Obama Protects His Harem

Obama on the sorry state of his state-run newspapers:

"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.

Translation: "WTF am I gonna do if my state-run media isn't there to run cover for me?"

In his description of blogging as involving, "..no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context" he pretty much described the New York Times, The LA Times, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC CBS...."
Can't say that I blame him.. I mean, why ruin a good thing?
