all the news that's fit to print

Don't be so sure about the media turning on Obama. It knows that if it turns, it will be turning on itself. All the effort, time and emotion to get Obama into the White House would have been for naught. Not to mention its own lost credibility.

Besides, who is there other than Obama that would be acceptable to the press? Republicans are still spineless poison. What's left? Hillary? Kerry? Gore? Losers, every one.

No, the press is wedded to Obama ('till death do them part). If Obama stumbles, the press stumbles too. They will continue to gin him up. The vast majority of the public won't be fooled again. But what the public thinks won't matter. In an age of rampant ignorance, partisanship, illiteracy, spin, bailouts and American Idol, it won't matter if you sell newspapers or not; if you have listeners, or viewers or not. All you have to do is continue to spin the narrative: Obama is great! He has come to save us from ourselves. Bush did more damage than anyone imagined. The world is about to melt anyway. And so on and so on...

No, they won't let it go. They'll spin success as failure; failure as success. Already the NYT is publishing almost daily articles about 'Doing More With Less', 'Going Back to Basics', and the like. They think they're preparing us for the senseless devastation that still lies ahead. They think they can make us feel good about it. And perhaps they could, if anyone were still reading their papers or watching the evening news.

We’ve arrived at a crossroads in this country. It’s either them or us. Expecting the press to defect is like expecting Hillary or Michelle to leave their husbands. If we, by simply sitting on our hands, can break this government choke-hold on us (I hear that Government Motors global sales fell another 22% in the first half of 2009 – strong work, people!), we will have shown the world that the concept of ‘revolution’ is not owned by the Left alone. It can be equally effective the other way around. It need not be violent. We do not seek their blood. We just want them put them back in their place by showing that there are more of us than there are of them.

Since the era of late, great Walter Krankheit (sic), the unelected leadership of the MSM has been effectively running the nation. It is the one thing the founding fathers never foresaw could happen. The press selected Obama to be its standard bearer. If Obama fails, they fail. If the people prevail, the new media will dominate, and the NYT will no longer be in a position to dictate public policy. I’m betting on an America in which The John Batchelor Show will be a primary source for "all the news that’s fit to print".
