I suspect (hope) that Obama’s free pass from the media just expired.

They were always far more about defeating Romney than supporting Obama. Now that R has been defeated, there is prestige and career advancement to be won by exposing O scandals. Their personal incentives now outweigh their ideological ones.

I can dream, can’t I?

It is going to appear that way soon. Now that Zero got re-elected much of the media is going to try to appear they are on the center to boost their non-ratings. But, when the next election occurs they will jump right back to where they were before this election.

That's just my prediction.

A pleasant dream it is.
Meanwhile, back in reality, the instructive case is Dan Rather and the fraudulent “Texas Air National Guard memos."

What did Dan Rather do when it was proven that the TANG “memos” story had more holes than Swiss cheese? He doubled down. He confidently expected to be exonerated and the subject changed, and to continue business-as-usual. And to a large measure he was absolutely right. CBS hired an “investigator” for the purpose of whitewashing the affair, and they swept it under the rug.
Even tho it is true that Rather was indeed forced out.
The reality of this case is that Fox News was all over Benghazi, and the rest of journalism was studiously MIA. Do you now suppose that the rest of journalism is now going to go all “mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa” after the fact? Do you now suppose that the rest of journalism is going to give Fox News awards for courageous journalism? They will continue to circle the wagons and stonewall. It’s what they do. Their bias is expressed far more in what they do not say than it is in what they do say. And in this case it isn’t just CBS but all of journalism except Fox News which is actively involved in keeping the public in the dark. And, in the process, slandering Fox News.
The idea around which “liberalism” coheres is that nothing actually matters except PR.
