Buyers remorse?
I guess even the adoring MSM does not quite trust the Lord Obama to only strangle conservative voices. He has made threatening gestures in the past towards liberal pressies who fail to toe his line.
It’s also becoming quite clear that he does not intend to bail out the newspapers. And he can’t give ALL of them cushy government jobs (though he has made a manful effort in this direction).
Just wait till 0 comes out with his plan to increase diversity through local control over licensing boards.
The SPJers will be falling over each other to be first in line to support the plan.
