Two Legs Good?

Given all that, are we now suddenly—in 1984-fashion—around late January either
to be told all that was not quite so, or will we simply hear no more about how
these Bush legacies have ruined America—or what exactly is the party line to be?
There is still such a thing, after all, as Google.

The point is that
somewhere around early to mid-2007 ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, the New York
Times, the Washington Post, NPR, Newsweek, Time, etc. chose to become—in the
manner that they selected, emphasized, and presented their news stories—a
quasi-official Obama media, or at least a quasi-official
what-they-thought-Obama-was news media. Chris Matthews' asinine statement about
his investment in the success of the Obama administration was merely a crude
summation of the creed of the more sober and judicious.

I don't really
think they can now pull off an Animal-Farm-like 'two-legs were bad', 'now
two-legs good' complete turn-about just because they've taken over the manor.
