The world has changed. We're in a 24/7 corporate media cycle. Absolutely Obama should speak up and attack Fixed Noise. They build their entire existence on destroying him and all Democrats. It's not as if there are any Democrats around that FixedNoise would actually treat with respect.
It's more a bitter irony that we're in a 24/7, global, bloggo/internets ratings-whoring corporate media cycle and in the context of WR Hearst....it seems like nothing really has changed in America, huh? Meglomaniac's still rule the nation...
Finally Obama acts like a President rather than a compromising ass-kisser which he's basically been for his first two years...
