Interesting commentary to everyone but WUW.

I am an Obama supporter and was disappointed by a few of the instances in the article. The piece was very balanced.
However, it does not effect the way I feel about his performance nor does it diminish my support for him.
Republicans whining about unfair press coverage is tiresome.
Who says media coverage is supposed to be fair?

Didn't Obama complain that Fox wasn't fair?

No, but don't let that get in the way of another rant...

“It’s very hard for me to swallow that one,” Obama said. “First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” he added.

No rant. No need. That is a direct quote.

Nobody thinks the media is covering them fairly. I remeber Bush I, Clinton and W. all complaining that they were being persecuted by certain parts of the media. All they were all correct to an certain extent.
Obama can join that crew.

Then I assume that you are saying that everyone complaining about media coverage is tiresome, not just republicans. And I do agree with that point.

That is my point it is tiresome and everyone does it.
Next we will get a major news story that the press focuses on negative stories more than positive ones, or that baseball coaches get too much credit for wins and too much blame for losses.

You are correct, sir. I used to be a sports journalist for a small paper in southern Ohio and even if the news guys wanted to do a positive story, they had to wait until the Sunday edition. For whatever reason, bad news sells, good news doesn't.

Fox News attacked Obama and his wife from day 1. Just like all bullies, they can dish it out but they sure can't take it.

Remember who was president when we were attacked in 2001? I wonder if Vak and his buds would have given Obama a pass if it happened with him as pres.

America knows what Fox News is.
