I have no disagreement with your new analogy. It is basically true. However, as with the previous analogy, that of whores complaining when they are not paid, abused housewives occasionally decide that they have had it, and either leave or take matters into their own hands. Barack may just show up in the Oval Office one day, wife-beater undershirt on, cigarette in mouth, beer in one hand, and looking for someone to blame for his latest excess, and the little wifey - read mainstream media - isn’t there with blackened eye and dutiful look to satisfy him.

Again, we’ll see.

But that's only if the mainstream media has no one to turn to. But wait, look over there! There is someone!
