Here's a shock.... I agree with you on one thing: The Obama Administration has been heavy-handed on the press. He honed his technique on FOX at the start. I thought the Administration was rather manipulative when certain reporters where tapped to cover the Obamas' trip to give a wedding present to William and Kate, on the exact same day as Bibi Netanyahu's speech to Congress.

 

After the inauguration, a certain Christian television network was approaching renewal. The Administration told them that if they heard -the one forbidden topic - (not the birth certificate), the FCC would label it as hate speech and pull their license.

Well, Christian TV isn't like the major networks. It is like a big infomercial because the ministries buy time. So, the owners of that particular network called on the buyers, such as Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Grant Jeffrey, et al; and they prohibited the "one forbidden topic." HTG! I heard it with my own ears.

 

I blame the Administration, and their increasingly Third-World-Dictator-Like tactics, but not the news. I didn't like it when Obama walked out during the budget meeting either. I mean, like, who does he think he is? Paris Hilton???
