Obama and the Media
I've seen a few articles over the last week or so about this theme--Obama's disregard for and treatment of the media. Come to think of it, two of them were in the Post. Could have something to do with it. Anyway, I kinda liked the story about how Barry slipped the press corps to go to his daughter's soccer game--but it was reported as a serious breach. I mean, do we really need to track his every single moment for the historical record? It doesn't help that the media are such whining brats.

I love that Obama went to the soccer game without notifying the press. Good for him as a dad, for god sakes.
my only concern is that the petty press people do have one pretty powerful tool in retaliation: they can spin stories to be hurtful to his administration. I would hope they wouldn't do that, but would it be that surprising?
For instance, undoubtedly the major TV, online and printed media outlets will report on tea bag protests today. But will the coverage offer equal--if not more--time to the reality that taxes for most Americans are at historic low levels?

yeah, the tea party bs is the headline story on cnn.com it doesn't deserve the level of coverage, for sure.
I would love to attend a tea party rally and hold up signs like these San Franciscans did to counter those sickos from that Westboro Baptist Church who show up at military funerals and hold up signs saying the death was god's judgement on America being too gay friendly.
At a tea bag rally, I think my sign would say, "I Can Spell"
