I've seen plenty of negative reporting on Obama's economic policy from moderate voices in the mainstream media.
Or, have you watched MSNBC at night lately? They've been taking Obama to task over not releasing interrogation photos. I had thought they weren't allowed to do this by their cheer leading instructor.
This isn't rocket science.
The same media who people whined were unfair to Bush also hammered President Clinton relentlessly.
The media wasn't after Bush at the beginning of his term or during the 9/11 fallout.
Hell, it was the New York Times, flag bearer of the Liberal Media who did the most to publicize the false WMD accusations that led us to IRAQ!
It was after the Administration started making dumb mistakes, tried to cover them up, used the war to win elections and generally speaking placed ideology ahead of mainstream interests - - that the media really went nuts.
Of course it was all about the man, they hated Bush right? Bull%$%$%$%$...it was all about policy.
Obama isn't being given any free pass, and everyone who voted for him is looking very closely to see if he does what he says he would do. Of course, the Punditry who makes money by tearing him down might have a different opinion.
How convenient.
