I look for the mainstream media to recover from their temporary attack of conscience, and begin supporting him again soon. I hope I am wrong, but the media have priors.
Um.... Im not sure about that.... They have been very verbal in mocking him publicly on twitter and blogs. I think now it will be a race for them to write the most damning stories they can.

They haven't stopped loving him for a second. Any seemingly derogatory comments they have made are pleas for help. They are begging him to get on track and act like the made for television president that they created. They will not turn on their own child.
I wish you were going to be proven wrong, but I doubt it.

They are still very much on his side, but too many people can see that the emperor has no clothes. When it became impossible to conceal it anymore, they simply toned down their cheerleading (but certainly haven’t been objective in their treatment of him).
