23. NPR evidently doesn't even know he's running

This is unbelievable - heard at top of hour newscap on radio, then went to website only to see the same thing

http://www.npr.org/2016/01/10/462581269/5-things-to-watch-for-in-obamas-final-state-of-the-union

4. How will Obama use the speech to help Hillary Clinton's campaign?

In his last State of the Union address, the president framed the coming election in terms of the economic debate. He talked about widely shared prosperity and focused on inclusive growth, not just redistribution. And that's the frame Hillary Clinton has chosen for her campaign. Expect to hear more about that on Tuesday night.

The verbal framing was even worse - I can't recall the exact wording from the newscast, but it was something like: .... the best way for Obama to preserve his legacy is to have Hillary Clinton win the Presidency .....

I hope some tweeters caught it and are nailing them for such bias
