I am worried for then the media turns. As a journalist, I know as well as anyone that the media shifts the agenda of the country to sell papers. With Obama's high ratings and seeming unflappability in problems so far, an article labeled "Obama screws up" would sell papers.
No matter what happens during this presidency, the media will try to use it to sell papers. Journalists have a patriotic duty to report the news, but their editors have to make money.
We will never see a day of totally "Fair and Balanced" news, but we will hopefully see a day that doesn't involve bullying, and hopefully that starts before Obama is in the crossfire.
