State Run Media?

Is this what we want? Since Obama called out Fox and Limbaugh as some sort of radical opposition, does that mean we would be better off if every news network was an MSNBC or every interview was a 60 minutes softball fest? Why do we even have a Washington press corps if it's somehow wrong to ask questions that are actually critical of the president's policies? I've never seen a president with skin this thin and a media so willing to roll over on anything and everything that has the possiblity of making him look bad. It's becoming like Iran, only the media is covering voluntarily.

Obama is ambitious, first he wants to shred the 2nd amendment and now he wants to go after the 1st.

We are ruled by these people....and true journalists are rare anymore. How dare you question someone in government???

That is usually the order....The 2nd amendment protects the 1st.

Agree the so called Journalists don't do much real investigative reporting any more.

And the only Economist who gets in the news every week is that idiot Krugman, now he is calling for more debt, more stimulus, and government engineered 3-4% inflation. He says we should follow Japan.

There is no good media any more. They all shoot for a demographic instead of the truth

I agree, but they also want to tell us what THEY think we should know and not always what we SHOULD know.

To me, the most disturbing trend is the ease in which our poiticians can manipulate the media into telling the story the way they want it told (or not told). They may as well be gov't employees.

From Greg Gutfeld on Fox, "Obama is the Quarterback and Fox is the only cheerleader who won't put out for him."

The media is run for profit, like all other businesses. It is cute that anyone thinks that this was not the case at some point in the past.

The media is considered to be part of the checks and balance system, but there are no checks and it has no balance.

Weak minded people follow the media as if it is honest. Think about it, if it were not for the media, we would not be making a big deal out of a few people dieing. But because of the media, we can be tricked into reacting like we have been attacked by another country.

Profit run media. Nothing more, nothing less. It has always been that way.

The difference used to be that media didn't consume our lives. We lived and experienced things for ourselves. Now we have 24/7 news filled with sensationalism; war, murder, child abductions, insane celebrities, and we feel that is how our world is.
