The media’s job is to figure out how to get more Democrats elected.
That’s the way the Associated Press seems to see it and a recent hand-wringing editorial from AP shows liberal news sources have been betrayed by the Obama administration.
Never in the post-racial, post-Viagra political landscape has a media action figure fallen so sharply and so quickly. AP now fears that Obama’s magic has worn off.
The list of White House failures is growing: It hasn’t galvanized the legions of 2008 Obama backers in three major statewide losses. It hasn’t prevented primary challenges for at least two vulnerable Senate Democrats even though Obama endorsed them. And it hasn’t recruited strong candidates for Senate seats once held by Vice President Joe Biden and the president himself.
AP can’t blame themselves. They and other journalists created the biggest, coolest honeymoon that a president has ever had. In their rush to get Obama elected, they forgot to ask the tough questions, like how Obama would deliver on his campaign promises. They swept concerns under the rug and lied when that didn’t work.
When high expectations and Obama’s own low qualifications smashed head long into political reality, the media has come to the conclusion that they created a monster that even they can not keep propped up.
And their agenda hangs in the balance.
