"Obama and networks: a symbiotic relationship"--that's the headline from David Bauder, the AP's veteran TV writer, filing a revealing piece about the relationship between Barack Obama and the MSM. Bauder recalls this joke, told by Obama at the Radio-Television Correspondents Dinner last month:
"A few nights ago I was up tossing and turning and trying to figure out exactly what to say," he said. "Finally, when I couldn't get back to sleep, I rolled over and asked Brian Williams what he thought."
Yuk, yuk.
But the truth is, Obama has so much control over the networks that he has started to treat the networks like slutty girlfriends: he can toy with them, and they will still go to bed with him. So his contempt for them only grows.
