Gosh, I’ve been thinking just the opposite. He has empowered and emboldened the media to openly mock, lie and use their platform for ridicule and endorsement. I think the media is far more powerful now and they know it.
Kinda like Frankenstein destroying hs creator.
Seriously though, why would BHO want to turn on his biggest cheerleaders?
I think that any time we, collectively, speak, hear or read anything about a journalist, Mainstream Media, or political pundits, we should laugh. Laugh hard. Deride and debase them as if they were child predators. Ridicule them, marginalize them. They should be the number one joke in the country after Obama.
The Media has been destroying themselves for the last 50 years, Obama just gave them a good excuse to put a brick on the accelerator.
Wow - they committed journalism - unforgivable....
I suspect there will be a public media bailout bill. Lofty rhetoric will be crafted about the need for vibrant newspapers and broadcast media to bind America together, and then public funding will be made available to the NYT, the Wash Compost, CNN, etc. for the common good. Boehner may even participate and then extol the benefits of bipartisanship.
Every honest American should consider it their duty to expose, ridicule and denigrate the media each and every day.
I listen to conservative talk radio, am a frequent reader of FR posts, etc. The common thread to problems with Conservative values and the GOP is that we can not get our message out. The complaint is a broken record. How do we get them to move closer to the center? (at least)
My idea was that we should go after the media in the court of popular opinion. Let’s “out” them! Doesn’t David Gregory / Chris Mathew’s etc have some skeletons in their closet?
But then watching the innauguation yesteday and listening to Rush today, I came to the conclusion that bringing their past and current foibles to the front - yeah, that’s blackmail - they would only be raised to celebrity status (such as Bill Clinton, Kim Kardashian, Anthoney Weiner....) and strengthened more.
Reminds me of Hitler’s insiders who were drug addidcts, homosexuals (when that was not as “normal” as today) and occultists.
I tend to agree with you. The media and Obama have a symbiotic relationship, and each of them makes the other more powerful.
Nothing is going to come between them. And they plan to crush everything and everyone in their way.
The media destroyed themselves. Obama is just taking advantage of the circumstance.
Imagine when a Republican is president—and he uses all the powers taken by Obama to help his party, followers and beliefs.
Then what will it matter?
Imagine when a Republican is president....

I doubt I will see one again in my lifetime; the fix is in, and there will be no more honest presidential elections.
Destroy the media? Make it so.
That will be true as long as the other side keeps rolling over and accepting it.
At some point, noses need to be bloodied.
I loved the last sentence in the article.
