Piercing article revealing the *news medias* new position within Americas society/culture...Presidential lapdog and propaganda machine.

"You had us <me> at Hello."

What movie was that from?

That line seems to work just as well for Obama and the MSM.

New?

Hardly. They did the same thing with Bush and in some cases still do. Corporate media doesn't want to anger the powers that be, it's just that simple. Whatever happens to be the "Washington Consensus" they will protect because they want access to the powerful.

Just look at the Libby case.

Boy...you must not have watched very many Bush press conferences. They had fun with him and then smirked and bragged about it. It was a badge of honor to be disrespectful of THAT President.

I still liked what Steyn said...something like President Obama was cutting back on WH activities on the National Day of Prayer. He just held a press conference & all the WH press corps fell to their knees and worshiped.

Oh but I did. And they simply repeated everything the WH said as fact, hardly question him at all. In fact it was Bush who bullied many a reporter. It wasn't until after Katrina that the press grew some backbone....some been the operational word.

I for one approve of what Obama did on that day, prayer should be private. I don't need a President making fake pronunciations of faith,
