With Barack Obama’s track record almost four years into his presidency, you would think he deserves some tough questions from a media that supposedly prides itself on “speaking truth to power.” Hmm, not so much, that is if you’re a progressive Democrat politician whose policies the vast majority (say 90% plus) of those in the media embrace. It has gotten so bad that when the president actually gets asked tough questions by a Spanish language network it actually becomes news that he was asked tough questions!
No wonder that 60% of Americans in a new Gallup poll say they don’t trust the media. This 60% say that “they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.” I wonder why.
