) being anything other than the voice of the left are over.
