Note two things,
the "not entirely" argument, where Scheer resorts to the same weasel talk he acuuses others of. Not entirely true alomst always translates to DAMN TRUE, which is why the right wiong loves that term.
and
he commands predominant media space by virtue of his office"
Sir, that died when Fox news took over, thanks in no small part to the Clintons. The Media will make what THEY want, because there is no obligation on them to be truthful, at all. It will take ten dollars to every five they spend just to end the swiftboating, because the media is complicit, bad news sells, and if trashing Obama makes bad news, they will push it, just like they dhieled Bush, because Bush's bungles made them MONEY..if he lost the election in 2004, they know they would have had to settle for Kerry.
