“Liberal media bias is an old complaint,” the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto noted in his “Best of the Web Today” column this past Monday on responses to the Obama scandals, before warning: “The Obama presidency has given it a new and dangerous form. Never has the prevailing bias of the media been so closely aligned with the ideological aims and political interests of the party in power.”
He recognized “the American media remain free and independent, or you would not be reading this column,” but zinged, “to a large extent they have functioned for the past few years as if they were under state control.” …

I’ve heard more than one person say, that the media is much more in the tank for Obama than other previous Democrat presidents, or other liberal politicians.
The ongoing scandals will reveal how much in the tank the media are for Obama. Will they go after the truth and dig as deeply as they dug during Watergate, for example?
He’s the only president in history that the media never vetted. That in itself is diabolical. The sheer bulk of the scandals is not something they can actively deflect without even the low-info voters catching on.
One good thing about the Obama Regime, they encouraged their toads in the state controlled “media” to come out of the closet and admit that they are nothing but a bunch of lowlife commie libs who do whatever their commie massas down at the DNC tell them to do. “Media bias” is now out there in the open.
You can include public education with the media in that category as well.
They have perfected their ability to form the narrative so well, I sometimes doubt even Reagan would be successful with their stranglehold on the public. If we can't figure how to take them out, we will perpetually lose.
It has been noted way before the AP leak, it was quite clear something is just not right. There is just no way that every editor, journalist and news outlet is willing to throw their careers and reputations down the toilet for Obama. If there was an investigation, it would be found that there are threats, blackmail, paybacks, and corruption from the WH to media. This also applies to skewed polls, intentionally doctored to enhance Obamas favorability. All one as to do is look at twitter, YouTube and other blogs to realize Obama isn’t even close to being as popular as polling data suggests. It is all manufactured to mainstream Obama.
Excellent article.
