When is the media going to get the fact that they were used?

I'm not sure what to call the media--whores, for getting paid for their tripe, or sluts, because they repeatedly bend over and take it from Barack Obama for nothing. Whatever he makes up, they dutifully slobber all over it. So I'm a little confused.

They, however, should not be confused about the fact that Obama uses them for a purpose and really doesn't reciprocate their love? This should do it (courtesy of the normally slobbering LA Times):

We're not making this up.

Barack Obama was elected commander in chief promising to run the most transparent presidential administration in American history.

This achievement and the overall promise of his historic administration caused the National Newspaper Publishers Assn. to name him "Newsmaker of the Year."

The president is to receive the award from the federation of black community newspapers in a White House ceremony this afternoon.

The Obama White House has closed the press award ceremony to the press.

From the president's official schedule:

"Later in the afternoon, the President and the First Lady will attend a reception with the National Newspaper Publisher Association in the State Dining Room, where they will be presented the Newsmaker of the Year award. This event is closed press."

Maybe they'll let the newspaper people pass the award through the fence.


Ok, back to me. You think this is enough for them to clue in?

Nah, I didn't either.
