Obama Blames "Splintered Media" for Lack of Compromise in Washington

He's actually right on this point. The media has a tremendous effect on the opinions of the uniformed. Regardless of what side is right or wrong, especially to those who aren't news or political junkies, a lot of people who watch the news take it as the gospel. If it's on the news it has to be true, right? Unfortunately that means the biased and opinionated views of today's MSM. If the liberals of today's crooked media say it's a fact, then it's a fact. How can anyone dispute that when the conservative side of the media is hardly allowed to air their views?

But although I whole-heartedly agree with the president on this point, the fact that he repeatedly fails to mention his own role in this mess kind of makes his comments irrelevant, as usual.
