7 stories Obama doesn't want told
John F. Harris John F. Harris Mon Nov 30, 5:45 am ET
Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds.
No one understands this better than Barack Obama and his team, who won the 2008 election in part because they were better storytellers than the opposition. The pro-Obama narrative featured an almost mystically talented young idealist who stood for change in a disciplined and thoughtful way. This easily outpowered the anti-Obama narrative, featuring an opportunistic Chicago pol with dubious relationships who was more liberal than he was letting on.
A year into his presidency, however, Obama’s gift for controlling his image shows signs of faltering. As Washington returns to work from the Thanksgiving holiday, there are several anti-Obama storylines gaining momentum.
The Obama White House argues that all of these storylines are inaccurate or unfair. In some cases these anti-Obama narratives are fanned by Republicans, in some cases by reporters and commentators.

Meh, the big three in the news will never lose their love for any of the Liberals......CNN is a little less loving of Neo and his cohorts, but not by much. There are several online new outlets that are not in his pocket but you have to search hard. I know that Fox is slanted to the right/conservative, but that is still the only one that I will watch with any regularity. I will watch MSNBC and the like occasionally and read HuffPo, to see what they are reporting, but I mostly stick to Fox and TownHall.
