The media continues to turn against Obama.

 From Breitbart.com:  The coalition of major news outlets protesting the White House’s photo policy continues to grow, with McClatchy newspapers adding their name on Wednesday to the list of publications that will no longer print official administration images.

Editor's notes:  the media is upset with the extent of media control usurped by the Obama Administration.  This is the first Administration to attempt to dictate release of agenda news and WH photos.  

If you are a Boomer,  as I,  you will remember Nixon and his disdain for the media.  In fact,  he made media his enemy and they crushed him.  

Obama, likewise,  is no friend of the media.  But where Nixon sought to separate himself from media analysis and exposure,  Obama pretended to be Media's friend,  inviting those who are or were approved to sit at his table,  and partake of that which he served up.  In the end, however,  he spied on them [all] and limited access to his White House.  

What good is a "free press" when it acts as an agent of Central Planning?  The notion of a free press completely disappeared during the past 6 years,  beginning with its coverage of Obama in 2008.  Today,  after all this time,  a compliant media has suddenly realized what has happened to them and they are torn between their ideological approval of Obama's social programs  (90% of media agents are socialist/redistribution minded ideologues) and their constitutional rights to function as they see fit.  

If Obama had been a Republican ideologue,  his claim to being a "constitutional scholar" would have been fully vetted, for example.   Instead,  we have a man [still] making that claim,  yet,  without any lecture notes or appearances related to that scholarship,  having not written a single paper of note,  peer-reviewed or otherwise, and having taught a 10 year summer program of no more than three classes per summer.  There are no student summaries of this man,  no one he taught has come forward to proclaim his excellence,  and his transcripts have all been sealed.  When I say "all" I mean to include high school,  college and his work at Harvard.  

We all remember the raze given to Bush 43 for his ancient DUI,  but many, if not most,  are unaware that Obama did coke,  marijuana,  and drank "with enthusiasm"  throughout his last two years in highschool and his first year (at least) in college - and that information comes from his own statements.   

In years gone by,  the press would have vetted his qualifications for High Office instead of choosing between Obama and Hillary Clinton solely on the basis of ideological proclivities.  Understand that Obama's advertised radicalism was more inline with the present day Large Media than anyone in modern history.  There are plenty of qualified blacks.  But, there is only one rhetorically superior black in the Democrat Party.  "They" thought they could use him as a partner.  Turns out,  he does not like "partners," and prefers functioning as an elitist academic to the exclusion of qualified assistants or a "swooning" media.  

And now,  he is paying the price as are all of us.
