Obama has main stream media in his pocket

Byron York has a report at the link below that says:

Obama can treat media with contempt since he knows they’ll always be ‘on his side’

Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York contended in a recent column, “ “Fawning press now gets cold shoulder from Obama.” After all, “Obama treats them with contempt because he knows that when big tests come, they've always been on his side. There's no reason for him to think they won't be there in the future.”

“Most of you covered me,” he told the media elite at the 2009 White House Correspondents' Association dinner. “All of you voted for me.” That's the attitude coming out of the Oval Office every day.

Why does Obama do it? Because he can.

York echoed what Rich Lowry, Editor of the National Review where York used to toil, observed on FNC’s Fox Newswatch over the weekend: Obama has “contempt” for the Washington press corps, so “it's always been an unrequited one-way love affair.”

Many of the political correspondents, such as Chip Reid, are not happy with the “one-way love affair.” However, if they want to keep their jobs they will continue to fawn over Obama because their bosses will always be on the side of a liberal Democrat.
