Oh, Mr. Obama.....you have such character, such integrity

In THIS ARTICLE, which discusses a NEWSPAPER BAIL OUT ("Dying NY TIMES, are you listening?")............"Obama said that good journalism is 'critical to the health of our democracy,' but expressed concern toward growing tends in reporting -- especially on political blogs, from which a groundswell of support for his campaign emerged during the presidential election....I am concerned that if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, that what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding," he said."

Ah, I SEE. Where were his 'concerns' about the blogosphere when there was a 'groundswell of support for his campaign..?' Suddenly, now that people aren't quite so enamored with him, and conservative blogs are outdoing the printed press and liberal blogs, it's all about "no context" and "no serious fact-checking" and "people shouting at each other"?

By the way, where was the 'serious fact-checking' before Van Jones was hired? Or when he invited a group like ACORN to the White House before his inauguration so they could be a part of the dialogue, remember? Where is 'serious fact-checking' when he hires Geithner and others who hadn't paid their taxes? Where is 'serious fact-checking' when there's more rush to GO GREEN than actually listening to the side of hundreds of scientists who don't agree with Al Gore? Where is the 'serious fact-checking' when he suggests the Republicans haven't contributed with any ideas about health care reform? SUDDENLY, he's concerned? WOW
