Ask WMD: MSM and Obama

Still catching up on some stuff from the WMD Mailbag:
We conservatives need to do something about the MSM. We can't let this happen again. My in-laws from NC believed what they read in Newsweek and saw on CNN. They would never have voted for Obama if they knew what we knew.

My own son just asked me when we would be receiving the $5000 that Obama promised.

I am still angry and ticked off.
Those of us in New Media have been trying very hard to convince the party to realize that they have to work around the 527 Media. We've made some progress on that front, but we still have a LONG way to go.

And let's be honest, New Media still has a LONG way to go too. We need to get better at original reporting, investigative reporting, and hyper-local programing.

Another interesting thing you allude to is the disappointment MANY in the Obama coalition are going to feel when he ultimately has to let somebody down. Obama has managed to piece together a group of people to vote for him that have opposing agendas and sooner or later, he is going to tick off a great number of people. We will just have to wait and see what happens, but I think Obama will have a tougher time getting re-elected because folks will have seen through the facade long before then. When that glorious day comes, you and I shall shake our heads and smile knowingly...
