"....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.

Lying goes with the territory? *Sad that so many people accept this.

This whole thing is being orchestrated to take advantage of the up and
coming "censorship doctrine". That's why Obama is comparing Fox to
"talk radio" who the censorship doctrine aims to destroy. The desired
outcome is to silence all detractors through intimidation or
censorship.. Democrats don't even want debate, they want to control
the media and can't stand up to opposing points of view. Look at what
happened to that guy that tried to ask Al Gore a question at a "news
conference", he had his mike shut off, period...
