When Barack Obama decided that questions from the German press about his trip agenda in that country were too pesky, he told the reporters, "So, stop it all of you!" He just wanted them to ask things he wanted to talk about. Well, what politico wouldn't want that?
OK, dad. We'll behave.
And according to a new Pew Research Center poll, we are behaving...like fans. On domestic press, it showed that "President Barack Obama has enjoyed substantially more positive media coverage than either Bill Clinton or George W. Bush during their first months in the White House" with "roughly twice as much" Obama coverage about his "personal or leadership qualities" than was the case for either previous president.
We thought there was media bias under Bush. And there was quite a bit. But sometimes you can excuse hatred as the media playing their adversarial role with government.
But this is like nothing we have seen in my memory. This love affair with Obama has so called journalists swooning. And it is not good for our nation.
