I think he's right. I've been noticing they seem more free to criticize Obama as they beginning to prop up Hillary.

QuoteDrive-Bys Transition from Obama to Hillary

Ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed it already.  If not, I think it's safe to say that the worm has turned in Washington.  I think behind the scenes a formal decision has been made on the part of the media, and that is to focus on their treatment of Hillary while casting aside Obama.  Obama is over. He's yesterday's news. There's nothing positive to report. It's time to build up Hillary, and I think I could make the case for that today in a couple of instances, which we will do.

Not sure if I agree. There seems to some anger directed at Hillary because she is criticizing Obama's foreign policy. Also she is running to the right and the media prefers Warren because she is borderline Stalinist.

Yep. I do notice it's now okay to criticize Obama, but I think the one to watch is Warren. Libtards love her. Hillary, not so much. I think her time has come and gone.

I couldn't agree more with the last two previous posts.  Hillary has too much baggage and she's a has been.  If the media doesn't destroy her, the GOP establishment will have a field day with her most recent scandals.  The media will begin to shift their focus on Warren just as they did on Obama ... same scenario ... a virtual unknown rising senator.  The media will sell her bill of goods and make it seem like she's the answer to all of America's problems and the Democrats answer to a "renewed" movement to the far left, meanwhile exposing the do nothing Congress that the majority of Americans dislike even more so than Obama himself.

We may take both Houses in November, but nothing is for sure in 2016.  The GOP will be in control, front and center.  Obama still has veto power and may make the new Republican majority look ineffective...OR..things will finally being to turn around thanks to the new Republican majority and Obama will take credit.  It's all going to boil down to how the American people perceive the new Republican Congress.

Hillary's baggage won't be an issue unless she gets the nomination. The base wants a full blown communist. The media being completely out of touch with the rest of the country thinks someone like Warren can win. Clinton knows better and will move to the right. That will upset the base and the media. These new crisis in the middle east could be a major factor. The left want no military intervention aside from selective airstrikes and drones.

If Warren doesn't poll well the media will once again get behind Hillary but then her baggage will become an issue.

That baggage is a major issue and I don't intend to let it pass.  Whoever can ask questions about Benghazi the loudest is going to be like my next of kin.  I'll be all in it.  Hitlery should not even be trotted out to run for anything.  Americans have not had closure on her treasonous acts as sec of state and it is hypocritical of any of us to not demand answers.

I only heard the first 30-minutes of Rush yesterday, and he never discussed 'media access'.  Who's going to be ditzed next time?  FOX again?  Good luck with that

Nah, the MSM hasn't abandoned obama.  They're addicted to 'access'.  They've made their bed.  And ad-revenue for their Sunday shows gives clue that they're dying in it.

I only have to say one name:  Conrad Dobler... on what political-discourse on the MSM will devolve into;

I agree with the above that Obama can veto bills passed by a republican congress. However, if it is well constructed law that the American people agree with, like controlling the border, Obama will be the one on the spot. He does not want to be the one held responsible for his actions. It would all be in the hands of the GOP.

Bingo!!
It'll be a whole new game after Nov when the political tide shifts, even the media won't be able to ignore the obvious.
He's a lame duck already, but if the GOP get smart and force his hand, no political clout in the world is going to save him.

Obozo is a lame duck president and the media knows it. Yes he can veto anything passed by a republican congress, but if they can muster the votes, they can override the veto.
If Warren happens to win the WH, we are all screwed!

IF?
The Dim party is essentially dead, the only reason you don't recognize it, is because the LSM is keeping them on life support, propping them up like a "Weekend at Bernie's".
Nov will prove just how dead the leftist movement is in this country.
The people are sick of failed Marxist policy, and want absolutely nothing more to do with it.

We can forget overrides even if the GOP has a majority in the senate. The dems will have at least 34 seats and none would vote to override.

Isn't Hillary up there in Martha's Vineyard kissing Obama's ass while we speak...?

A foolish man complains about his torn pockets.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.

Clinton Apologizes to Obama for Foreign Policy Firestorm

"Earlier today, the Secretary called President Obama to make sure he knows that nothing she said was an attempt to attack him, his policies, or his leadership. Secretary Clinton has at every step of the way touted the significant achievements of his Presidency, which she is honored to have been part of as his Secretary of State. While they've had honest differences on some issues, including aspects of the wicked challenge Syria presents, she has explained those differences in her book and at many points since then. Some are now choosing to hype those differences but they do not eclipse their broad agreement on most issues," said a statement from Nick Merrill, a Clinton spokesman.
