WALTER RUSSELL MEAD ON BARACK OBAMA’S COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PRESS: “Most of us outside the bubble think that the mainstream media is pretty pro-Obama. We remember all those comparisons to Lincoln and FDR in the heady early days of the administration. But apparently that’s not how it looks from the Oval Office; the president thinks he’s not getting a fair shot from the press. . . . It’s a good thing we have a Constitution and laws that limit the ability of the great and the good to decide what the press is free to say. If even Barack Obama, the most coddled and cosseted politician in modern American history, thinks the media is against him, it’s clear that no politician can ever be trusted to umpire the press.”
