Obama and his lap-dog media

Rick Moran;  Bizarre Example of Obama Worship in the Media "I can’t recall in 45 years of media watching ever coming across anything as corrupting to professional journalism as this. He actually expected the president — the man he is paid to cover according to the ethics and standards (a stretch with CNN, I know) of professional journalism — to call and chat him up on an informal and friendly basis. It’s hard to pick what’s more bizarre — his belief that his pitiful missives actually stimulated the thinking of the president of the United States, or that he could entertain the idea of developing a personal relationship with Barack Obama."

CBS News Political Director: 'Pulverize GOP' Objective 'Analysis'  "I honestly believe that one of the Lefts' primary tactics is to endlessly exhaust us with this kind of relentless tactical nonsense.
"If Dickerson was indeed writing analysis, he did an awfully good job of disguising it as naked advocacy. Here are the opening paragraphs of Dickerson's original piece. Please tell me at which point this Obama cheer-leading distinguishes itself as anything nearing objective analysis: "....

Obama Speech Ignores Failed Economy; Media Gushes Anyway   "If you were dumb enough to get your news only from the mainstream media, you would think that economic times are so flush today, the American president can afford to squander his second term socially re-engineering America. "

From our Dream-On file: Obama's Greatest Legacy Might Be Destroying the Media  "The media might think they're partners with Barack Obama, but in reality they're his cannon fodder. Obama uses, lies to, dismisses, and openly mocks the media. Still, like bug-eating Renfelds diseased by The Master's influence, they live only to serve. But The Master can't save them, and his open contempt for them means he won't even try."
Let's call Letterman "the press" because that is where many low-information voters get their news and commentary.
