The Chi-Trib’s Swamp blog reports on something many of us predicted at the time of the so-called “truce” made between Fox News and the Obama admin: That it was a TINO (Truce In Name Only). Peter Nicholas writes (via Memeorandum):

What mainstream media journalism is supposed to be all about (it’s about 2 and a half to 3 minutes into this clip):

The Politico reports:
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is drawing criticism from his congressional colleagues, but President Obama offered him some warm words at a Miami fundraiser for the Democratic congressional campaign committees last night.

Obama plays more golf than Bush – where’s the outrage?

The Politico reports (via Memeorandum):
President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he’s already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years.
