Obama knows the media will cover him and displays it through his arrogance.
The media has colluded with government on propaganda for a long, long time.
It didn't start with Obama.

Propaganda in favor of Japanese-American internment was produced by both the government and local citizens through mediums such as movies and print.

You raised the issue. Exactly where did they grow up? Curious minds want to know your thinking on this one.
Well at least it will be the first time you are curious about anything that has to do with Obama.

See..media is mass propaganda to actually create a "collective" which can be a powerful voting bloc.

The key question to ask is "Who benefits ?"

When it comes to the wars in the ME, we are never shown civilian injuries.
In fact these days we see very little images of the outcome of our bombs.
During Vietnam it was plastered in the papers all the time.

They did the same thing to the past republican presidents as well, so what is your point?
If they were not so onesided, the 60 minutes episode on Bush's military excursion would have created more s****iny instead firing reporters who reported the truth. The media would have covered more of the harm that NAFTA created, which was a thing that Clinton pushed instead of ignoring it. The Bush (Prescott) would have been tried for war profiteering with the Nazis, thus ending a crooked dynasty. Good old Ronnie would have been nailed to the wall pver the Iran Contra mess.

But it's more fun when everything is Obama's fault, right?
The answer is simple.

The bottom line is, Obama is the leader, and Ultimately responsible for the actions of government and it's employees.

If while the commanding officer is asleep, a naval vessel runs aground on a sandbar, is it the fault of the Commanding officer? Ultimately, yes, and he/she pays the price.

WHY?... Because it happened under their command.

This happened under Obama's command, he is ultimately responsible.

The bottom line, what goes on, is ultimately, the responsibility of the commanding officer, and when it comes to government, Obama is the top dog, it makes it his responsibility.

Do you remember that they tried to block pictures of the bodies coming home?
