I disagree. I think a media that HONESTLY excoriates the President and/or Congress for their sins is doing their job as the media was intended to do. The media has not been doing its job for some years now to the point that the raw truth of many things is not given an honest hearing or is glossed over to make the President and his advocates look better. And it allows the President and his advocates to continue in the delusion that he is doing okay and no change of course is needed.
Believe me, getting re-elected is the MOST important thing to most of them, and if the media was really doing its job, they would be doing a better job of getting it right and/or doing it better.
And we wouldn't be discussing Obamacare going to the Supreme Court because it never would have been passed in the first place.
Two things about your post:
I think a media that HONESTLY excoriates the President and/or Congress for their sins is doing their job as the media was intended to do.
1) Do I have to be reminded of it 24/7? Which is what this discussion was about.
and 2) Do you honestly believe the media will be honest?

Nobody forces you to watch or listen or read anything 24/7. If you don't want to see, hear, or read it, it is very easy to avoid it.
But the country is bleeding to death, we have people that have been hurting not for weeks or months, but extending into years, and we have a government hell bent on continuing policies that caused the problem and refusing to change anything that would reverse the current destructive course we are on.
I think that needs 24/7 attention.
And no, as I said, I do not believe most of the Media will be honest because too much of it is also ideologically blind to the point they are incapable of recognizing and/or acknowledging the truth about their designated heroes and icons.
It is not getting better and it won't for a long time to come.
And I believe that I said 24/7 on all stations or that was my intention. Need I become a hermit just to survive?
Honestly, there is a new country song, I don't remember who sings it or its title and the guy discusses leaving his job, getting on a boat and just sailing away for ever... the idea is damned tempting! Except I hate the taste of fish and I am allergic to seafood.
