"....Team Obama was spoiled during the campaign by highly favorable
press coverage that flummoxed their rivals (just ask Hillary). They
benefited from what we have always believed is the most consistent bias
in journalism: Reporters are in favor of a good story and against
whoever is in power.

"Like Obama, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W.
Bush all profited from being outsiders who challenged a familiar and
fatigued establishment. (The only winner in 33 years who followed a
different strategy was George H.W. Bush). Once the election is over,
however, the pattern shifts. The press tilts against the man who has
gone from insurgent to insider; criticizing a president is a better
story than praising him, and that's a good thing. Every president has
enormous ability to shape and control what the public hears and sees;
only an independent media can keep him honest and hold him accountable.

"So the White House should stop whining about a vast Fox wing
conspiracy. It goes with the territory."


I'm sure the outrageous summer, with the lies about the health care
plan, Death Panels, has something to do with the decision to finally do
something.

What should they do, just let Fox continue to get more and more off
base?

You would think the extreme death panel argument would drive people away
from the source. Just how far would they take making **** up?

Did they kill grandma? Nope. I just read she's still baby sitting.

She's one of the lucky ones. I suggest that she keep a low profile. lol

Fox news is a "legitimate faction," according to Charles Krauthammer.

Faction: A group of persons forming a cohesive, usually contentious minority
within a larger group.

Sound about right. It's certain not much more than that.
