An Elegant Article, But Wrong

This article from the New York Times faults President Obama for losing control of "the narrative" of his Presidency.  I don't think it's so much the President's fault as it is the fault of the times in which we live.  The last quote in the story is particularly telling:

“If you look at the way the media has been transformed and the way the White House is covered,” Mr. Smith said, “the bully pulpit itself is in danger of being drowned out by talk radio, cable and now Twitter.”

I couldn't agree more with that quote, particularly with respect to Fox News.  I know they're not the only source of news that is biased, but they are particularly biased against this Presidency and "the liberal agenda" in general, and they are now "the most trusted name in TV news," according to some poll or other.  If most Americans still get their news from TV (and I believe most do), that is troubling indeed.  That Fox News boycott I'm working on is still only a one-person boycott, as far as I know, but I'd like to believe that someone out there can recognize when they're being handed a negative story that is patently untrue or designed to mislead voters, and that that person will join the boycott.  AIDS activists used to have a sign that said SILENCE = DEATH, and I'm tempted to believe that in this case, silence is not an option.
