The media: back in the arms of the Republicans again
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.
