It’s all here:

That is not the same video as one I posted somewhere here awhile back about the Brokaw-Rose exchange.
Replace the 'by' with 'while' in this VDH sentence taken from upstream in the article, and the story of the media turns funny. All of the strange factions which compose the democrat party are going to want their say, and in a big way, right now. It's going to be a riot watching the press reconcile the reactionary tribalism of some of these groups (racial identity, environmentalist wacko, etc.) with BO's purposely vague hope'N'change BS. He owes them all, big time. And the media, having accepted it's role as propaganda bureau, will be in the middle as they all try to stuff their agendas up the public's butt.
Sorry, VDH - - none of the above.
The Democrat newsrooms’ primary focus for (at least) the next four years will be to spin for and puff up their man every minute of the day in order to prove to everybody that they got a great president elected. They will be writing the great man’s legacy as they go along, no matter what he does.
Absolutely nothing else matters to them.
“Mea culpa”?? LMAO, no way.
I’m waiting for Obama’s proclamation that the official language of the US will be Swedish and that all underwear will be worn outside the clothes.
My gut feeling is that the DBM will see and see very soon that O is not ready for prime time - never was - never will be. I think the DBM will start to get really scared.
The DBM will not want to shoulder any of the blame for having anointed O, so they will try a couple of things, 1) pretend they’ve just discovered something new and horrible about O, 2) try to claim that the GOP has dumped this new and horrible information out there to discredit O.
That will accomplish two things: 1) absolve them of not reporting the new and horrible things before the election because, after all, they were just discovered - how could they have known? and 2) bring down wrath on the GOP, esp. by moderates and minorities who will take umbrage at perceived smears and attempts to destroy O.
The DBM should not be allowed to get away with this.
That’s why I prefaced that quote from the article with my “snort!” I realize he’s rarely going to get in front of the camera to take questions.
