One year later, Obama’s media honeymoon shows no sign of waning. -- Money, health issues dominate the marriage’s first year, but journalists still in love.

It’s been a year since the American public first said “I do” to Barack Obama and it’s still a honeymoon period for the mainstream press. The first year of marriage might have been a bit rocky, but journalists still have that crush on Obama.
The first time they ever really saw him speak, their hearts leapt. It was love at first sight. The media already had a betrothed who had promised them “Hillarycare” and taught them “It Takes a Village.” That all changed when Obama gave the keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in 2004. At ABC, Charles Gibson predicted: “Last night, a political star may have been born.” ............

By the end of a year, the relationship became one sided. The White House, like a nagging shrew, began picking at the flaws it saw in the press. The Associated Press and others were lambasted for criticizing Obama as talk of an "enemies list" filled the news.

Well the shine is certainly worn off for me, what there was of it to start with.

I can never understand such sickening love for one person. Maybe Im just too cynical to understand.

Isn't it a bit ironic how a journalist is criticizing how there's still a love affair between journalists and Obama.

But he's obviously not a real journalist. See, he works for Fox news. He can be dismissed as irrelevant.

Liberal media.... The most liberal president in American history... It's a match made in heaven.

Asking the media to turn on Obama, is like asking a wife to testify against her husband in court.

Not as ironic as a network that boasts its superior ratings and still bashes the mainstream media.

In American history?

I think that's a stretch. I think it depends on who your wife is and who you are.

Well not really, in fact it is kind of a tradition if you replace the word Obama with POTUS.
