From “watchdogs” to lapdogs

The WSJ’s James Taranto has written an excellent piece today on how the mainstream media has turned from being government “watchdogs” (ahem) to government lapdogs, and all it took was a change … in the WH. Specifically it took our celebrity Democrat president.

Yeah, there’s been a little push back against the Obama admin here and there, they’re all just jockeying for position. Make no mistake about it: this media was in the bag for Barack Obama before he even decided to run for president. They’ve got too much invested in his success – and the success of liberalism in general – to suddenly start acting objective.
