Just because it wasn't on MSM, which has been proven to edit out or not at all report but distort, every single word out of this man's mouth for 6 years, is not his fault. He has had an unrelenting travel schedule and gone to every state that would have him, and some where no official would greet or talk to him.
He has talked tough in all those venues, but he's not allowed on MSM. Because we are controlled by that group of media that you mention as 'I mean all they hear now is right wing b.s.' If that is your source, Faux and MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR and every other mealy mouthed media venue, that is what you will think, too.
Many of us realized this POTUS has been under a media blackout for years and even if on CSPAN or other channels for SOTU and other events, they give more time to his detractors than him, speak over and don't allow his voice to be heard. Obama is not a dictator who can order them to cover him lock step every day. That is not going to happen and he should not do that.
The media have chosen, because their owners have, to make sure that he isn't heard. I haven't even gone into what they did to radio with shutting down all progressive voices and cutting them off the air, while continuing to push the rightwingers.
