It isn't about being close to power after all, it's about the corporate interests of the media. You'd think that after Barack Obama's LANDSLIDE victory on Tuesday, the talking heads of the media would want to get on board with the new corridors of power. But you'd be wrong. Instead, the word "resounding" is used instead of "landslide", and fifteen minutes into "Morning Joe" today, they're falling all over themselves making sure America knows this isn't ANYTHING like Ronald Reagan's win in 1980. Of course it can't be. After all, Ronald Reagan was a Republican, who like the ancient Roman leaders, has become a god after his death. Barack Obama is not only a Democrat, but one whose "pigmentation is unseemly". He can't possibly have been elected with the same level of good will. That isn't in the corporate media playbook.

he cant wait to find the first "misstep" and he is jumping all over the Rahm Emmanuel story -- which even Andrea is calling a big nothing.....

Let the rat-things of the Republican party underestimate Obama again.
We saw how well that worked out.
The corporate media is so out of touch...and its a huge mistake to pander to the ugly underbelly of this country right now.
But Joe represents the disgruntled assholes out there who are full o sour grapes.
The disgustingly large contract that Hannity just got indicates that there is a perceived market for this crap...but hopefully it will fall back to the fringes.
maybe humanity will become fashionable again...
What planet have you been living on?
