In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda.
The press is simply not hiding anymore.

No you are both wrong.  It's like mega-awesome kick ass president time.

this is beyond fucked up... socialized healthcare will be the finishing move on this once great country... Change you can't believe...
Wonder how many people that voted for this guy are really sorry now?  Free healthcare isn't free...
Hope that nobody in your family has to suffer or die.... by not making the cut for treatment with the rationing that is coming... 
The govt has bankrupted medicaire...social security...postal service...they couldn't even run a couple of small restaurants for themselves....
Let's give them another chance to quadruple down on socialized healthcare... Nothing the govt has ever run has saved money or worked out favorably...

I knew there would be a big crazy liberal backlash after 8 years of crazy neo conservatism but this is a bigger one than even I thought!

You guys can't do anything right these days without swinging, wildly, from left to right and right to left

This last line is true. I had the very same thought while reading the paper this morning. If our presidencies just progress via blaming everything on the predecessor and undoing all of that work, we're not going to make any progress. Also, I got tired of the crazy liberal folk who wouldn't shut the hell up about Bush when he was in office and now the crazy conservatives won't put a sock in it about everything Barack does.

Yep, there were no issues with former Pentagon officials becoming corporate news jockeys riding the party line into nightly newscasts under Bush.  There were no instances of newscasters being paid for their official party line "news" reports under the Bush Administration.

Keep regurgitating this bile partisan political bullshit with your blinders on.

And Mitch, Drudge is a Republican shock jock wannabe Rush Limbaugh...its thinly veiled Repug commentary.  Drudge actually makes a few good points from time to time though, unlike the cantankerous windbag that is Rush.

Ken, what does that have to do with the merits of the story, for five hundred.

Is the media mostly parroting the admins point of view or not?

The day the press ceases to be skeptical and even hostile to whoever is president is the day the country begins to die.

it always does

During Bush, FOX was the state-run media

This time around, it looks like ABC or maybe CNN is

Dude, the media from day one was controlled by the political elite...the founding fathers fostered public sentiment for their vision of our country through thinly veiled "news" and commentary in the form of pamphlets and newsletters and letters to the editor.  Much is the same for modern media today - policy is thought up and forced to the public in the form of editorials in major newspapers all the time.  Think tanks flood editorial pages with new policy proposals to bounce them off the public - to test opposition or support for their agendas/proposed policies.  The media parrots the corporate concentrated capital line, end of.  It doesn't parrot solely Dem or Repub viewpoints, it parrots the diarrheaic mindset of the people in charge, the bleeders of individual thought and dissent.

It's hard for me to comment on an editorial so rife with whiny complaints and lack of comprehension of the historical connection between politics and media, because it's ridiculously hard for me to read monkey dung like the article referenced in the OP.  There is no merit to the story - anyone and everyone that fails to blindly follow partisan politics in America (and recognizes the dumbing down of American people through media hot topic partisan political bullshit like abortion, immigration, gay marraige, blah blah blah) sees it for what it is - more of the same, the media acting like the fourth branch of the government.

Well, I found this amazing new way to protest the actions of corporate entities.

Don't consume their products. ABC can air what they want, and you can watch what you want. Hooray for freedom. What would annoy me is Obama spending a disproportionate amount of time with outlets that do not offer opposing opinions.

"Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information
This can be done through state run media.
Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information.
Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run."

This is how to create an ENEMY!  This is how to START A WAR!

Anti-Flag is for the cause, but they are simpleton emo-fags.
