And the worse he acts, the more they (the press) worship him!

It’s that “transparency” thing that makes the Obama regime so “hostile”. If MSNBC thinks it has it tough, imagine how FOX feels. The commie ‘RATS are always hammering FOX for putting out the truth about what is going on in that sewer up in D.C.

Three against one in favor of the people? What’s happening to MSNBC’s leftist credibility here?

The MSM is feeling slighted because Obama doesn’t think they’re doing his propaganda well enough. Their feelings are hurt.

My post from an earlier thread:

Franken, you’ve got it backward. The MSM of today is the most butt-licking in U.S. history.

From before he was elected, you gave off all the signals that you would ignore what he wanted to be ignored and highlight what he wanted to be highlighted.

You remind me of the girlfriend that hangs on the mobster. Never make him look bad no matter what he does. Always make him look good no matter what he does. Always look up to him with a smile and adoring eyes. Always forgive him when he mistreats you. Always forgive his violence to you and others. Always do what he asks, no matter how repellant. Always allow yourself to be used as he pleases. And love it.

Admit it, Franken. I am right, you are wrong. What he does comes naturally. You guys have to work hard to ignore it. Once that is established, he can ignore you since you have surrendered control to him.

Then only way out, the only way to take back your self-respect, if you want, is to gang up on him and let him have it with everything you can dig up.

But you are chicken poop and won’t do it. Franken, you will stick with ‘going after absentee landlord’ type stories, the way you got your “investigative reporter” start in Cleveland. You were a much better reporter back then. Now you make me laugh to go crying on TV, the spurned lover. You should be embarrassed.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

OMG - three honest-to-God real journalists... who are totally starting to get it. The black woman journalist even suggested that for some of the off-the-record private (secret) meetings Obama has with journalists, that conservatives should be included. She also stood with photo-journalists who are sick of history being manipulated...

Thanks EveningStar for posting this... amazing that it was on MSNBC...

beaten wife syndrome. They will apologize for getting angry at him, then return to licking his shoes and folding his underwear.

The White House photographer Pete Souza knows ALL about Barry’s relationship with Reggie Love. There’s a reason why Pete Souza is the only photographer allowed to take photos at Obama’s private events and his name is Reggie Love.

The MSM press are frustrated that they “put out” in hopes of a “long term close relationship” with Obama and now they are being treated like a one night stand.

"to gang up on him and let him have it with everything you can dig up."

... including an in-depth examination of that so-called "Birth Certificate."
