“if Obama should win, and the economy collapses, the MSM might just turn on him,”
It will not happen. They are going down with the ship.
Naw, I think that MSM’s corporate daddies would pull the leashes on the editors in the event of an economic collapse affecting their interests. Keep in mind that during the Watergate it was the owner of the Washington ComPost, one Katherine Graham (sp?) who drove the action against Nixon (not for economic reasons, admittedly, but still, it was the business interests that dictated to the editors.)
If Romney wins and turns the economy around, people won’t hear about it. We could have 0% unemployment, but the MSM would concentrate on stories about a poor, black, disabled, gay, autistic female starving artist from inner city Detroit unable to work or pay medical bills because the entitlements don’t cover some weird STD. It’s always something.
