Folks approve of Obama as much as they detest the GOP - who wants to report on a political blowout game in progress?

It is going to take a lot of Eastern Seaboard snowstorms to cover up the inevitable shitstorm of American liberal and common sense populism when it starts rolling. And, baby, it is rolling.

Keeping a lid on the fact that ALL of Obama's ideas, from the economy, to immigration, to infrastructure to health care, to climate change - the list goes on and on - are as popular with the folks as they are unpopular with the alien Congress is full time work for the traditional media - and it is wearing them down, one fake news anchor at a time, but if there is some collateral damage on the way to restoring an actual "Free" Press, so be it. Regrettable, but acceptable - maybe even necessary as a critical and seminal first step.

Exactly when, if I may ask, did democracy not become a clash of ideas protected by free speech and moderated by a guardian media? The traditional media is no longer playing the role of moderator, the guardian part was abandoned long ago, having sold out, literally, to be cheerleaders for ideology. Not a problem, but when are they going to give full disclosure?

Step aside, traditional media, your lying has finally caught up to you, the social media news tells it like it is, warts and all - the truth is just plain ugly some times. But lies get folks killed, truth just hurts momentarily.

Keep calm and carry on - verify, then trust - the traditional media no longer has a chance to lie America into another war, or to return the nation to Laffer Curve, supply side economic voodoo, there is just too much truth out there and we are it; Obama understands.
