Can The Press Rehabilitate President Obama?
July 20, 2009 / 12:32 pm • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierWhile President Obama vacationed and spent time overseas with the G8, his poll numbers went down at home. I recall how President Obama’s poll numbers dipped when he gave his World Presidency speech in Germany.
What I’m wondering now is whether the press will be able to bump his poll numbers. The economy is objectively bad. Despite all the sweet, candy-coated talk, the numbers are grim and people are feeling the misery.
Will a constant, unremitting sunny face time on prime time be enough to bring Obama’s poll numbers back from the brink of disaster? We’re about to find out.

I don’t think it will happen. There’s a reason less and less people are watching all the other alphabet networks, because when they see something reported, but yet are NOW seeing for themselves just the OPPOSITE in the same day in their REAL lives, their eyes are being open. Do they believe what they saw with their own eyes or experiences in their own lives, or some newscaster in NYC? When the friends, neighbors and fellow church goers are getting laid off, but a “reporter” says that’s not happening, who are they going to believe?
When times are good, the MSM can get away with more lies, because people are content. But when people are worried whether they will have a JOB next week, they pay attention more, and the lies and cover-ups by the MSM isn’t going to cut it anymore.
