Is our Beloved President Getting a Fair Shake?

(NOTE: I am making these comments with tongue held firmly in cheek. Well, most of them.)
Poor guy can't win for losing it seems. Promotes transparency in stimulus money, he gets hammered for "snake oil" projects. Cuts back his health care program (no one-payor) and gets slammed from left and right. Promotes reformists in Iran and gets slammed again from left and right.
Sure, he gets some encouragement from NBC and ABC and CNN, but the beatings continue every day on faux TV, Congress and talk radio.
Give it a rating folks... -10 being far too much negative coverage to +10 for way too much positive coverage. Don't be shy, especially you, Kenny...
Hey, folks, he's the only President we've got.

Nope, not a fair one. He gets way to much praise and adulation from the mainstream press. Instead of a critical eye (to keep the govt in check) we get news articles/interviews about how the site of him makes them tingle and all that kinds of crap.

not by choise :P lorl Personally I don't have any tv channels anymore (Yay for digital tv :P lol) so Most of my news about him comes from yahoo and mylot, and headlines on newspapers in newspaper cases around the city... And mylot seems to portray him fairly accurately but there does seem to be a concentration on the bad stuff, you'd think there would occasionally be someone defending him, but I'm yet to see one in the past month or two O.o on yahoo and the papers, they are either neutrally reporting "what he plans to do" or reporting nonsense ("HE SWATTED A FLY")
