Listen to yourself. Progressive rhetoric long ago crowded out honest discussion in the media. "Obama hatred"? Whenever Bush-haters went on their rants of the last eight years, we were reminded of the rough and tumble history of American political discourse, "politics ain't beanbag". NOW this is suddenly a problem because the wrong person is being criticized? "Gee, I can't fathom why newspapers are in such trouble...." As mentioned elsewhere, when you poison the well, don't then expect it to be magically cleaned up.
