On issue after issue, in fact, the media haven't covered Obama as much as they've covered up for him, whether it's the dismal state of the economy, the failure of his policies or the increased troubles abroad.
The effort worked remarkably well, helping to shield Obama from responsibility, protecting his image and providing a solid floor under his approval ratings.
But ... the fact remains that the country faces huge problems that must be addressed. And after the election, the press is sure to churn out what can charitably be called "now they tell us" stories about these matters, once any potential election impact has passed.

Remember that watergate happened before Nixon won reelection, it was only after his victory that it broke wide open and took him down.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the same happens to Obama.
this is silly. stories like Fast and Furious and any other story (fill in story of your choice, Libya, etc) WILL NEVER BE COVERED. It is not that they were waiting until after the election, it is that they will ***never*** cover a story that is damaging to the overall Rat party. They are the propaganda instrument of the Rat party.
The media won Obama re-election, why would they undo that?
I would. As of this morning, they are beginning to create his legacy, and they just realized that you can cover up for a black President and get away with it. The media blackout will turn into media apathy.
No, the main story is how the mean TEA Party House members will have to compromise (i.e. “cave”) to Obama, now that he has his mandate. GAG....any so-called “conservative” who falls for this line from the Democrat media should be primaried out in 2014. Keep score.
As I stated in another post. Time to go scorched earth on the old media.
Over 50% of the sheeple that voted, still think the Economy being bad is “BUSH’S FAULT!”.
It’s now painfully obvious that you can’t fix stupid. And it’s likely a fatal condition.
BULLS*#@T ... they won’t do anything different then what they are doing now.
Otherwise it would expose them for the frauds they are.

I would be very surprised. The media detested Nixon. The media loves Obama. But we can hope.
Would you really be ready for “President” Biden???
But don't worry; you'll feel much better after the Two Minutes Hate and a splash of Victory gin.
The Victory gin, it burns!
I would. I'd be absolutely floored if Benghazi has any effect on him at all. For all the usual reasons.
“Would you really be ready for “President” Biden???”
Absolutely, I pick stupid over evil every time.
No matter what they discover, Obama has the best job protection in the universe, and his name is Joe Biden.
The Official Obam administration response to the pleas for help from Bengahzai - sign on door knob "Please Do Not disturb"
I say we go over the cliff. Let the situation right itself.
Hurricane Sandy coverage that was delayed because it made Obama look bad. Some will shock most.
Another GM bailout. All the money the gubmint gave them is almost gone.
Jobs numbers. MSM doesn't have to slant them anymore to win it for the One. They're worse than most thought and won't get much better soon.
