The arrogance and audacity of Obama is off the charts. How anyone could say the liberal media is nice to R's is incredible let alone "too nice"
Those who doubt the idea that modern liberalism is essentially about denying reality need to hear the latest laughable bit of media analysis from President Barack Obama.
According to the former junior senator from Illinois, the American media elite, the same group of people who have described themselves as "swooning (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/01/19/new-book-claims-journalists-swooned-over-obama-during-record-bar-visi)" for him, is actually too nice to Republicans. This same group of people has taken the notion of "objectivity" too far, according to Obama.
During an extensive interview (http://www.newrepublic.com/article/112190/obama-interview-2013-sit-down-president#) released on Monday, President Obama harshly criticized the press for placing equal criticism on Democrats and Republicans when he believes the GOP should bear more of the blame for lack of progress on issues of national importance.

One of the biggest factors in the president's second term “is going to be how the media shapes debates,” he stated. “If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/01/27/obama-fox-news-and-rush-limbaugh-punish-republicans-working-democrats) for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it.
"The same dynamic happens on the Democratic side," he said. "I think the difference is just that the more left-leaning media outlets recognize that compromise is not a dirty word.”
