Worm Turns on the Obamamedia  Laura Hollis  5/29/2013 12:01:00
AM - Laura Hollis  It’s been a bad few weeks for the Obama
administration. But it’s been even worse for the President’s
hardcore advocates in the press, who are struggling to come up
with a narrative that reconciles their view of Barack Obama as
the Greatest Progressive President Ever with the IRS’ use of its
power to bludgeon the President’s political opponents, the new
testimony of Benghazi whistleblowers whose stories betray the
White House’s deceit about the events that transpired on
September 11, 2012, and most recently, the Justice Department’s
wiretapping of AP and Fox News reporters’ phones.  The
“mainstream” media’s standard tack has been either largely to
ignore the Obama administration’s abuses of power, to give them
minimal coverage, or to argue that -- whatever happened -- it’s
just a blip; an aberration being “politicized” by Republicans.
This would have been clearer to the general public much earlier
