Meow For Michelle

But for the day at least, the damage was done, as Republicans hijacked the news cycle with their barrage against Mr. Obama’s six words in a professorial 29-minute exchange. While the metaphor of the bully pulpit originated with President Theodore Roosevelt about a century ago and generally remains apt, it does not allow for a 21st-century media environment of constant cable television chatter, blogging and instant Internet videos that empower a president’s opponents to bully back.

In a news article mind you, not an opinion piece, the New York Times defends and rationalizes the president's "the private sector is doing fine" comment. To wit, Republicans = "hijacked", "barrage", 'bully." While Obama was "professorial." 


Now do you understand why we believe the mainstream media is biased?
