If the past few months have shown us anything it’s that the extended love affair Obama had been enjoying with the media has become considerably less torrid.
Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism recently published a study of the 2012 primary campaign that indicates that President Obama has been on the receiving end of a considerable amount of negative coverage over the past several months. The study suggests that the change in tone is the result of the media change to an election footing; President Obama all of a sudden became candidate Obama. With increasingly grim economic news trickling out like Chinese water torture and the momentum undoubtedly behind Mitt Romney, the campaign has become desperate for some positive coverage to help cut through the headwinds.
Time for a Hail Mary. The non-Catholic kind, of course.
