I think that we all have to come to terms with the fact that the media really isn't interested in breaking stories or giving real information that matters. We've all felt this way for a while, but we have to realize that that's the truth. All of those papers feel that they may be in line for a handout soon, and they don't want to piss off Obama. I wish that I was being sarcastic, but this is pretty much how I feel. “This brought a lot of understanding about why the media all cover the same stories on TV and the newspaper.”

This brought a lot of understanding about why the media all cover the same stories on TV and the newspaper. I tried to get him to have one of his reporters lokk into it or him but I could not get any other answer "The AP has not reported on this so it is not news..

How long will they continue to be dictated to? How could any good reporter sleep at night without asking questions and demanding answers, and holding O's feet to the fire. The Chrysler closings alone is raw meat for a good reporter - are they all vegetarians now? When will the media wake up? How long will they continue to be dictated to?

The Chrysler closings alone is raw meat for a good reporter – are they all vegetarians now?
