12. Or he's a Socialist Commie Facist ... the media wants you to take your pick.
They don't care which of these ridiculous memes (your left wing version, or the Fox News right wing version) one uses to hate Obama, just so long as they do.

7. After the sale of the Huff Post, I noticed an immediate shift.
All political stories seemed to shift strongly to the right, in tone, content and slant.
Headlines were far stronger to the right with very few positive Obama headlines.
At one time Huff Post was kinda for us, not it is against us.

5. What negative headline?
I clicked on your link and the headline was:


"INSPIRED FOR HIRES"
"Obama's Jobs Plan Heartens Frustrated Blacks"

Is that negative? Or did they change it?

11. It's freedom of the press. They can be negative about Obama if they want to and you can refuse to

patronize them if you want to. Personally, I like HP because most of the comments in their comments section come from liberals. And it's easy to put down the occasional contard who posts there.
