Midknight Review -- new and revised: Is Obama really getting the degree of media support we think he is getting.

As you know, I view most polls with a great deal of suspicion. PEW is an organization that is clearly Left leaning, but not radically Left, by any means. I consider PEW to be a reliable source. Having said that, this particular chart is something that is beyond "mystifying," to me. This chart measures media coverage, both negative and positive coverage. The bar graph for Obama is so unrelated with what we see as "reality" as to "boggle the mind."

Jan 30, 2012 - Feb 5, 2012

	Negative	Positive
Percentage of coverage
Gingrich	41%	24%
Paul	14	29
Romney	38	29
Santorum	22	29
Obama	44	9

Here is PEW's explanation:

The good economic news on the jobs front last week didn’t translate into better coverage for the president who once again saw his negative coverage overwhelm the positive—and by a factor of nearly 5-1. Indeed, in only two weeks since the beginning of July has Obama endured a larger gap between negative and positive coverage than he did last week, when it reached 35 percentage points.

Editor's note: if this is, in fact, an accurate depiction of what is going on in the media, at large, the radical element in news reporting has backed off from their fearless leader.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
