Great take-down of the MakeBelieveMedia by Ace

It's just that they were the ones who actually fused God and President.
I long for the days when elections were not about Salvation, and the Press Corps were not Acolytes, each vying to prove their devotion unto their Prophet.>>>>>>

Full story at the link.  I included the last 3 sentences but its that last one that I really love.  Sums up so well why I would vote for almost any Republican right now (although I do happen to think Romney is very good) but even if I thought he was just a power hungry jerk I'd vote for him because the Media will challenge a Republican president and public pressure would keep him way more honest than Barry has been even if he had no conscience of his own. 

I can't really blame Barry too much for ignoring the constitution and general laws of the U.S. since only the conservative blog community and Rush very mildly calls him out on anything.  There is almost zero non-radio/non web media pressure to make him reconsider and in fact a lot of active media pressure from the old media (TV and big city papers)  on congress when they have tried to rein Barry in on anything.   Power corrupts, but media scrutiny shining a spotlight on the chief holder of power is a great counter against the corrupting tendency;  but instead of serving this important role the old media have encouraged Barry to be corrupt by spinning for him and attacking anyone who dares criticize their  Messiah/Prophet every time he behaves badly.
