MSM Responsible for Obama
Roger Simon has this to say about the MSM ever evolving position on Obama:
According to Politico and PJM’s own Jennifer Rubin, barely two months after the inauguration, the mainstream media has its proverbial knickers in a twist over Obama’s ineptitude in office. Even Thomas Friedman - that most conventional of all purveyors of the conventional (except David Gergen - and he’s been straying off the reservation too) - is now complaining the onetime Messiah is not taking the financial crisis seriously enough, “getting in trouble cracking jokes on Jay Leno comparing his bowling skills to a Special Olympian.” Meanwhile, CNN is appalled the President pushed through a skillion page skillion dollar stimulus bill no one seems to have read.
Hello, children, you elected this guy. Take some responsibility!
Later on he states:
But they will be blamed - by us and by other people. They deserve to be. Their day is over. While pretending to be the friends of democracy, they have been the enemies of it. Their views have been so monolithic serious debate nearly vanished in this country. Only now, in the ferment of a still relatively tiny Tea Party movement, do you see the stirrings of bona fide discussion. Let’s hope there is more to come. And that the mainstream media, even if they don’t resign, will no longer be the gatekeepers.

The bias that the MSM has that people don’t talk about is a bias for negative reporting…. Look at all of content on their pages… Negative stories come first, whether it be local news, sports news or politics…. Heck, even negative weather gets more attention.
Did you really think the MSM would turn into the positive news department just because BHO was elected?

I agree that one of the MSM preference is for negative news. Negative news and left leaning narratives.

And I agree they are left leaning… But they would be more than happy to squash BHO if they thought it would sell through negativity.
