Our left saluted the shoe-throwing Iraqi reporter that President Bush faced.
President Obama entered office throwing a shoo at reporters to keep them friendly or quiet. First it was just Fox News. Now it has spread to anyone not part of the JournoListic public relations firms that much of the rest of the media once was.
Will our press start (figuratively) throwing shoes at this president as they realize that their 100% love is valued less than their 100% loyalty?
It might actually become the fourth estate again rather than the public relations arm of the executive branch.
But not without a fight, it seems.
