Media Still Pushing Obama-Mania
The host of CNN's Reliable Sources program admits that the mainstream news media's highly favorable coverage of Barack Obama may "have crossed a cultural line into mythmaking." Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post says the mainstream media are "packaging a president-elect for profit" and "fostering the notion that Obama is invincible" ... He adds that another example of the media frenzy over Obama is the cable network MSNBC running promos that say: "Barack Obama, America's 44th president. Watch as a leader renews America's promise."
